I understand your position from the PMs as well as this thread.

No I do not want to delete the post or thread. The objective is a reasonable one.

As previously said I do think the organisers could have made an effort to provide substitute prizes for the value (or cost to them) of the rifle and airfares eg cash contribution to the winner's air fare and perhaps additional funds available for the safari eg observer or trophy fees. It would have been very easy for them to even out the prize value.

Of course some non-USA residents might still buy tickets. That's their choice.

We'll leave it like that I think. People can decide themselves. The prize is still a good one. Airfares do make it weeter though. For USA residents, and has been mentioned on the web site it would be a very good hunt for a new person to African safaris.

I would certainly be buying a couple tickets if a USA resident.

PS Why do people (Rob - not just you) keep suggesting we delete threads? These are open forums and "owned" by the members. Only in exceptional circumstances would we do that.
