Steve, that is a good answer. That is why I presented the question to this forum. Knew I would get an appropriate answer. I will not even bring up the question to the PH. I don't want to insult him or put him in an uncomfortable position. Might find myself as bait if I am not careful:) We have added extra days to the donated hunt and will certainly take other animals. I am sure that I will get addicted to Africa an "Need" to return for another trip. Knowing how I work, I will see a nice Kudo and not care about the fee anyway.

That game collection must be a lot of work and dangerous. I have seen it on TV. I bet it is quite a sight with the copper zipping around.

I think that is a wise decision........

Yup, game capture is a lot of hard work and indeed dangerous. It's a lot of fun though!! Most companies use Robinson R22 choppers as they're slightly less expensive to buy, run and maintain, but they're a real SOB to fly (it's a bit like flying a video game in that control input is incredibly sensitive) and they have the highest accident rate of any small chopper........ Game capture pilots also have high accident rates and any and any and all kinds of insurance in the industry is very expensive.
