Aloysius,

(Boy, I'm not sure I'm doing you any favor here but here goes: )

From a guy that came to understand late in life that hunting Africa is a grand passion: The problem of order is always worth some real concern.

Being young has both its advantages and disadvantages. Finding the thing that will be a good long term passion is really important as it allows you to plan for a long term during which you really want to be exercising the passion.

This African Hunting thing is not inexpensive. The gear is also not inexpensive ... and if you've developed a taste for doubles it can get more than slightly expensive.

You probably ought to decide if the hunting or the equipment is your primary interest. If the hunting is, then getting that started at a reasonable pace (plains game every couple of three years) is a good idea. Start with a reasonable .375 bolt rifle (something like a Winchester Classic or a CZ) and aside a little money every year for the heavy double you want.

That sort of approach would give you the ability to do other things in life while recognizing that where you spend your money is important. Will let you make the choices of new cars versus banking the money for the next trip and the DR kitty ... and get you hunting early enough to fully develope the addiction
