Andy, you're the type of man I need to talk to. I've just begun investigating so if I seem a little ignorant, I am. See, I've heard that yes, you can go hunting for 4,000.00 BUT you have taxes, shipping, food, shots, pay off the local gov't, etc. Sort of "hidden costs." No, I've never been but I've just read WHITE HUNTERS by Herne and I've decided I need to go before I die. Any web sites, information, or advice is appreciated. ~R
