Historic Safari Prices

I'm with Biddleman..... I would have been 10 or 11. Seeing Africa in books, pics of the landscape & all the different animals, definitely set wheels in motions for me.
Jeez, you guys are making me feel old! I was 32 on that first trip in '85!
 
Now for a corundum ...in 1985 I could have afforded a trip to Africa....but my first and only wife always bot a mink coat when I went on any hunting trip. We could do a Wyoming antelope for less than $300 in those days and when I returned there was another mink coat. Well .... Long story short after 10 coats I could not afford that trip to africa...she's gone...I am here and then did not go because of work...What a mistake. Go when you can the world functions without you, don't be so arrogant that everything goes to Hell if you are not there. Someday you will be physically unable, then what. Spend the kids inheritance, it is your money anyway. By the time the dust settles the attorneys, government, and funeral directors get most of it. It never gets cheaper
 
and the quote is "The cemetery is full of indispensable people." Life is not a dress rehearsal.

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
