The Sportsman's Expo in San Mateo,CA, was very cool. Lots and lots of great taxidermy, and outfitters for hunters and fisherman.
I was amazed at the disparity in prices between Africa and Alaska (or any US destination). Basically you can get an all expenses covered plains game safari (kudu, gemsbok, impala, oryx,etc.) for 7 days for under $2300.00! And a friend checked the airfare- it's under $2500.00!!
In Alaska, it's pay for the air taxi (rumor has it the air taxi has doubled or tripled in the past years-Any feed back?), pay for the hunt and guide, and the trophy fees. Most hunts were more than $4,000. For $14,000 you could shoot a grizzly, moose, and caribou. I'm not sure what this $ doesn't include...
Here in CA, the hunting pressure is immense. It's very hard to find good deer hunting, and most of those are medium to small black tails. I'm looking for a good meat hunt that's under $2,000 total- including tags and licenses, fuel, groceries, etc. Maybe cow elk in Oregon?...
