Hi Guys

Supplementary to the other topic - I thought this would be useful and interesting to some.

Cheers and thanks for you honest participation.

Matt Graham

Question:
At this time, will the current worldwide economic turmoil likely change your mind about intended international hunts for 2009/2010. IE are you likely to cancel or postpone planned or booked international hunts?

Choices:
Yes
No
Undecided
I didnt have these plans

The safari industry has simply priced me out of the game! Even before the financial slump we are in now, I haven't been able to to hunt OZ or Africa at all for a few years! The slump in the economy only made it less likely that I will hunt farther away from home than Alaska! CRYBABY

I am still going,but to be honest if I had not already put $ on the line maybe it would be different story, but as it stands I don't feel like I really have a choice.

I'm still going in '09.

This is it...my one African hunt. Barring nuclear warfare, alien invasion, or an express telegram from God forbidding it, I'm going.

Even then, it would probably take at least two out of three to stop me. banana

The poll results are not shocking considering the economy. Nearly half are postponing.

I went to Tanzania this year and will go to Zim in 2010. If money gets tight I will sell my house, put the money in a safe deposit box, buy a new house with zero down, do not make any payments, after BHO is elected the government will bail me out of foreclosure, use the savings to go hunt elephant.

What a superior idea! And, if you live in the right county, the sheriff won't evict you, even if a notice is issued.

I am planning another bear hunt in the usa for 2009. I am considering an african hunt, but it will be 2012 before I can swing it.

i am going come hell or high water. however, it may be an international fishing trip( generally cheaper than a hunting trip)- just as much fun IMHO.

I figure at my age I have one shot left, so I'll do my third and final hunting trip to RSA and Namibia in 2010, or die trying. If the current leader in the USA sweepstakes should win, I think I'll be needing some relief about that time!
