WOW, i have been going through some of the old threads in this forum and there is so much stuff there that I don't think I could ever catch up on all that has been discussed. I see that in the past that there has been gun raffles and hunts given away, do you all still do those things here and who do they benefit, other than the recipient? I mean do some of the proceeds go to charity or to help maintain this site? Sorry if this is off topic a bit but reading some of these past threads has me shaking my head at times, the whole SH thing and the Russel "free hunt" thread are a few of them. I like the idea of being able to come in here and read past hunting reports both good and bad but it appears to me that those who post bad reports are usually chastised for doing so. Anyways, there is a world of info in those reports and it's a good place to start searching once one has decided to do an African hunt. Thanks to many of you for sharing your knowledge, it's much appreciated.
