Track, you are likely the one with common sense. These hunts are definitely not for most people, even if they were free and most cannot deal with the metal stress involved in them. There is a lot of stress involved with hunting and traveling in these countries and at the end of the day, some danger. While some people do go strictly to collect a trophy, I'd say most that go on these hunts go for the adventure and the trophy becomes secondary. Hunting in a culture that is so vastly different from ours, in a region of the world that is basically unknown to the western world is adventure to some and senseless to others. Vive la difference. For me it's become almost like a drug...I can't wait for the next adventure. I know my Marco polo on the wall is much more than a big set of horns to boast about it....it a reminder of an incredible adventure into the cradle of civilization....a place where Genghis Khan once ruled supreme. My mount is a mental teleportal back to that adventure. I look at it often!
