Is there a best way to handle a poor African 1st experience and move on?

May a golden wildebeest butt pirate take you for a trip of the seven seas of sodomy onboard his purple headed catamaran....in a non-consensual sort of way of course!

Douchbaggery, indeed!

Worst thread of the year, OP!

That pretty much sums up my feeling of this thread as well.

Thank you for all the positive comments. They are helpful and truly appreciated. There is a couple of additional points I would like to make. My experience over there was actually good. Here is why. I am currently in my mid fifties. I was able to go with a friend from middle school. We were 13 when we became friends and have been friends ever since, despite not ever living in the same state. My friend and I decided to enjoy ourselves no matter what. My idea to create this post only came when I received the pic. of the taxidermy work that I didn't like. I complained to the Taxidermy Company and then received a response from the outfitter. My posted summary is based on my best recollection some 8 months post hunt. Prior to posting, I did not discuss with my hunting buddy to refresh my memory, I did not have or create notes to review prior to posting, etc. I think that naming and slamming the PH here would show poor taste on my part as his side of the story is not represented here, nor is the account of any others involved. Further, I am sure that all people visiting his ranch don't have experiences like ours or he would already be out of business. My purpose was to vent a bit and gain composure. There has been an overwhelming response of positive feedback from members on this site and I am grateful for it.
This is a far cry from your opening post. Best recollections from only 8 months? I remember what I didn't like about my first safari and it was almost 32 years ago! Feels like a bait and switch.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
