Welcome aboard Dave. AH Members "vette" Outfitters on a daily basis. I'd suggest taking the proposals you get and put them on a spreadsheet. Narrow it down to a few and then watch what the guys that are hunting this year say about your "favorites." Hunting in Africa is like nothing you've ever seen. Guaranteed, you will be planning your second trip before you get home from the first one.
Many outfitters also offer wing shooting opportunities. The folks on AH will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Remember that planning the trip is part of the fun.
Thanks so much for this post. I can see the wisdom in it. I've already received several sterling recommendations and tons of contact from outfitters as well. It really is a situation of having the agony of choice!
