    NAMIBIA: Backpack Safari For Mountain Zebra Hunt

    Greyfox, The plan was for at least 3-4 liters a day. It's prudent to carry more than you think you will need. I find that backpacking in the mountains here in Arizona during the warmer months I drink a lot of water, we lose a lot of people every year because of heat/water related issues. In...

    KYRGYZSTAN: 2nd Chance Ibex Hunt

    Sizing it up. Before we left on the hunt while in base camp, I was asked what size Ibex did I expect, I replied that I would be happy with an Ibex that was 1 meter (39 “) or larger. As this was my second trip to travel over 11000 miles to hunt Ibex, and being considerably older than most who...
