    This is a great defense of hunting

    I think this encapsulates what we all know/believe and probably deserves a wider distribution. I found it in a comment thread by "Gosh1" on Africa Geographic in the story on Ian Gibson's death. I haven't read all the 2000 plus comments there, but there is some good stuff there and it even...

    Craig Boddington is going to Burkina Faso in 2014

    Over the last few weeks, I have become very interested in Burkina Faso as a possible destination for Safari #2. Not sure when #2 will happen, but I have to dream. I see that Boddington is going there in 2014, so presumably it will increasingly be on US hunter's radars as he writes about it...

    My Hunting Blog and Commentary on Melissa Bachman Lion Controversy

    I apologize if this is the wrong area to post this. A year ago, as the decision was made to go to Africa, my wife told me to keep a journal or blog about the whole thing as I like to write. I have hesitated to post the link till more of the hunt story was written but decided to weigh in on...

    Has anyone here used them? I did a site search here and found nothing relevant. My stuff is sitting there and they can either do the taxidermy or ship it raw here to the states. Taxidermy has never been a priority for me on my hunt, but I plan to have it done. I am constantly surprised that...

    Thinking about no or limited taxidermy

    I have an upcoming Buffalo/Plains game hunt in Zimbabwe. Game targeted -Cape Buffalo/Kudu/Impala/Warthog and Zebra. My first time to Africa. This hunt stretches my budget and one way I justify it is that my wife and I go after experiences, not things. We simply don't have a lot of stuff. I...

    Botswana Hunting Closure Case Study

    The Meera stuff really got me to thinking. I am new here so nobody really knows me. I am a farmer in the US who had the crop of a lifetime in 2012 so I decided to go on the trip of a lifetime. I will be hunting Matetsi in Zimbabwe for Buff/Plains game in June. I also have some...
