The entire clan (@pprox 30 people) is going on a Safari in June 17. We have gone before to Kenya but I did not hunt another country on the back side; will not make that same mistake again.
As I am sure most of you can appreciate, I am mildly obsessed with going to Africa again. Tons of questions I will post on the other forums. Looking for Kudu, Gemsbok, Zebra and whatever the PH says is a good animal.
My Uncle Mike was my hero as a kid. Raised in Montana and knowledgeable on all things hunting, fishing and Navy -he is a retired Captain, I am a Lieutenant Commander - he filled my head with the wonders of the field and the open sea. He had lots of pictures of Africa and a Zebra skin in his gun room that I thought was the coolest thing ever.
I fly fish a lot and hunt mostly birds. I got a solo elk a few years back and it nearly killed me getting that mighty wapiti off the mountain. I hear African has people that carry the big animals for you; that sounds fine.
18 years ago a great gal married me but we have a minor problem. I told her I didn't ever want blinking, colored Christmas tree lights. She countered that she would have no dead animals on the wall. If I knew then what I know now.... That verbal pre-nup has proven airtight so it is Euro mounts and skins for me.
Large mountains and elk live near me. Anybody interested in swapping something, hides, guns, knives, hunts,marital wisdom etc. for high mountain lake cutthroat fishing, gimme a buzz.

BTW, Tebeaux is my Labrador's name. His full name is Tiberius Tiberon Thibadeaux, but we got him when Timmy was playing for Denver so it is pretty much after Tim. I thought a cajun spelling might make him a better duck dog; so far so good.
