@Doug Hamilton and
@Betterinthebush
Thank you both so much for your kind words of appreciation. It means a great deal.
The thing about being active on social media (including online hunting forums) is that you put yourself on a platform where you are subjected to great scrutiny by anybody hiding behind a computer screen. Even ill-mannered lowlife degenerate conspiracy theorists such as our dear delusional dchum (who has only hunted a few plains game and thinks that he's qualified to pass judgment on those who have have been hunting dangerous game for years when he was still in diapers). For the most part, I try to be very patient & civilized to these individuals. But everybody has a breaking point.
For the record:
My credentials are on my website.
I have a Wikipedia page.
I've authored an entire book on dangerous game hunting (where I basically made my entire life an open book for all my readers across the globr).
Renowned hunter & author Dr. Jorge Pinero mentioned me in his book and on his social media pages repeatedly. And nobody busts fake hunters more than he does.
Alaskan Master Guide Phil Shoemaker is a close personal friend willing to vouch for many of my hunts. As is Clint Taylor of Game Trackers Africa.
I've helped two members here plan their dream hunting trips into India to cull Nilgai & wild boar and hunt problem Gaur (

I've helped one member here hunt lions in the Kalahari and he directly accredits me to his success (
@JD Noblin )
Knowing dchum as I've come to over the years, he will probably bring up some of my pictures now and try to argue that I'm not the same guy in all my photographs. Well, all I've got to say is that there's a feature on the internet nowadays called "Google image Search" which can identify plagiarized photographs if they have been taken from any books or anywhere else on the internet. I can tell you right now that even if anybody searches for ten years, nobody will ever find any of my photographs on the internet or on any books. Except one or two which directly refer to me by name. People develop some changes to their appearance over the years (such as weight, tan or hair style). It's called life. Something which our poor dchum doesn't seem to have.
But hey, what do I know ? I'm a phony, right ?
P.S: Just because someone goes to Zambia for an elephant hunt, doesn't mean that they will commence the hunt AS SOON AS THEY LAND.
