    Toby Keith dies at 62

    Loved this guy. Took a girlfriend to see him summer before college in St. Louis. Great writer and entertainer. Not many celebrities married to the same chick for 39 years. Also, on a less serious note, not many people who could write a song about the Taliban from the point of view of a...

    Fantastic value Juan and Lauren. I've sent this to a buddy of mine earlier this week and told him he and his dad should do it.

    Cape Town hotel and sights

    Cape Town is my favorite city of the 49 countries I've been too. I hate cities, but I love Cape Town. The waterfronts, the beaches, the scenery, the atmosphere. It will be hard to do anything or go anywhere and not enjoy it. Have fun. I stayed in some youth hostel, but it was in 2006...so...

    Hey there, I am in the current one with the Vietnam guys on the cover with the tiger they killed. I think it is 2023 vol 3. Also in the second one and fourth one. Their ads are hilarious....a lot of double takes .."did they just write that?!" Haha

    Cat hunters

    I like hunting cats. I am somewhat obsessed. This is neat seeing these photos. I have run a pack of lion, bobcat and bear hounds in Idaho for the past dozen years. My pack has caught about 130 mountain lions and four bobcats. Besides elephant hunting, mountain lions are my favorite. Species...

    All four of us has the time of our lives on this trip. Our wives loved the hunt and are eager to come again. Both my buddy and I would and will hunt with this outfit again. LJ Safari's pricing is very fair. They did everything possible to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Juan and Lauren...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    If you get the opportunity to hunt with LJ Safaris, you need to ask Juan about his farm equipment story. This story, and his supplemental video, was worth the trip alone. It is his story to tell, but maybe one evening over a couple of beers, ask him about it. The only thing that I wish would...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    I gave this article to my doctor. As you can see in the highlighted area, for a thorn to do this to a hand is incredibly rare. This was a medical case study from 2019...and it says that it was the first reported case in a hand in ten years.

    For the other thorn, the doc gave me a nerve block and some sedatives. That thorn was at the surface of the skin. For this, he said he had to put me all the way under since he would really be digging around in the joint. The hope was that he would find something and not just flush it out hoping...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    I went in to see my doc again. I told him that once the steroids wore off, it went back to the pain and swelling. We talked about exploratory surgery and flushing the joint out. He kind of wanted to wait. At that point I was like six or seven weeks out and it had only gotten worse. I also...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    I took the steroids. It felt a bit better and less painful to move on the initial dose (which is the biggest dose) then just felt worse. I did some online research. Apparently, plant thorns can (rarely) leave a tiny piece in the joint that can cause big issues. I've had a million cactus...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    It continued to cause a lot of pain and the swelling didn't go down. Moving the finger felt terrible. So when I got home, I went to see the hand surgeon...again. "So, have you seen a lot of 'thorn-in-the-hand' cases," I asked. "No," he responded. "Only two, and both of them were you." Lucky...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    After I got my Nyala, we were getting photos. I write for some hunting magazines and am pretty particular (or nerdy) about getting nice shots I can potentially use for a story. There was a little grass in front of the antelope's nose. I grabbed a chunk and pulled it out. Then another. I got a...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    Juan and I chatted, and although I was happy with my experiences with the caracal and bushpig on my package, he said he would credit the trophy fees on those animals towards one of the nyala bulls we’d been eyeing on his farm that I was quite interested in. This, as I said, was an unexpected...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    The next morning we casted dogs into an area where pigs were coming into a dam. They lit up immediately and we had a split race on our hands. Unfortunately, both pigs caught were young. Dogs hit a trail and go, and don’t differentiate between sow, boar and young. Davey was helping the farmer get...

    Juan and Lauren also own a very nice restaurant in Kenton. We grabbed a drink there in town midday. Great view. I spotted a bushbuck in the distance. Our ladies rolled their eyes at me. Then the ladies wanted a beach walk. I said something stupid like, "ehhhh, I think we need to go back...

    Forgot to add this. When we arrived at the coastal camp, the girls told us that they probably wouldn't go hunting with us anymore. It was new and super nice. They wanted to hang out there. Giraffes were spotted out the window, and they would take jogs on the property and weave through zebras...

    When Davey was heading out, Juan, Lauren, my buddy and I were sitting overlooking an area early afternoon, but about to head back to camp for a quick meal before the evening hunt. A mature boar warthog was chilling in the meadow, but wasn't sporting trophy tusks. Juan say, "shoot it for camp...

    SOUTH AFRICA: LJ SAFARIS - Excellent Hunt In All Aspects

    We started on bushpig at a baitsite on Juan’s farm. Juan runs his farm conservatively with regards to harvest, so there are some high quality animals there. He also sees the bushpigs as game animals and not vermin. The bushpig houndsman, Davey, had some damn good hounds and was a relentless...
