    Hi Chris, I am glad that you find the words and thoughts of others touching as not all men would admit this to themselves let alone others. You are in an envious situation of making a living out of what you love to do and this shows by your actions. Each and every one of your clients both...

    Hi John, I'm afraid that it wasn't on the menu but she does like to cook European dishes for sure. I never went hungry which was the main thing but I am never a big eater so there was no problem. The planning did come together thanks to your guidance and I would do it all again if the...

    Hi Brickburn, Thanks for the thoughts, Chris did a wonderful job and to his credit was able to assist me into the right position to take the shot. As for carrying the meat up, I thought that they were joking until they butchered the carcass after taking the cape. They were to say the least...

    Hi Messmate, One Black and One Blue Wildebeest but the black is older and of a better size. I love the Kudu and a reasonable size for the E.C. but as for the next trip... well I'll have to win lotto first. Cheers, Jeff Gray

    Africa, the mere sound of the word congers up stories of Hemingway, Corbett, Taylor and after 50 plus years of waiting to go to Africa for a Safari, I finally made the decision to bite the bullet and contacted Chris Troskie of CT-Safaris where I advised Chris of my limitations and asked him was...

    Hi DiamondHitch, Thanks for the encouragement, I will ask Chris to point out "Your" animals but can you at least give me a first name (P.M. me if you want) as he sees a lot of people and may not remember "Your" animals without a name. I am hearing a lot about the Nyala and my arm is going...
