Great video that visually shows ...with emotion....why hunting is so important to rural communities. Now, if we could get everyone to watch.

Thanks for the info Rich. I appreciate it. Have fun while you are there! Sue

No but I know quite a few people who are going. I'm anxious to hear how it goes. Keep us informed. Sue

Welcome to AH CT from rural Idaho. I'm excited for you to be planning your first trip to Africa. You have definitely came to the best place for advice and info. Happy adventures! Sue

Hello Null, nice to meet you too. Welcome to AH from rural Idaho. All the best. Sue

Welcome to AH! I'm excited for you to be planning a trip to the Eastern Cape. I have not been to that part of Africa yet. Hopefully someday! Enjoy. Sue Tidwell

Welcome to AH! Im so excited that you are planning to a trip to South Africa. You will become addicted like the rest of us. Happy hunting. Sue Tidwell

I'm so jealous! I don't need to tell you but HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME....and Happy hunting. Be safe. Sue

I'm afraid too that it is the lions that will pay the real price. Such a complicated and complex issue.

Welcome to AH. AND Congratulations on your upcoming safari. I am so excited for you, your wife, and son. How wonderful that you will experience Africa for the first time together. Just be prepared. You will want to keep going back again and again. My husband and I went to Tanzania because it was...

Thanks so much for sharing this. It has some great stats I can use for a talk I am doing at the Serengeti Park Zoom next week (via Zoom). I'm afraid that I'm stepping into the lions den. I'm not sure they knew the message in my book before inviting me. Sue

You have a valid point. We put all of our faith in the PH's and outfitters. It is conceivable that the hunters didn't know.

@Scott CWO Those are definitely valid points. There are no easy solutions that is for sure. Sue

I understand your point @Wishfulthinker580. Please see the excerpts from APHA and Danny McCallun for their opinion on this issue that I posted replying to @Scott CWO . Thanks so much for voicing your opinion. This is such a touchy and controversial subject....but it has huge implications for the...

Welcome to AH! You will love it here. Enjoy...and Happy adventures! Sue

Scott, I do agree with you. They shouldn't be habituating elephants to people but how do you stop in in national parks where I'm assuming it just comes naturally? Either way, the hunting of these big tuskers is detrimental to the hunting industry. It may not be fair but it is the reality of the...

I am so sorry to learn of your health issues. Please know that you and your wife and family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sue

Regarding this big tusker, a person (who shall remain anonymous but DOES support well managed hunting) contacted me to set the record straight regarding this big tusker. The elephants that wonder into Tanzania from Amboseli National Park are habituated to humans. Hunters can literally drive up...

Welcome to AH from rural Idaho. That is so exciting that you will be sharing your first African hunt with you son! What special memories you will make! Happy adventures. Sue Tidwell

Welcome to AH Matty! Happy adventures. Sue

LOVED this! Thank you for sharing @Mark A Ouellette ! Sue

Hello from rural Idaho. I am so excited to hear you are going to Africa for the first time. Have you heard the quote by Richard Mullen. "“The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa - for he has so much to look forward to." Well, I can relate! There is nothing like the first...

Welcome from rural Idaho! I'm sure you will enjoy AH. Happy adventures. Sue

Welcome to AH! I'm sure you will enjoy it here. Happy adventures. Sue

This was already being circulated on Instagram with the normal comments to go with it...trashing hunters. Honestly, it made me sick to my stomach. Not because it was a bad hunt...but because I knew the antis would use this like another Cecil. I was relieved when it went almost a week before...

Thanks for the info Mark. Yes, we order a lot of stuff from Amazon too, especially with the free shipping which is a HUGE saver. I hate using Amazon so much (I'd rather use smaller retailers) but when you live an hour away from everything, it is just easier. You are lucky that you have a sister...

@Firebird thanjs for the info. WOW u didn’t know Cabelas weren’t hard core hunters in the beginning. I definitely want to read this. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sue

It's on my list ....but I haven't got to it yet. So many books, so little time! Happy reading. Sue

@flatwater bill, your comment made me laugh out loud. I'm with you. I LOVE audiobooks these days. It allows me to "read" so many more books because I can do it while walking, cleaning, driving, etc. Unfortunately, many of the African books I want to read aren't in audio. Therefore, that stack...

@MarkB I'm so glad to hear that you loved the book...and that you sent a copy to your sister. That is exactly what I hoped hunters would do (share it with others). YES, the shipping out of the country is HORRIBLE. Luckily, it's not too bad in the States using "media" mail...and on Amazon, it is...

Thanks for the feedback @Milo. I did worry that some people would not enjoy the sounds of the animals....but I was trying to make people feel like they were there on safari with me...especially people who have never been to Africa. I tried not to overdo it, but maybe I still did. Some people do...

Thanks @bakerb. I added these to my list as well.

YAY, thank you so much @Firebird! I appreciate the awesome picture with the book....and for resubmitting the review to Amazon. They are terrible about reviews...and (in my opinion) look for any reason to deny them. It means so much to me that you took the time to edit the picture and resubmit...

Thank you so much @Dewald. I've read some of the books on the list but many I have missed. I just listened to West with the Night and LOVED it! The scene about the lion encounter with the Morani is one of the best I've ever read....so far. I don't speak Afrikaans or German so those would be off...

Okay, that is what I thought. I just wasn’t sure how it worked. Thanks for explaining. Enjoy the book!

Thank you @Dewald. I'm piggybacking off this list you made for @Redheadkentuckian. Do you have them listed randomly...or in the order you enjoyed them? One thing for sure: my book list just grew BIG TIME! Thanks again. Sue

Awesome! Hoopla is in audio. Correct? I have the audiobook in a distributor service but honestly I don't know exactly how it all works. LOL. I hope you like the animal sounds. Happy listening! Sue

Hello, I also loved White Hunters and learned so much from it. Even though some people say that Peter Capstick embellished a lot, I still loved his book Death in the Long Grass. I also loved Ruark's Horn of the Hunter. Here are a few other ones that aren't necessarily all hunting but they offer...

Ahhh @PARA45, I'm so excited you are enjoying the book....thanks to @Rare Breed. It does look like your pups are pretty happy with the afternoon as well. Also, I LOVE that you sent a picture with the book. I really enjoy it when people do that. Your picture is the first with dogs AND a cigar...

May he rest in peace. I wish you success in getting his memoir republished. Sue

Thanks so much for the feedback @Inkgardener. I really appreciate it. I'm thrilled you enjoyed the audio and felt the emotion came through. When I was narrating it, it was like living it all over again. I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks lately. It is much easier to find the time to...

Even with all that I have seen of the antis, I am stunned. I don't even have words....

I think they WANTED the headline that way because they wanted people to read it. This is so maddening on so many levels.

Wow, HAPPY 50th Anniversary! That is wonderful and not something that many people get to celebrate these days. AND, yes, buying gifts seems to get harder and harder. I, myself, am LOVING audiobooks these days. I can listen while I'm on my walks, cleaning, doing dishes, driving, etc. They allow...

Oh my gosh @Hyde Hunter, you made my day on many levels. It's great knowing you were reading my book and loving it, that the doctor saw it and ordered it right away, and BEST OF ALL your wife is going to join you in Africa. That is so wonderful. I hope your wife's knee replacement goes well...

Awesome to see that your wife took the initiative and planned the whole thing. I'm so excited for you both. There is just nothing like the first time. Be prepared, though. You WILL want go back again and again. Happy adventures and happy hunting. Sue Tidwell

Welcome to AH. I'm sure there will be lots of input here for you. Happy hunting!. Sue

Such a loss. What a wonderful tribute. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. Sue

I’m hanging out at booth 2161 but will be gone today for a few hours for the sables luncheon. There are signed books there but if you want it more personalized, stop by after 2 today. The luncheon is from 10-2 but I’m going to try to sneak out early. Hope to see ya! Sue
