You have your chance. Invite Walter to go hunt with you, tell him he can bring his Blaser along, and he will jump on it. He is very upset with me because I have been stopping him taking it with us any more. Once was enough. Watching Walter trying to kill a wounded warthog with his Blaser was like like watching a man in a one man dinghy trying to fight a hurricane in the Bermuda Triangle!  | |||

Saeed, your photos always capture the best things about being on safari. We are immersed in nature, able to enjoy its mysteries and its beauty, firsthand. And we are able to play our rightful and natural role, and hunt big game, from the top of the food chain. For me, it's like going back in time.  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Mike, We all try to enjoy everything on our trip. We don’t go with a shopping list of animals to hunt. We do hunt hard, but we also enjoy everything around us. Our safari usually starts well before we get on the plane. | |||

Saeed, That is the best way to do it. No doubt about it. I just finished re-reading Philip Percival's memoirs, Hunting, Settling and Remembering. Among his memories were hunting with Theodore Roosevelt, Kermit Roosevelt, and Kermit's son (Theodore's grandson), and George Eastman (of Kodak fame and fortune), and the Duke of Connaught and Ernest Hemingway. He had interesting stories to tell about all of that. Interesting, and truly so, but never scurrilous. Never did Percival mention Eastman's, or Kermit's or Hemingway's suicides, or try to psycho-analyze them. He also partnered up for a while with Bror Blixen, and had interesting stories to tell about that, too. But never did he mention Blixen's many and public sins. It was clear to me, without Percival saying so, that for him, safari was a place where those things didn't matter, where all one did was hunt, and where hunting was everything and pure, and where people were allowed to be human, within those boundaries, and where confidences stayed private. I respect that. Philip Percival did not have a bad thing to say about anyone. He did not care. He regretted some things, however, and freely shared his regrets. Mostly, it seemed to me, he regretted when safaris became motorized, and when everyone and everything became hurried, and time became compressed. Now, we are pushed to cram into one or two or three weeks, what used to be spread over several months. There was a time when it took longer than an entire modern-day safari, start to finish, just to get to Africa! From Percival's memoirs, I got the sense that, in his later years, he missed the old-fashioned, and infinitely more relaxed safaris of his early days, more than he missed anything else in his hunting life. I never had one of those safaris, but I do feel the same way. Your photos capture that aspect of things. And all of that notwithstanding, you still manage to skewer Walter without mercy or respite, and meanwhile shoot a dozen buffalo!  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
