ivan carterAfrica with Craig Boddington
Hello people , some of you have asked about our new TV show …its called Africa with Craig Boddington and is aired on the sportsmans network …see this link .
…http://www.thesportsmanchannel.com/programming/descriptions/description.php?ID=240
What we have done is each week , Craig Boddington and I talk about one particular animal …or aspect of hunting Africa be it an Elephant, Sable , Kudu etc, we talk about all aspects of that animal, how to hunt them, where to hunt them , I contribute in giving a PH perspective on the hunt itself … while there are several kill shots through the programme… the main aim is for each episode to be very informative and with a lot of good solid hunting and planning information. We hope that you enjoy it !

L. David KeithIvan, best of luck with the show. It's about time someone brought education to the hunting industry. Thank you Craig and Ivan!
Cheers,
David
PS: We had outstanding success on Egyptian Geese, Knob-bill's and Spur wings in Zim recently. The PG and Leopard hunting was excellent as well.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. 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......

Saw the show this past week buff it was great.
One request and I have tried emailing Craig Boddington can't find a email address for him, he has stated in the past that hunting is a sport I beg to differ IT'S A WAY OF LIFE if you could please mention my thoughts to him thanks.
Bird shooting is outstanding really enjoyed a driven G. Fowl shoot a few years back.

US1 , I agree with you completely and i will certainly pass that on ... we are the lucky ones who are able to live that life , for most people a few weeks a year or a few weekends here and there is all they get ... we hope through the DVDs and Tv shows to bring to people who are passionate about Africa, great "real" hunting with a lot of great information. a lot goes into the shows as we constantly try and pack 20 pounds in a 5 pound bag limited as we are by time !!
the whole series will , in due course become a dvd series much like our dvd "Best of Tracks TV".
thanks for your support.

Kyler HamannShould be a great show.
Several months ago I had the extreme pleasure of hearing a presentation by Craig & Ivan about the Big 5. It was a very enjoyable tag-team approach. The amount of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm can't be matched by any other presenters.
Thanks Ivan. Keep up the great work.
Kyler
Ivan,
I saw the leopard episode today. The show is excellent. No offense, but I think it is much better than Tracks Across Africa. The show was very informative.
In the future episodes, are there any plans to include the "glamour game" Bongo, Lord Derby Eland and Mountain Nyala?
Once again, congratulations on a great show. I am sure it will be very successful.

Welcome back to Dallas Ivan.

ClintYou can get the sportsman channel online for $5/month if you're really interested.
Ivan,
This sounds like a great show. I’ve got the DVR set.
