Do in between hunts? Plan more hunting! Besides that? I'm a consultant water treatment and environmental management scientific adviser. Right now most of my time is spent on designing and planning the implementation of an integrated environmental monitoring program for the project team involved with the remediation of an ultra-nutrient enriched dam, the world famous Hartebeespoort Dam.

My time for this, plus hopefully a wolf's howl also, is soon comming. I'm off to Alaska in 10 days' time. Would like to meet up with AR members in Anchorage on evening of 21 August, or alternatively 30 & 31 August, or day of 10 September 2007. My flight out is only at 22.00 on 10 September. PM if interested. In good hunting. Andrew McLaren. | |||

I am always planning a hunt but when not hunting I try to pay the bills in numerous ways. My 'paying' job is working for the State of Vermont as a criminalist. I also farm, I do organic eggs and this year obtained my first commercial account. And lastly, I run my own small booking agency. I don't think the last one has provided much income but it allows me to share good hunting venues with people from all over! ~Ann | |||

I enjoy having two great daughters, one, alas, I take to college on Friday. This week, I'll go 30 minutes south and snoop around 1115's woods for a hog in preperation for my hunt in the Selous and pop some caps on my doubles.

Well gentlemen, once you reach the age of majority, some of the health problems I presently enjoy, and the fixed income becomes a concern, the serious hunting, comes very infrequently. SO! The short local hunts, for American game become the focus more, and more. Still, my heart is buried deep in the red soil of southern Africa! like most, in their 70s, I have a large family of many generations, and spend a lot of time with my grand kids, and great grand kids. In fact, I just returned home last night from my Grand daughter's wedding, and visiting with about 50 of my relatives, some I hadn't seen in years. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

I write about hunting and produce hunt journals for clients. I don't have much money and probably never will have, but I lead a fantastic life! I get to live each hunt twice, if you like. Problem is balancing time spent hunting and time spent writing - I tend to do a little too much hunting! Wonder why? Dave | |||

We help people punch holes in the ground. If they find oil and gas maybe they punch more holes. Whether they find it or not, we get paid the same. | |||

I own a metal detecting business (hobby, professional and security equipment) and returned to the Hunting Consultant/Booking business last year. I retired from the Taxidermy/Hunting Consultant trade some years ago, but missed the hunting consultant side of the business so much I started my Gray Ghost Safaris company to mainly focus on Africa, although I do have friends in the States who run hunting operations. My past clients hunted with Dave Joubert and Geoff Broom in Zimbabwe back in the 70's and early 80's. I try to fit in saltwater fishing in our Gulf Coast a couple of times a year and a little Bass and Trout fishing here at home. My hobbies are collecting Civil War relics and prehistoric artifacts (arrowheads). Other than hunting big game, I hunt waterfowl anywhere I can find them, and I'm looking forward to meeting and hunting birds with our own Juan Pozzi down in Argentina in the near future. I would say hunting Africa is the apex of my hunting life style and can't wait to get back.

'Sold Truck Equipment, Bucket Trucks, and Digger Derricks in a family business to power companies, electrical contractors, municipalities, states and gov't agencies in TX, NM, LA, and OK until we sold the whole kit and caboodle to our major vendor. Hard to do emotionally; slam-dunk decision finacially. Now trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up (before I die). This is a great thread and it is very humbling to read the common "thread" that makes us "African Hunters" and stretches from ladies, grandfathers that have walked for years in the African bush to gentlemen and that are carefully planning their first trip. Good hunting, best wishes and God bless to all. | |||

When I am not hunting, I am booking hunts or guiding hunts. Mostly these days I rope, rope and rope...I rope steers (team rope) with my 15 year old grandson, my 12 year old granddaughter, my daughter, my son in law. That is what I love most about life today, being able to do about whatever I please, but it took a lot of years to get to that point... Tonight I won $160.00 roping so I am on the road to success and fame, now to win another $60 or $70,000 and I will be almost even! I also need to get to be real good friends with LEDVM who posts here, I see that he is an equine surgeon, maybe someday trade him a hunt for saving Mojo my good horse!!
