I am currently a Senior Geologist and the Geological Services Manager for a mid-size geotechnical and environmental consulting firm, where I specialize in abandoned mine lands assessment, naturally occurring hazardous substances (asbestos, arsenic, mercury), geological and geotechnical instrumentation, and construction geology (my peers hate me because I still get to go out and play in the field while they are chained to desks Razzer). I also have a small farm, am the current President of an International Geological Society, and occassionally sell a magazine article.

In past lives I have been paid to find oil and explore for sunken treasure Smiler.

I help hunter people make their dreams come true. Really! As a Hunting Outfitter and Professional Hunter I help hunters who had always dreamed of hunting in darkest Africa make their dreams come true. But this is my retirement job.

Retired as water purification expert(?) who at some time turned mine water systems manager and then became an environmental & general water treatment/management consultant.

Professional Hunter and Hunting Outfitter since 1974.

Enquire about any South African hunting directly from andrew@mclarensafaris.com


After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

I am an Anesthesiologist. I mostly do the anesthetics for open heart surgery. I hunt with some of the surgeons I work with, so there is always something to talk about. It makes long days a little more bearable. Alan.

Started out as an Army medic in 82nd ABN Div and 12th SFG, cross-trained in light weapons. After college flew fighters for the USAF and various ANG outfits, F-4 and F-16. Med school on the side, then worked as an ER doc in IL and AK. Got real sick, didn't croak like I was supposed to, switched to General Practice, moved to rural ID for the weather and the bird hunting. Started getting better, now I do some ballistics consulting on the side. Will likely be back in the USAR next year working in the forward element of an evac hospital. Will be patching kids up on the battlefield; how cool is that?

What a great bunch you are, and so much experience in so many areas…

I am a freelance university teacher and management consultant, about to finish my PhD in cognitive psychology (have gone the slow lane on that one). I am specializing in psychological models of decision making, planning and motivation, all in real-life settings.
I dabble in some other areas including philosophy of science and more general writing – it is fun but will not make me fatter (no need to get any fatter I admit Roll Eyes).

Ah, I am not a safari hunter yet so I guess my post is OT in this thread... Big Grin

Regards,
Marterius

For the last 30 years been flying airplanes mosly night frieght then about 1983, rather than buy stock in Microsoft, I get the great Idea that flying helicopters would be really great, flying them since. I support my hunting fishing and gun habbits by remaining single, no children or dependents. Now if I for gone the helicopters and bought the Microsoft Stock. Well money would not be an issue. But its been a great ride so far, I figuire another 17 more years of flying left.
