I know I am truly behing the times but last eveningI veiw my newly aquired DVD of IN THe BLOOD.
I may be a weenie but I truly enjoyed it. This may be that I have just returned from Wyoming after a good season that ended with my wife and 12yrs old daughter taken ther 1st ever bucks on the same day. I am living the right of passage thing in our household. I was right there coaching the both of them and could not asked for a better experience. The wife took a good heavy 4x4 whitetail in the am. and that evening the daughter and I where on a stand a treeline where see took a wide 4x4 whitetail.

This is truly the life.

EO,

You are definitely not a weenie (or maybe we both are ). I truly love that film. George Butler did an incredibly good job with it (except in the DVD version, in the director's narration feature, he makes a couple of blunders--he refers to TR's Holland and Holland double as a "450/500 Nitro Express" instead of a 500/450 , and he says that TR IV's David Miller custom buffalo rifle is a ".270" instead of a .375 ).

Congratulations to you and your family on your trip, too. There's only one way to make sure that hunting stays "in the blood" of the next generation--and that's to take them along, as you did.

Where can I purchase a copy of In the Blood? I donated my tape to a local video store and when they closed up I lost track of the tape. Thanks Packy

Terry, thanks for the reference. This'll go under the tree for my son and I as we'll be in Namibia this summer for the first time. A good tune up.

I hunted with Webster "Webby" Kapaliswa, the young, black PH in Tanzania in 2001. He was one of the most endearing PH's/guides I have ever had the pleasure of hunting with. He still regularly emails me. He refers to me as his sister. The entire video and personnel were first class.

I use "In the Blood" to introduce non-hunters to hunting. They are always positively impressed.
