Doc, thanks for the stories. Although I set aside ample funds for a decent African hunt over fifteen years ago, it never happened. Life got in the way early on, and later on defects in heart valves robbed me of my ability to remain fit with any hope of enough stamina to hunt as you described.

Yes, I have been offered drive around and shoot Safaris, but I have no desire for that. I hunt deer and such with the aid of a Kawasaki Mule, and it is not the same. I end up usually just watching the game interact, kind of like your young bull elephant cousins.

Since I have settled into living my dream vicariously, your writing was most enjoyable from the perspective of a first time safari.

Thanks again,

Jack
