I remain hopeful that some miracle will occur and my August hunt in Zambia happens, but realistically I suspect it will be rolled over to next year.

The trophy barn I was planning for this summer is on hold until they let the construction thugs go back to work! But it will happen!

My taxidermist is backed up so I'm hoping he can get caught up and when the building is ready, the mounts will be waiting!

Then it will be another trip back to Namibia to hunt with some old friends or a trip to northern Tanz or maybe Uganda or Bots.

I'm 59 and healthy. Still a lot of places I want to go to and hunt. I refuse to let this annoying "bump in the road" decide my attitude.

As they say, "This too shall pass."
