Sir Jerry,

I would love to hunt Africa again if I could do it with less of the sissy luxury stuff and coddling doled out to the princes of the world.
Elephant with a .458 Winchester Magnum would be the mustard on my biscuit.
But there is so much more in North America on the bucket list that I may not make it.
If I ever get shed of being caretaker to the elderly I am heading back to Alaska.
My first official duty when I reported there in 1985 was to go notify a family of the death of an Airman.
He died of hypothermia in 40*F rainy weather,
did the paradoxical undressing thing, was found naked on Naked Island where he was hunting deer.
Deer hunting where the brown bears live is always fun.
I would of course take good rain gear, and a .458 Winchester Magnum would be my deer rifle.
Solo for my third hunt on Kodiak would be the most fun possible with my pants on.
I once did a solo, fly-in caribou hunt for 5 days on the Alaska Peninsula in November, and flew home with 3 caribou.
I will not do the Timothy Treadwell trick until threatened with a nursing home.
