When things aren't going well-"I am about to have a sense of humour failure." Slang for spicy food-"Rajah"

The following comment is lifted from a Facebook (Africa Geographic) story linked to the NYT story. It shines a bright light on the mindset and lack of African conservation knowledge of the anti-hunting community. >>>>"Teach them to farm cattle , sheep & leave wildlife alone."<<<< I am literally...

You are correct. Mahoney is in Sports Afield. This is the one magazine that I keep. My personal favorite writer there is Kevin Robertson. Per "Game Changer"-I belong to an internet forum that attracts all sorts of political views. I always recommend Game Changer to anti's so we could have a...

The writings of Shane Mahoney are rife with the kind of stuff you are looking for. It is hard to keep all my magazines straight, but I think he writes for the Boone and Crockett magazine. One area of focus for him is North American Wildlife Model. I think he is out of Newfoundland. For some...

I have a question regarding who may have been along on the hunt. On these properties, is a Government Game Scout along? We had one with us all the time and have kind of been wondering where theirs may have been during all the activities.

In defense of the money going to the Oxford researchers-I think they are a credible group. This link is to an excellent article and video on how lion hunting conserves wildlife and habitat in the Bubye Conservancy. The Oxford Group apparently runs a satellite research unit at Bubye. A...

We all know what will happen when hunting (trophy or not) goes away. However, we also know that the other side will never admit it when the disaster happens. Worse yet, they will never even know it. They will be on the latest "Confederate Flag/Cecil" subject of the day.

Big 5>>> But I do find it interesting that because I am someone who came out to say I believe his announced position on the Hwange lion matter was ahead of the facts and therefore premature I am somehow a member of a girl's junior high school clique. <<< I apologize for getting a little pissy...

Jeez, I'm sorry I mentioned Ivan Carter. I am just not up on who is persona non grata in the PH community. You guys are more Clique than a girl's junior high class.

Per Ivan Carter>>Had one of the best statements I have yet seen-on his Facebook page. Encapsulates the views of the hunting community(and my own) as well as anything I have yet seen. Per the Obama Administration-Reported that they are now looking into it. I predict that this is going to give...

I ran across an interesting tidbit regarding collared lions in the area. In April 2014, a 7 Year old boy was killed in the Hwange area-3 Kms from the park by a "Collared" lion .http://www.sundaynews.co.zw/boy-7-killed-by-lion/ Just because our boy Cecil was wearing a collar does not mean that...

Second you on Matetsi 1-was there in June 2013 and literally lost track of how many herds we saw. Obviously, there was probably some overlap-but still pretty awesome. Was told that there were 2 permanent herds in Matetsi 1 and the rest were floaters.

My #1 choice would be the trophy whitetail buck that I shot on my own land (Minnesota) in 2008. The dream #2 choice would Lord Derby Eland-with a nice roan following close behind. I saw a herd of roan in Zimbabwe and fell in love-I loved watching them. Of the trophies from my 2013 Zim...

From the article>>>"At a time when academic degrees were deemed less important than common sense, bush craft and determination,"<<<< How much better off the world would be if that were still the case.

I think this encapsulates what we all know/believe and probably deserves a wider distribution. I found it in a comment thread by "Gosh1" on Africa Geographic in the story on Ian Gibson's death. I haven't read all the 2000 plus comments there, but there is some good stuff there and it even...
