Safari Adventures of a Neophyte Hunter – Conclusion
On Tuesday the 31st, after 9 full days of hunting, it was time to begin our journey home. The previous 10 days had been an amazing experience. I had done something that I never imagined I would do. Not just hunting, but on an actual Safari in South Africa! There were so many new experiences…some [...]
Safari Adventures of a Neophyte Hunter – Part II
Given the missteps of the prior 3 days, you could imagine my surprise when Innes turned to me early on Day 4, pointed to a Steenbuck, and asked if I wanted to shoot it. “Sure!” I said. A small target that seemed to rarely stand still, and that looks like Bambi, except cuter…what could be [...]
Safari Adventures of a Neophyte Hunter – Part I
As Clif was quick to remind me, almost daily, unfortunately…it is called Hunting. Not shopping. ================================================================== To start…some basic details, as I’m sure even the general framework of an African Hunting Safari is foreign to many, as it was to me. Our Safari involved 9 days of hunting in the Limpopo province of South Africa. [...]
Adventures of a Neophyte Hunter – Intro
Note: The following several posts recount my experiences and thoughts during my recent African Safari.

UPDATED: 10 days in Ukraine (Euro 2012)
And now for something completely different… On a June 6th update I mentioned an out-of-country excursion that I was about to take. Having returned and recovered, I thought I’d share a few thoughts on the experience. My good friend Clif and I spent 10 days in Ukraine, attending soccer matches for the Euro 2012 tournament. [...]
April 10th – Slow Songs now available!
All – I’ve now uploaded the four “Slow” songs for your listening and review. The slow song “group” was originally a bit bigger, but the other few songs simply weren’t ready for even nominal consideration.
