This is the hunting Safari I took in Zimbabwe in 2024. It is one hour and forty minutes long, professionally filmed and edited. It was an exceptional Safari. Not only did I get an Elephant and a Cape buffalo, but also a huge Chobe Bushbuck, an exceptional Kudu, two better than average Impalas, a beautiful Burchell's Zebra, and a Spotted Hyena. I hunted old school by tracking, and used old school guns. A 1910 W.J. Jeffery Double in the caliber .475 No. 2 Jeffery for the Elephant and Buffalo, and a 1914 Holland & Holland bolt action rifle in .375 H&H which I brought both as a backup for the double and as my plains game gun. Some of the meat from the animals I shot certainly fed myself and the entire staff, with the remainder going to local, protein starved villages. The fees hunters pay provide jobs as well as fund the majority of the conservation efforts, the most impactful being the anti-poaching units. Without them the wildlife of Zimbabwe (and most other African countries) would be decimated in just a few short years. Zimbabwe is one of my favorite countries and the people are without a doubt the friendliest I've met anywhere in the world. This was my second time hunting Zimbabwe, and I will be back. It's a great country to visit.

This was my introduction to Tundra High Benching in Alaska with a Bush Plane. Something I eventually did on most flights. I was certainly always on the lookout for places like these.

This was the final day of my introduction to Alaska flying. Absolutely the most rewarding flying there is.

This was my introduction to flying glaciers. Later it would become a common thing. But for a boy from the United States this was incredible to experience for the first time. And yes, I know Alaska is part of the U.S., but no, it's not really.

I received an introduction to Alaska flying with a friend. I had just purchased a place in Alaska.

Like the title says I was scouting news areas to play.

It rained 40 days and 40 night flooding the lakes and rivers, but I still found one place to play

This baby moose somehow lost its mother. So we made sure there was always water out front. It stayed with us the entire summer, at times coming to the window and looking in at us. Of course we never attempted to approach it. Just made sure it always had water. We called it Eeyore.

This was shot at a private boat show. These two boats have just been built and hadn't yet been delivered to their owners.

Needed a predator call on a hunt and couldn't find one. Came across a pink bicycle horn. Ripped the bulb off, blew in it, and wow. I've taken this all over the world and called in Coyotes, Bobcats, Foxes, Hawks, Owls. Lynx and Wolves.

First introduction to this type of flying. It would become a common thing my friend and I did.

Aerial views of a backcountry runway my friends and I built on an island in a Texas lake.

Beaver departs, Rainbows caught that day, Beaver arrives to pick us up,
