    I’m not sure if I’m posting this article correctly but the above link is the response to the lies told in the article listed below, crucifying a British trophy hunter and his family.

    So exciting! I just received this Amazon review from an Anti-hunter!

    THIS is WHY I wrote Cries of the Savanna! While I am thrilled that hunters like the book, my entire goal was to take non-hunters and/or anti-hunters on a grand adventure that would expose them to the truth of conservation in Africa. I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to learn that the book...

    "Nature Crime: Animal Rights and the Fate of Africa's Wildlife" by Glen Martin

    Game Changer is not an exciting hunting adventure or anything like that, but it is a great book that makes an excellent case for why the “disneyization” of wildlife will lead to its downfall. It’s well worth the read, especially for anyone in your life who is opposed to hunting. In the book...

Rick got out his spotting scope and, sure enough, 5 blackish gray wolves were laying in the field about his Mom’s cattle pasture….1 ½...

    Hi Everyone! I'm Sue from Idaho..and hopelessly addicted to Africa!

    Several years ago, I “reluctantly” accompanied my husband on a big game hunting safari in remote Tanzania. The adventure literally changed my life! Listening to the haunting cries of lions and hyenas outside our tent was terrifying. Let’s just say the single cot my husband was sleeping on got...
