Ummm, yeah! I personally know a Phd in Education and it really is "call me doctor". I also know a medical doctor (not PHD) and a Phd in high energy physics and none of them want to be called "Doctor", they prefer "Bob".

And I'm also nearby. There is a Dallas Safari Club chapter in Nacogdoches if you're interested in attending.

My dad was a veterinarian. When pet owners (dogs and cats) brought their animals in for shots, he'd have the owners hold the animal. They always told him that the animal doesn't bite and were always surprised when they got bit.

It's been awhile since I've been to Africa and am not up on everything I should be. So how do I contact Conservation Force? I'd love to hunt Botswana and since elephants are now importable, I want to start looking into this.

Did I miss something? I wasn't aware that an elephant (or any part of one) could be imported into the US. Granted, it's been a few years since I looked into doing so seriously. If things have opened up .....

I was raised in 2019 at lodge #473 in Texas.

I've had a couple of opportunities to take a zebra and have passed each time. I would get a lot of grief from family and friends if i did, and there is an "up close and personal" farm with several zebras on it and the neighbor's kids would think that's where I got the one on the wall. I'm...

Welcome, I'm in Houston county. There is the East Texas Sportsman's Club in Nacogdoches if you're interested in something like that.

We were told to bring a raincoat when we went there. After our trip thru the park we decided that a raincoat was not necessary, you were going to get soaked whether you wore it or not. We've seen many water falls in the US (but not Niagara) and Victoria is definitely different, it is worth the...

I received a check for a large amount and took it into the bank. I talked to them and they were going to "release" the funds in a week. I wanted to know when the funds would really be in the bank and in my account before I released my part of the contract. The bank said about 60 business days. I...

What happens to the client when this happens? Hopefully there are consequences other than just sending them home.

I heard of one company that on pay day had everyone line up and and go thru a line for their pay. The first person handed them their entire paycheck in cash. Then they had to go to the next person who took income tax (the employee had to pay them from the money they'd just received), next person...

What happens if the PCR test comes back positive? I assume you're not allowed on the plane? At that point does the trip insurance refund all the expenses? Or just 75% or what happens then?

I live halfway between Houston and Dallas. I saw 0.0* F in the morning during this storm and I'm just now beginning to receive damage reports from friends. First, as you know 0* is very unusual as is the 6" of snow that sticks around for several days. There is still snow on the roads (we don't...

I think it is best to be careful wherever you go. Africa requires some precautions. However, the question could also be asked as: "Do you feel safe traveling to the USA? Especially with the riots in various cities including the capitol." I had a conversation with a fellow i know in Uganda when...
