    Only one outfitter operates there, I’m not sure of the status with Americans at the moment. I don’t think Chad is granting visas.

    Thanks @buck wild I’m glad you enjoyed it. There is only one hunting area open in the country. The livestock should not be there but are property is nomadic herdsmen that move in and out. We won’t be at San Antonio TTHA but my son did Houston and we will be in Ft. Worth.

    Day 8 I woke with first light while Jordan and Deb slept in a bit. I took them coffee and got ready for the day. The plan for me is to go back to the same waterhole as last night since there has been a lot of Zebra activity there. I overdid it the first half of the hunt and my bad knee is...
