A bit of of mid- game analysis.
1. That life sized Buffalo target is not nearly as clear as the real thing. My version, anyways, does not have good resolution around the shoulder, so when I was practicing with it I was trying to figure out other landmarks I could use to judge the point of aim...
Day 2 pm
We went back out around 2:30. It was hot! We spent a lot of time on reconnaissance. We eventually settled for a lone track that was heading uphill from where we got to. We only went in about 20 or 30 yards when we heard the bull running off from behind a dense growth. We were pretty...

The area is called Klaserie, and the property abuts Kruger. Everything looks so lush. We went for a game drive and...
My son and I took Ethiopian Airlines from Pearson to Addis Ababa. I like this route, because Ethiopian has a moderately priced Business Class. It’s not the most lux, but it gives you lots of room and lay down seats. The staff are very friendly. The food is excellent if you only consider the...
