Greetings gentlemen (and ladies)! My name is Caedmon. I am a young (and admittedly amateur) enthusiast in the world of big game hunting.
I have hunted all my life, growing up under the tutelage of the greatest man I ever hope to have the privilege of knowing (my father).
My interest in international trophy hunting was spurred on at a young age by a friend of my father's who had been heavily involved in Safari Club International for decades. Because of his influence, my father was also a member of SCI and we constantly received their publications, which I devoured voraciously from age 4-5 onwards.
I grew being taught that not only hunting in general, but sport/trophy hunting in particular was a highly noble endeavor, and I believe this more fervently than ever.
I hope to be able to learn much from the fine folks on this forum and to be able to share many great experiences and conversations in the future. Thank you and God bless.
