Dangerous game hunting is a larger-than-life hunting experience. It's the stuff of dreams and of nightmares, and it's perhaps the most inescapable part of African legerdemain that can still be lived and still experienced in all it's glory, here, now, and today in the 21st century, and it's one of the few remaining legitmate adventures left on this earth.

And for the hunting man who grew up reading the great writers of the past and present; from Baker, Pretorious and Selous to O'Connor, Page, Carmichel and Boddington, dangerous game hunting represents the ultimate possible adventure, period.

That's why I do it -- to live the adventures of legend for myself. And I do it because I'm vitally interested in the animals themselves, knowing that without the stewardship of hunters, such magnificent animals that, in and of themselves, bear witness to the fact that yes -- God the Creator DOES exist -- will not be able to survive long-term.

And when I'm an old man, too old to hunt anymore, I'll be able to pass on my old and new books of Africana to a younger generation, and I'll be able to point to various trophies in my personal collection and relate tales of my own, veryifying the timeless link between hunters old and new, and offering reassurance that the adventure and the tradition can still be lived, the dream can still be fulfilled and passed on..........
