Re: What three-dozen-elk-cartridges-taught me

He has real experience hunting elk. Not just a gun writer that relies on an outfitter to hold his hand and show him an elk.




HE has real experiences hunting many game---I know he doesnt appeal to everyone..but one can not deny his experiences and accomplishments.. I have read his work for over 25 years..really enjoy reading pretty much everything he does..

I first met Craig in 2004 at the DSC show..he used a print of one of my best friends DAN SMITH for this book on cape buffalo..I was helping Dan a bit at the show and we went over to visit with him..at that time I picked his brain on lion hunts..as the years past I would continue to visit with him and eventually went with his suggestion. Hunted lion with the late Ian Gibson in 2008 in Zimbabwe...had one of the most incredible hunts of my lifetime..

Craig, to my knowledge has been on over 100 African Safari's --other than a PH in Africa, not sure anyone is around with that kind of experience..One of my larger regrets of the past few years is I was invited on a hunt with him to Argentina..lot of things going on in my life at that time so couldn't do it..really wish I had done it...
