I won a stag/turkey hunt near Queenstown for next August! Plan on taking the family and extending it into an adventure. So excited to get some exposure for this first trip and not have to worry about taking my own gun (will take my bow).
"won" = won an auction (an SCI banquet)
Likely something like there are now cameras everywhere hooked up to a centralized system with massive AI power behind them to identify you and track your every move. If you can't think of the issues with Government having access to that then maybe, to you, there isn't a problem.
*removed what read like a personal attack* "if your doing nothign wrong it shouldn't make you worried" is just not the correct way to look at this one.
forgot to mention. I had it create QR codes for videos I had made and posted so can take the phone camera and get directly to the video from several of the story pages.
Yesterday I went down a vast rabbit hole asking Claude (AI) to review my Africa thread and build an outline, suggested flow and page breakdown for a book. I then uploaded quality pictures and went through page by page and had it create 99 sequential png files at 3kx3k resolution. I took the...
Just returned from Africa for the 2nd year in a row and I can't wait for our next international hunting trip. I am really thinking about NZ but most of what I see is high fence stags and I already have a really big stag. I'd rather have a smaller public land stag, tahr, fallow if possible. I...
I had given up hope on seeing her again, but I knew every PH and Hunter on the property was looking. I think he knew when he asked me which group she was with. What can I say I’m a lucky duck!
Here's my attempt at wrapping up the trip.
As far as terrain, I didn't have much of an idea what to expect going in, but it was different than last year. Bushes were green, plenty of water, tall bush, rolling hills good for glassing — pretty much the whole trip, one consistent landscape. If I...
Back to Port Elizabeth:
Up early Saturday for the drive out. Same mountain pass, same baboons and vervet monkeys along the road — still strange seeing monkeys instead of raccoons.
Two nights back at Summerstrand to decompress before the flights home. Hit the boardwalk mall and killed time...
Last day at camp:
Rained most of the morning, so we slept in instead of forcing a hunt in it. Wasn't even supposed to be a hunting day, but around lunch one of the other PH's clients didn't want to go out, so he grabbed me instead and we went looking for a wildebeest with a broken leg — not one...
I had one round that was unsuccessful. Going to try it again, I know some guys who are cured after the accupuncture. I'm not giving up on red meat. My Dad got it at the same time I did and he can freely eat wild game. Can't eat any beef or even farm raised bison, but eats all the coues...
