    Really considering NZ next year with the family...looking for guidance

    Thanks for the offer I will send you a PM! To say I’m excited to get over there is an understatement I can’t wait.

    Really considering NZ next year with the family...looking for guidance

    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)

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    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.

    Valid concern or paranoia?

    *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.

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    Son saved all of his casings from last year and this year. Brought home a piece of wood from Eastern Cape and got them all set up today.

    Best meat analog for pack training?

    on second thought, I'd likely not put dog food in my hunting pack because it tends to smell.

    Best meat analog for pack training?

    I was going to say bag of corn from your local farm store. But Dog Food, Water Softener salt or rice would all work well.

    Using Claude to build a book

    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.

    Using Claude to build a book

    Book will be 12"x12" we got one last year after the Africa trip for every family, but it was just pictures, no words.

    Using Claude to build a book

    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...

    Really considering NZ next year with the family...looking for guidance

    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...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    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!

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    You know I didn't keep the lower jaw, got a euro. Didn't even think about that.

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    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...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    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...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    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...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    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...

    I would have LOVED to see that drumstick on a rotisserie over coals!
