Planning a Safari: Logistics, Preparation, and Crucial Skills

Recorded live and raw in the field, this episode takes us to Africa. In addition to lots of great hunting stories, we address safari research, logistics, planning, and prep with the help of my long-time hunting partner and world traveler Austin Brown. Plus, Namibian Professional Hunter Jacques Strauss of Kowas Hunting Safaris talks us through pre-hunt practice and skills crucial to success in the African bush. My kids Audrey (age 15) and William (age 13, our very own Backcountry Apprentice) get to experience the Dark Continent and hunt plains game for the first time. Plus my hunting pardner Austin Brown and I hunt leopard and for an elusive giant kudu bull. This is an account of the first half of our safari... including a once-in-many-lifetimes close daylight encounter with a big male leopard. ENJOY! FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!
