Running a day behind now that I totally screwed up our actual departure date for our trip to South Africa and Uganda. I say "our" because Louise and Eva are with me on this trip, so I'm sure that they'll never let me forget about my little logistical snafu ... I try to tell them that when you're hunting internationally things like this happen, but, well, they're not buying it.

Anyway, we got all squared away again thanks to Kathi Klines at Wild Travel in Chicago. Even though I was a full day late for my flights, she got us all re-booked all the way to Port Elizabeth, South Africa where we'll meet up with our good friend and outfitter Russ Lovemore. We'll hunt a variety of game with Russ, and Eva will be hunting on camera for the first time for the TV show, so I'm looking forward to it.

Also in South Africa I'll be hunting again with Tam Safaris, this time for a black rhino which I hope to dart with an arrow from my Alpine bow. Did the hunt with them last year for white rhino and it was spectacular.

Then to Uganda with the professional Corey Knowlton where we'll be hunting Sesse Island sitatunga. Hunting this species was closed for 40 years and just re-opened. Only six have been taken by sport hunters before it was officially closed back in the 60's. I've got some of my new Stealth Cam SNIPER IR's coming over with Corey so that we can run surveillance at some of the machans that have been erected, to see which stands have the most action.

Can't wait! Stay tuned. I'll try not to miss my flights ...
