Why do I Hunt?
I love hunting because...

Donated Hunt Considerations
As we go into the Fundraiser season, it is perhaps timely to review a few considerations about donated hunts.

Nyala Safari In An Ancient Land by Bob Keagy
I dutifully got my shooting sticks in place. It was a 100-yard shot, roughly 45 degrees uphill. Additionally, I would have to skim - and not hit - the edge of the tree in order to slip the .340 into the nyala's brisket and heart... I had a good sight pict

Jumbo Surprise by Bob Keagy
My good friend Mike Murray of African Filds Sports called me and said: "Bob! Bob! I've got a concellation on opening day in one of the best elephant concessions in Botswana! I know you'll get a big ellie!"

After Linebacker Leopard in Botswana by Bob Keagy
A twig snaped out of our blind. It seemed inordinately loud in the otherwise silent landscape. Mike slowly and silently raised his binocular. He then turn to me and pantomimed something walking with his fingers. Leopard! I didn't move.

Hunting Marco Polo's Ram by Bob Keagy
Amoung the rams, the third one had tops that curved out and flared downward. Suddenly, the sun broke through for a second and fell on the third ram as if to single it out. It surely appeared to be the biggest, but I looked to Maryanbek for guidance. He ju

With a Longbow in Mozambique by Mel Toponce
After a time, sharp-eyed PH Dion pointed excitedly beside the road, and we got out of the vehicle. I peered where Dion was pointing, but saw nothing. Together, we entered the dense undergrowth with great stealth and inched forward while looking for the..

Fourty-Four Days in Africa by Bob Keagy

Three Strikes and Still In the Game
We had an amazing 180-plus ram at 72 yards and were feeling like the trophy was in the bag. But, anyone that has hunted with black powder knows that this is not always the case. To make a long story short, we missed twice and watched the awesome ram leav

Buckey, me and a wrangler: Tales of an Alaskan Dall Sheep Hunt
You could tell that he was in a hurry. He was making his way from one mountain range to another, crossing through the valley floor always aware of his surroundings, as it is here that sheep are most vulnerable to wolves and other predators. In no time he

China Gold by Bob Keagy
There, standing in the shadows under the lip of the canyon on the far side, stood an adult takin. As it observed us with bovine calm, I took Tiger's backpack and laid it on a stump in the behind of the trail. I asked him if the takin was a good one. It wa

It Is Time to Join SCI by WARD JONES, II
I cannot count the number of times in the last 15 years that I have been asked, â€œWhy join Safari Club? Why join the local Chapter?â€ Iâ€™ve developed some short and concise answers, some that I think have been pretty effective. However, th

Perpetuating Hunter Tradition by Randall Eaton
I spoke about a program for delinquent boys who had to survive in the wilderness for two weeks on whatever they could catch or kill, the most successful program to date ever launched for troubled teens.

Fantastic Fishing at Frontier Fishing Lodge
Having been involved in the chapter fundraiser for many years, I often get asked "What is your favorite destination?". People expect that I will mention some exotic location in Mongolia or Africa, and are always seemingly a bit surprised when I mention Fr
