Dark? You think you know dark? Dark is when you are waiting for your guide to pick you up; listening to the late summer/early fall night sounds when suddenly bait pile logs get knocked ‘cattywhumpus’, well, ‘bearywhumpus’ is more like it, and you’re in a ground blind, not far enough away.

It’s night sounds. Subtle changes in the weather bring about changes; amongst my favorites are the changing night sounds. Fall is about to be upon us, hunting seasons are coming. Time to get ready. Whatever you hunt, and however you hunt, half of the fun is prepping for the season.

My oldest son, Ira, called. “Hey Dad, I think you and Chris (his son) should go to Africa with me.”
Ira was the winning bidder for a ‘Plains Game’ safari donated to his local Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation fundraising banquet. Donated by Stompiesland Safaris, the hunt presented a unique opportunity for the three of us. An African hunt has been for years on Ira’s ‘Gotta Do’ list. Here was his chance. How could I say, no?

Of course I remember, it was red. It was red and even then I knew it was big medicine. Not only that, I was with my father. We’d go over to a neighbor’s house, easily done as the big backyards ran into one another, where bales of straw had been set up against the wall of a large barn.
Talk about special! My presence was not only tolerated but encouraged. We were shooting our bows, real bows! And I got to shoot with the grown-ups.
