The plans for my first big-game hunting experience were hatched on a remote beach on Mexico’s Sea of Cortez. Curious readers may find this a rather unusual setting for an introduction to hunting. However, Mexico is my home, and sport fishing is my occupation. On this particular day one of my clients and I were sight-fishing the clear waters adjacent to the beach, toes in the sand, fly rods in hand. As we patiently waited for a fish to swim within range, the conversation drifted to archery hunting, a subject which I found fascinating, though quite foreign at the time. Apparently, my curiosity struck a chord, and resulted in a most unexpected invitation.
“You should get a bow. Learn to shoot... then come to South Africa to hunt with me...”
Not being one to allow such a generous offer to go unaccepted, I purchased my first compound bow that very night.
“You should get a bow. Learn to shoot...then come to South Africa to hunt with me...”
As luck would have it, this particular client happens to be the proprietor of an incredible hunting property in South Africa’s Karoo region, Sable Lodge
