This story involved all the senses; from the striking photo of the zebra to the descriptions of roasting meat, sunsets, long yellow grass, sensory overload, fragrant burning wood, cold beer, savory food, and starlight. The author had quite an adventure.

Superb by: Gary Peters
This is an excellent story. I have not hunted for many years now. Stephen's story stirred up the old hunter in me though. He does an great job of showing the many facets of a hunt in today's overly complex world. I like his mixture of providing sound practical hunting information along with reflective thought.

Man, I've got my own stuff to tell, but this story just tops it off. Everything you wrote made me feel like a Kalahari Bushmen (that means it was real good). I've got a big buffalo head in my bedroom, I'll bet someone like you has something just the same. If you win this trip, you should definitely get an elephant head to hang right over your bed, asssuming you have the money to pay for an elephant. It'd be hard to sneak an elephant head back to America, at least from my experience. You know, grape Fanta is really the way to go. Most of your story I can pretty much relate to, even in an obscure way. But that's not the only reason it was so good; this story was definitely the greatest I've ever heard.

Vivid description! by: Eric
Stephan's description of the Namibian desert and animals is great. For a seasoned hunter, this trip would be a dream vacation. And it sounds like relaxing afterwards is just as much fun as the hunt!

Great Story! by: Kristine
The descriptions are fantastic. Steve is really knowledgeable about more than just his hunt he knows the geography, the plants, animals, and how to make you feel that you are there. I wish I could see it for myself. I can't wait for your next story.

Adventure without unwanted stress. It sounds like Namibia is pretty friendly. The people are reasonable. Weather great. Scenery exotic. Hunting great!

Not only was the narrative of the hunt itself detailed and well crafted, but the description of the desert terrain and life was informative and awe inspiring. I can understand why Stephan is planning to go back.
