Featured Photo of the Month

IN 2003 my hearing impaired and chronically ill grandson was granted a wish by the earth angel foundation in Ohio. He traveled to New Mexico and was guided by the wonderful staff at 4 C outfitters.

And as you can see by the enclosed picture this is the end result a 6x7 trophy elk shot at 300 yds which scored a 368 B&C. He is now 15 and remains an avid hunter. He has killed numerous whitetails in Ohio and several wild turkeys. But his trip to New Mexico and the elk will never be forgotten and the friendship and bonds will always continue.This surely was a bull from heaven.

Leopard Hunt Close Encounter

Two years ago at the Central Ohio SCI Fund Raiser I purchased a 14 Day Leopard hunt with Gunther Heimstadt owner of Holstein Hunting Ranch in Outjo Namibia. Little did I know what an experience I would have on this hunt. On Sept. 15, 2006 my wife (Pam) and I started for Columbus , Ohio where we met up with our good friends Tom/Becky Pausche and Tony/Ann Gioffre, after enjoying a wonderful evening of great dinning and wine at Bravo's we called it an night for an early flight the next morning. As most flights to Africa go, it was hurry up and wait in this line and then run to the next, and then 23 hours later you arrive with great anticipation that the only bag you want to see is your hunting rifles/bow.

Upon arriving and getting settled in at the ranch, I was introduced to my PH who I would be hunting Leopard with. My PH was simply known as Donnie, a man who had spent 10 years in the Namibia/Angola war. Now that’s what I call protection. Donnie and I hit it off right from the start, he was very knowledgeable about Leopard and Leopard hunting. I insisted in helping to put bait out and spread the bait around the hunting area. To me getting involved in all the aspects of the hunt is what it's all about.

Once the baits where set, it was up to the Leopard to tell us where to build the blind. It didn’t take long after only a couple of days one bait produced a set of leopard tracks (7” across) and was minus several pounds of rotten springbok meat. This was getting exciting.
