England (March, 2024)….

Earlier in 2024, Mike and photographer-wife, Frances, spent a week hunting in the Southeastern English Counties of Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Bedfordshire. A wonderful trip led by Owner, Joe Croot of Royal Outfitters UK provided Mike with another two of his dream animals, Muntjac and Chinese Water Deer. Hunting involved walking for 5-9 miles every day, checking out huge agricultural fields where the Water Deer hung out, or dense copses in which the Muntjac sneaked like miniature Bushbucks and Whitetail deer.

Mike describes the trip’s adventures and how they relate to conservation efforts in a series of articles appearing later this year in Dallas Safari Club’s Game Trails and Member Stories from the Field and Safari Club International’s Safari Magazine.
