Read MoreOutdoors With Kevin Fox: Taking It Back To The Simplest Of Hunting
I parked the truck, and as soon as I had grabbed my gear, I knew it was going to be a good afternoon. I crept along carefully, placing one foot in front of the other in an effort not to spook the target of this hunt. As I neared a likely looking location, I could look ahead and see that the creatures had other ideas and were more concerned with mating than they were in me. Still, if I was careless, they would easily be spooked and just as quickly take off. Like all hunts, the closer I could get,…

But within a few page flips of my calendar, I’ll be hunting again— more than likely for the last time in South Africa. So I’m kind of filled with thoughts about that. There is a saying that I use a great deal for almost everything: “You don’t know what you don’t know.” We all have this deep-seated thought that we know things—or think we know things—that we really don’t. I’ve had fishing guides tell me straight out that…

The weatherman had said that last Wednesday, February 25, temperatures should reach sixty degrees. Either he was wrong or the forecast had changed since I last looked at it. But in order to get to sixty degrees, it had to reach fifty first. I was busy most of the day, but I had made a promise to myself that when I got home — before dark — I would make perhaps thirty casts into the pond in the backyard. While I still had time, I went to the garage where my rods and reels hang and grabbed the smallest combo…
