How I would love to figure out a way to make a living hunting man-eaters around the world. I cherish my freelance hunting and fishing and writing career, but targeting man-eaters is like no other hunt. The focus, the rush, the zero room for error…it puts you in a place no words can describe. The encounters will leave you sleepless for days, not from fear or doubt, but from the surge of adrenaline. Sometimes it comes in a millisecond burst…sometimes it carries on for hours.

Here are a few stories on encounters I’ve had.

This one is a hunt for man-eating lions in South Africa, in June, 1993
