We're back in North America. Got Todd out of the hospital a couple of days ago. He won't be going to Africa because they're going to keep him under observation for a couple more weeks. He looks fine, though. The plastic surgeon did such a good job with the scars, you can barely see them.
Cameraman Todd Bissenden shortly after his 60-foot fall in Peru. His recovery is going well.
That whitetail hunt in Peru is the toughest whitetail hunt on the planet. I hunted only for two days, saw a couple small spikers and forkhorns, but that was about it. Never did get one.
Whitetail hunting in the Andes Mountains ... toughest whitetail hunt on the planet!
Back in Lima we went out to dinner with all of the top honchos at SCI's new Peru chapter. Also met with the Peru Minister of Agriculture, Rafael Rey, that was really cool in his office there. Had a big fancy dinner then had to run. Back in the saddle for a couple of days and then off to Africa again!
Here are some more pictures from Peru ....
My capybara from the Amazon region of Peru ...
Louise and I at Machu Pichu, one of the seven wonders of the world.
Terraces of the ancient Inca civilizations in Peru.
Might look like domestic cattle, but the feral bulls of Peru are WILD as wild can be. Super spooky and difficult to stalk. Mean-spirited, too ...
Home From Peru, Todd Improving!

what adventure that was. Glad that Todd is doing better and not any worse than it could have been. My Fimaly and I pray for him and your family each day. I can just about feel what you went thru being there and watching this unfold. Jim thank you and your family for being true People. Enjoy your life to the fullest. The group i hunt with have the same views or it seems as you do. There is nothing better than the comaraderie we share and the great times. One Hunting partner of mine told me after years of hunting with him that if he ever shot a Elk would probley kill him. He could not get around due to a very bad knee. over the years i tried to get him into elk, he had them close and could see them. I was unable to go with him on opening day, he was camped with others. Well that morning he killed his first bull. And had a massive heart attack and died with a big smile on his face. I was a Deputy Sheriff and was the one to bring him out of the woods. I will forever remember that day. His Wife had me take care of that elk and it was shoulder mounted and she still has it. On never knows. Tank you Jim and all your family for being the person you are and bringing it to life. Every one of your programs or stories i watch or read I feel i am there with you. You are the type of person I hope i am Thanks so very much for all the adventure you bring joe |
We all have prayers going out for Todd
WilliamWe hope he has a speedy recovery!
