They were served in little chunks on a toothpick with a piece of cheese and a gherkin. The next day I was not feeling great, and my stepmother and I both threw up. I'm not sure that the testicles were the cause, but I tend to think so. What's your take on the camo thing? It seems as though it's everywhere and on everything. Even lingerie! Has the trend reached a saturation point? I think camo serves a valuable purpose on some hunts. On bowhunts, for example, it is critical to be as close to invisible as possible. Most spot-and-stalk hunts with a rifle can be done in camo or khaki, or even black, with very little difference. Camo looks cool and people like it, so it has its place. What projects do you have in the works? I just filmed an episode for Dead Dog Walking on the Sportsman's Channel, so keep an eye out for that! I'm off to New Mexico in October with tags for elk and mule deer, and in November I'm headed to France to do a horseback hunt for Pyrenees chamois. Both of those hunts will be on Petersen's Hunting Adventures on the Sportsman's Channel. This year I have joined forces with World of Hunting Adventure as a Hunting Consultant so I can use all my experience to help plan hunts for people. n for a different country, and some are more complicated than others. I used to always do my paperwork myself, and there were times when I didn't do it perfectly. Fortunately, the screw-ups were never too bad and were fixed without incident. One time my dad and I were hunting in Zimbabwe and we had taken a charter flight into camp. We were at the opposite side of the country from the international airport. When the time came to get on our charter flight to go back to town, the fog rolled in and the pilot said he was unable to fly. The outfitter had other hunters in camp and couldn't leave, but he gave us a Land Rover, and off we went on the most terrifying drive of my life. Now it is important to note that my dad admittedly is not the best driver in the U.S., but on the wrong side of the road, driving a manual, it was downright dangerous. We had to drive through the night since our flight was the following morning. It was a terribly long and dark drive. At this time Zimbabwe had just cut about three zeros off their currency and were looking for a bunch of missing money, so every couple hours we would be stopped. We were held at gunpoint and all our belongings were searched. They checked our passports, our guns, and our permits. It was scary every time, but fortunately they let us go and we continued down the unlit and broken road. There would be semi- trucks heading toward us on the opposite side with no lights and a doublewide house Brittany killed this wolf in Macedonia using night vision optics. Wolves in the country are killing large numbers of livestock. on the back. We were pushed into the dirt several times. My poor dad kept it together and got us into Harari safely, but man, were our nerves shot. Another incident . . . I was hunting in Namibia around 2005. It was one of my first trips over there, and we were staying in the mountains. My tent was on the opposite side of camp from the rest of the group since I was the only girl. One night I was dead asleep and a sound woke me up. I heard something coming toward my tent. I could hear breathing and footsteps. It sounded like a big animal, so I listened closely. I had been warned that there were lions in the area, so I immediately thought it was a lion. I was sitting up in my cot listening intently when all of a sudden the whole tent rocked. Something had tripped on the tent strings. I grabbed a Ziploc that was lying next to the bed and started waving it back and forth. It made a nice loud noise, and whatever it was took off running. The next morning I told the rest of the camp what had happened and that I was sure it was a lion. They went to check the tracks and started laughing. The midnight terror was caused by Homer . . . a pet cow that they had up there. I slept better after that. What's the most bizarre thing you've ever eaten while in the field or in another country? They cooked up the testicles of the buffalo I shot in Zimbabwe. When we ate them, we had no idea they were testicles, and they
