How does a 19-year-old bank teller from Kansas end up in the African bush working as a Professional Hunter ?
In 2008, with little more than the clothes on his back, Adam Parkison set off for a 7,000-mile journey to the heart of Africa. What was intended to be a short visit, turned into five years of adventure in a little-known country called the Central African Republic. In these short stories, the author takes readers on a journey deep in the tropical forest mosaics of the Chinko basin, following wounded buffalo, outwitting a menacing leopard, tracking down rumors of cryptid creatures, encountering venomous snakes, fleeing from bush fires, surviving deadly illnesses, and more. At times brutally honest and self-deprecating, these stories paint the picture of a rookie Professional Hunter as he navigates a challenging and dangerous career in the wilds of Africa.
