Hunting Poachers mission (Aug 2010)

28 August 2010

Dale and I have just returned from our latest rECOn mission Hunting Poachers which ran from August 15th to the 20th.  This time we were joined by cameraman Ed Wardle whom was filming our operation for consideration to produce a series for Animal Planet.

Ed had expectations but he expressed they were exceeded by what he saw and now is a firm believer in what Dale and I do as we hunt and film some of the the worst of humans.

I learned to read the TV Guide just to watch for these...

From ‘Trilobite’ to ‘Great White’Download article as PDF

As I drove into Pasadena California at the invitation of a retired Radiologist my imagination soared with images of a reportedly ‘beautiful and intact sub’ for sale. He told me he was going to donate it to a good cause... and I needed a sub for UVP desperately.

As I pulled up to the house the pristine nature of the 1970‘s upper-class neighborhood and lawn gave me hope for what was stored in the back yard. The good doctor...
