African safari hunter Bill Adams recalls deadly chase in Africa
Metropolis tavern owner Bill Adams recounts a 40 day East African hunting trek from December to March inclining on rhinoceros and elephant trophies. Guided by Throm Hassan in Kenya, the expedition faced a near fatal elephant and a Cape buffalo charge. Adams plans future hunts in Africa or Sudan seeking a virgin hunting ground and Leopards, aided by a strong guide network.
