Bizarre Day of Hunting in Iran

Forced to Erase Video Footage in Iran

Everything is ancient, thousands of years old. We got into a little bit of a pickle and were forced to erase some of the video footage we made because apparently the people we filmed did not want to be TV stars in North America for whatever reason.

Great day today. They get up fairly late here, so we got up this morning when it was light. We had our breakfast of goat cheese, onions and some sort of flat bread. The bread is almost like a tile, but softer, but not by much. I stepped outside and looked

Up at five o'clock this morning and out the door by six. Minus 25 today when we got on stand. I knew it was going to be slow because there wasn't even a fresh deer track in the snow. We got on stand and were absolutely frozen like popcicles. We didnt see
