    I read the Vanity Fair article and enjoyed it. In there it seems he mentions a few countries in Africa where he was hunting but where was the Shelby game preserve? Was it in Central African Republic? If so was this during the reign of Emperor Bokassa?
    Anybody know how big the game preserve was?
    Shelby mentioned hunting elephants, what other game was stocked there?
    Why did the operation fold?
    I tried to find a big game hunter but they keep a low profile these days on account of the animal protectionist groups

    Curious in Cleveland...
