The Trophy Feeds A Village!
The Monday following the SCI Convention Nathan will be taking a 13 hour overnight flight from Los Angeles to Brisbane Australia and then on to Wewak, Papua New Guinea for an Asiatic Water Buffalo hunt. Award winning, Jereme Thaxton, a veteran wildlife videographer, will join Nathan to capture the sights, sounds, and thrill of this unique opportunity on HD video for an upcoming episode of "Destination Xtreme"
With about 7 million residents, Papua New Guinea is in the Oceania ocean and a short plane ride from Brisbane, Australia. After a brief stay in Wewak, the team will travel about two hours by jeep to the camp.
Much of the country is mountainous and covered in tropical rainforests. The highest point of Papua New Guinea is Mount Wilhelm at 14,793 ft (4,509 m). Due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, Papua New Guinea has several volcanoes and is prone to earthquakes and tsunamis. It's most active volcano, Rabaul caldera, is situated on the island of New Britain, and as of March 2013 is engaged in an eruptive phase that began in January 2013.
