It was billed as the “Ultimate Hunting Adventure.” He had tracked elk on horseback through chest-deep snow, had weathered violent squalls off the coast of Nova Scotia for ocean fowl, had slogged through piranha-infested rivers for trophy arapaima. Organizers promised this excursion would be all that and more.
The final hunt location and quarry were kept secret. Participants were given instructions on what gear to bring and boarding passes for a private jet. His excitement was palpable.
“Are you game,” he was asked at check-in.
“I’m up for anything.”
“No, I meant are you prey or predator?”
