Anatolian Red Stag in Turkey

Turkey has always been one of those mysterious places to me. I had never been to the Middle East, nor had I been to a predominantly Muslim country. I have to admit I was a little nervous. I was going to be hunting with my dad’s good friend, Kaan Karakaya, owner of Shikar Safaris. At least knowing whom I was going to be hunting with gave me some sense of comfort.
