Welcome Mzee We look forward to gaining through the wealth of knowledge you have at your disposal to share with us. We seldom get to choose But I've seen them go both ways And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory Than to slowly rot away! | |||

Hi Harry, one of my fondest memories is having a few beers with your good self at Rileys. It was a great privilege, I sure learnt an awful lot in that short time. I eagerly await any posts you may make here in the future. You will no doubt have "forgotten" more about Africa and hunting than all of us here will collectively ever know. I am sure we all look forward to you sharing a small part of your wealth of knowledge on this forum. Hope the knee is feeling better. Cheers.  | |||

It's an honor to share an "internet campfire" with you, sir - computers can be wonderful things! I really enjoyed the reminiscences you recently published about Robert Ruark, and in particular your foreword to Alan Ritchie's recent Ruark biography. All the best! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Sir Harry Selby, You are without a doubt the most distinguished member ever, of these forums. I did not think it possible to improve the quality of this site, but you just did it. I missed you on my first pass through Maun. I stopped by Riley's and you were not there.  Of course it is reassuring that you are not sitting on a barstool and drinking beer continuously.  Please get those memoirs in print, and get an audio CD for us to hear some stories in your voice, even if you have to get Gail to "pen" you down. Best Regards, Ron Berry | |||

After researching several rifle calibers for Cape Buffalo, I decided on a 416 Rigby. This was because of the great flexibility and the historical past of the rifle that you helped create. The rifle should be done in the beginning of 2010 and hope to use it during the 2010 hunting season. Thanks again for being a historical part of this great adventure that I hope to soon partake in. | |||

What an honor! You and your exploits are legendary, I'm looking forward to your insights, writings and posts.

Mr. Selby, I had the pleasure of hunting in Botswana May 22 through June 2 with Clive Eaton's Tholo Safaris. I had a great time. The last night I was in country I stayed at Tree Lodge in Maun and talked about the old days with Douglas Wright who I believe is a contemporary of yours. I have read much about your influence on African hunting which was a large part of my decision to hunt in Africa. It is with great admiration and respect that I add my welcome to you! John | |||

Welcome to AR Mr. Selby! I look forward to your contributions. Brett PS. When can we expect an autobiography? I'll volunteer to buy the first one! DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Mr. Selby, It is indeed an honor to have you amongst us for you have done many times what most of us only dream of. I also agree with an earlier post that he deserves "one of us" title just after one post. The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

Harry, Welcome sir, Reading of your adventures through Ruark's writing is a huge part of the reason that I have hunted Africa. And yearn to do more of it year after year. I've truly enjoyed reading and re reading your stories. Please keep them coming. | |||
