All the best

Hi Dave,
Will certainly give John Dugmore a 'shout over the fence' as you say. I will pass on your message about the Safari Classics boys and I am sure we will both look foward to seeing you guys in Bots. next year. In the meantime Best wishes from us here.. Cheers,
Harry.

Hi,
Thanks for your welcoming message.. much appreciated.. the story about the Duchess and rhino was exactly as it happened... however the incident occurred over fifty years ago and I cannot now swear that the words I used to urge the duchess further up the tree as the sharp end of the rhino was rapidly approaching, were as polite as Bob quoted.
Cheers,

Harry.

Please allow me to add my welcome to you. I've had the priviglege of hunting in Botswana with Mark Kyriacou"s outfit in the Delta and at Clive Eaton's ranch. Your name has come up around the campfire and the respect which the PH's clearly have for you speaks volumes. I look forward to reading you posts.
If I might pose a question; What is the situation in Botswana regarding hunting in the future?

Regarding b.matins' suggestion that Mr Selby be listed as "one of us"; The guy just signed up, do we really want to insult him right off the bat?

Mr. Selby,
Just one more welcome to the AR forums. I certainly hope that you won't be just lurking in the shadows but standing by the firelight and sharing many of your stories and memories of a life that most of us only dream of.

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Welcome Mr. Selby! We all look forward to reading your contributions.

AR just became a better place to spend time and I'm sure we can all learn a lot. I do hope we'll get to read about your early days in East Africa.

Welcome Harry, one of the greatest advantages of wildlife, conservation and hunting are that there is no man alive who knows it all, but I'm sure you have seen a lot more then the rest of us and we solute you on your lifes wonderings and learnings and hope you can share with us what you have learnt, glad to see someone with some knowlegde has come onto the forum for a change and sure 99% of us will get some sort of education, please skip past the armchair hunters and greenpeace snipers and enjoy the forum as most folk here are true hunters.

Welcome to AR Forum Mr. Selby. I feel honored to share this electronic space with you!

In good hunting.

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!
