So happy to see you here and I know the AR family is thrilled to have you on board. Please give John Dugmore a "shout over the fence" and tell him the Safari Classics boys send our best. I hope to see you both in Bot's next year.
All the best
Dave
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.

TerryRPlease 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?
Mr. Selby welcome, I would have given anything to be in the 1950’s and be able to hunt with you.
Best regards

TerryRRegarding 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?

clowdisMr. 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.

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.

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.
