Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

GunsCoreI leave October 14th for a late season clean up hunt with Alan Shearing of CM Safaris in Makuti and maybe Dande. It is booked as a 12 day buffalo hunt, but I can take other DG animals left on quota if there are any. It is a little bit cheaper (not much) and it will be hot and there are no guarantees, but what the hell, I am not getting any younger.
STAY IN THE FIGHT!
