I tip my hat to you all, and the many I've failed
to name, whom others will...

I would add Bill C to the list. One of the guys who contributes a lot with no financial interest in the outcome, unlike some on your list.

What the heck is wrong with making money?
I try daily to accomplish it.
I own conv. stores & love doing it. Never consider what I'm doing as work.
If they are blessed enough to have an occupation that they love & can make money doing it, GOOD!
Please tell me that you enjoy what you do & make a living at it.
Making money is not wrong!

What AAW was pointing out is that many here give out of the goodness for their heart while others are giving with the intent of making a return on their investment.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Exactly what my point was. Larry Shores, Bill C., and Saeed have all shared their experiences with us with no expectation of financial gain.

I agree.
These guys are in the league of their own.
Good enough for me.

When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

There are a lot more who like to remain anonymous.

My hat is off to everyone who does anything to help, regardless of how big or small is their help.

saeed , +1 - some of the biggest givers are anonymous - truly its this group of people ...the givers , who will ensure that not just our sport but our wildlife and wild places will be there for generations of the future to enjoy , the antis are getting stronger and more vocal , NOW is the time to stand together ...for those who cannot give $$ give some time and support social media groups that support and promote ethical sustainable hunting ...

thanks again to everyone who gives back ..no matter how big or small , it all makes a difference !

see you in dallas !

Some deceased persons who have come to my mind:

Stanley & Livingston
P H Capstick
R Ruark
Pondoro Taylor- and all the pro ivory hunters whom we've read books about, and who have authored books
