Fellas and gals, here is the story...Went to bed late and checked to see if anyone won the hunt and not posted yet...Got up at 6am made coffee checked email erased spam and checked weather to see if any rain coming to Pensylvania and none around poured the java and took my two lab retrievers for their morning walk...Got home and told my wife I was going to diner to talk to my buddy who is going to Dande in Oct...Finished coffee and conversation and headed to dry cleaners with my Dad's clothes..Cell phone rings and wife asks me did you go on puter and I answered yes the weather and nothing else...She says, " there are some posts in email about winning the buf hunt, I need to come home right NOW, and I say get the he.. out of here and I say yea really and I hang up and drive a little farther I call her back is this some kind of April fools joke in June.. I tell here to log on to AR and there is Saeed's post winner Retreever and I was painting in the house and guess what not a darn thing got done...Today... To all of you who congratulated me...I am very thankful... All who put this hunt together and their generosity thank you...My wife is the photo taker and she will get lots of pics Mike | ||

Gee, I wish it was some bum that had won it, so I could hate them. But you are being so nice about it, I hope you have a great trip, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Have fun (damnit!).  ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Does anyone know the monetary value of a hunt like this? Seems like a very generous hunt offer for all that's included in the package. | |||

Congratulations Mike! But when over there, in the Selous, don’t you forget what you owe us all (poor four hundred losers  ): some good stories and a zillion pics. B.Martins  What every gun needs, apart from calibre, is a good shot and hunter behind it. - José Pardal | |||

Have a nice trip! Although cartridge selection is important there is nothing that will substitute for proper first shot placement. Good hunting, "D" | |||
