We are getting too excited! My youngest son Alex and I are off to Malapati in a week. We have high hopes of tangling with one of those big, grey toothy critters that haunt that corner of the world. Alex is queued up for buff and plainsgame. A big jumbo is tops on my list, then switching to lion if successful in the Ivory department. There is also leopard on quota - if Diana would only be so kind. My boy is missing two weeks of eighth grade - somehow I think he will survive. My best buddy John is heading down Sunday. I hope he pops a buff just like the brute he shot last time. He too is looking for jumbo, and I hope he gets a big one early. Although truthfully, I hope it is almost as big as mine. As I am sure he wishes the same for me. If all goes well, we should have a post up the second week of March. Best of luck to those of you who are heading out to the promised lands - Kill Big!

Jack, good luck on the elephant hunt. Say hello to nixon for me. I was there last year for ele and buff. Tom ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

That's great Jack! I am excited for you, but more so for your son. What a great reason to miss school! "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Jack, Your excitement and anticipation can be felt! Please may you have the guts, and trust in your PH, to pass up on the first big one you see. Then my wish is that you have the good luck to see and get a really BIG one! In good hunting.
