BrettAKSCIMaybe your problem is that you just need more exercise. Kind of like a dog that chews on things and pisses on your pillow. Chipo would you please take adrook for a walk?

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"

adrookBash the messenger, I don't care.
The unfortunate fact remains that the above pack of clowns (with the exception of Fulson whom I guess is some sort of cameraman) is what passes for gunwriters these days.

Why don't YOU start writing to impress us with your knowledge?
Or are you scared that reality and your own deams are totally different?

Dave FulsonAs for me, I would vote for that handsome devil Dave Fulson!
If he didn't have so much class he would probably say something crass like "Read a little closer dumbass, I'm not simply a cameraman for CTB, I own the fucking company that produces all the stuff you hate so much "

Jeff WemmerBoddington is hands-down the best overall! Not only is he an excellent hunter, great shot (one ofthe best DR shots you will ever see)....Just ask Ivan Carter...
....He is the consumate writer. While in camp I once asked Craig what he thought of himself. His reply "I'm a prettyy good shot, love to hunt, but, I am real good at 1000 words an hour - that's what I do - write and write fast"!
There's a man that knows his calling!!!
AND that, is what it is all about - knowing your place / talent and making the most of it!
History will smile kindly upon CB!
Why didn't anybody think to add "Spomer"??? He's the real dea as well!

PS - Fulsom is very underrated as a camerman and producer - don't let that laid-back Texan fool you - there's a lot going on upstairs with that boy!

Jack D BoldWouldn't we all be better served to ignore the class clown, depriving him of what he seeks so badly - the attention of others?
I will start the process - bubye adrook

MARK H. YOUNGAndy,
You forgot Joe Coogan. Spent his teens in Kenya and learned his trade at the elbow of Harry Selby. Understand he is a personal friend of mine before you start up with anything insulting.
As for ass kissing I'll be more than willing to bare my fat, hairy bottom anytime (in public) if you'd like to provide a lip lock on it. Sounds like a challenge.
Andy I know you are getting a chuckle out of winding up some of the AR folks but there are a few people on the board and others monitoring the sight that really are players in the safari business. Those folks might be in a position to be of great assistance to you even years in the future. Maybe you should quit now before you completely alienate yourself and find that everyone has taken their toys and gone home leaving you to play alone.

PWN375Robert Ruark-any man who can drink and screw himself to death by age 50 and still churn out a newspaper piece each week for 20 years, write a collection of short stories, magazine articles and a few novels, own a Spanish villa and drive a Rolls Royce; plus hunt, fish and explore all over the globe and pay for it with a typewriter is worthy of hero worship and ass kissing until your lips are chapped.

Mark,
I give you credit for having the nads to speak truthfully to a client in the public light of a forum.
Good advice!!

Andy,
Are you really that bored you need these threads?

Bryan ChickI normally ignore nonsensical posts or conversations, however, regarding Boddington and his rank, I am going to throw my oar into the water. He was selected, by the General Officers Board, for promotion and his name was sent to the Senate for confirmation, normally a simple matter: it being presumed that a man selected by his Branch of Service is fully qualified for the promotion. Officers are confirmed since the armed forces are restricted to a set number of officers in all grades. Anyway, his only sin was allowing himself to be frocked before confirmation, which is easy to understand since no officer gladly ignores the suggestion of his CG. I address him, when we see him at DSC, as General; it being my view that no one rises to that rank without justification.Therefore, the fact that due to the confusion caused by by assuming the rank too early resulted in his non confirmation does not alter the fact that the Corp considered him qualified. You will note that he attended college under the NROTC Scholarship program an achievement many believe to be more difficult to attain that an appointment to the Academy

Mr. adrook
i rarly say anything bad about anyone, but in your case, i allmost stray from my rule, you seem about as welcome here as a jehovas witness at a blood donor convention, it is no shame to leave when you are buuhed of the stage. so please take the hints that these nice people are giving you.
Either crawl back to the political forum where they might like your juveniel demenor, or stop posting, maybe saeed could help us all by banning you as you seem to ignorant to get the message yourself.

Adrian ParhamI don't worship any other living person. I do really miss, honor, and respect my departed father.
Having said that, CTB is worthy of respect and admiration. He is , to me, as good as any writer dead or alive and gladly gives of his time to those of us who can do nothing for him
when asked.
Nothing makes one appear smaller than trying to disparage another. I have never known of Craig resorting to that in all my years of reading his writings or in person.

Mark,
As long as I have the dollars I am willing to bet there will be more than enough folks willing to sell safaris. I seriously doubt that the fact that I think CB is a douchebag will keep me from hunting.
But, if what you are saying is you are somehow putting honor above dollars and you don't want to book any more safaris for me then so be it, I can shop elsewhere.
BTW, Joe Coogan is one of the writers that I do enjoy.
