WOW! WHAT A BARGAIN.....oh, except the trophy fee of five figures. When the price difference between Zim or Tanzania and RSA for cape buffalo can equal the daily rates and flights to RSA to collect the species that are unavailable at the superior buffalo destination, I cant understand why someone would NOT do this.
That said, there are a few areas of RSA in which I would feel ok, ethically, about hunting for Buffalo. One of them isn't available anymore and is historically significant enough to MAYBE induce me to be interested. The others just represent Veblenesque consumption as far as I'm concerned.

Best,

A collection of statements you have made recently:

quote:

I served in WWII and Korea unfortunately I still carry the scars.

quote:

DD: yes I served and am proud of it.I left a wife with a baby on the way for WWII, when I got drafted. got my legs shot up.
Korea was under way before my 2nd girl was born and I got recalled. In short order I was a POW .What you heard about prisoner treatment isn't all BS. it was nasty. 3 pals and I tried to escape and were caught. Punishment was sever to say the least. I didn't run again. Was released in a POW exchange.

quote:

I give up my 1st class seat to wounded uniforms I see and fly coach. Why? I remember being spit on in JFK returning on crutches from 'Nam. And hearing "shame they didn't blow off your ba!!s"

quote:

Myself, I've been around and built wheelguns as well as qualified for an Olympic back in the 60's with them for nearly 60 years.

quote:

yes I'm pretty damm old, but thankfully I can still get my hunting done. and I still run a 8.5 minute mile and play a high 80's golf game too boot! Now if only the young chicks liked tall skinny gray haired retired lawyers I'd be happier than hell! BB.

quote:

When you do what I do for a living and sell enough guns as well as repair enough guns… I've had FAs on the bench to repair just like I do Rugers, but as far as production gunbs go ( which will never be equal to my customed guns)… I worked for Dan Wesson for a few years, even shot on their team in several matches.

quote:

But I've worn 3 Dillon's out in the last 15 years!

quote:

pretty sure of yourself aren't you pup? what the hell would I have to gain on a big game thread by claiming to be one birthday short of the big 80 and a vet.

quote:

I worked my way thru college and had a wife and 2 kids while doing it too!! I was raised on the very same farm I now own and hunt.

I'm from the lower 48, but lived in and still come home to AK every year.

I had my wife along to RSA and we were sitting in camp in the heat of the day, when the PH says to one of the staff in Afrikan " doesn't the Mrs. have a lovely a$$ and big T--s, I'd like to #$%^ her a good one" you should have seen their faces when I replied in Afrikan " I have" then proceeded to teach this 30 yr old PH a few good old fashion Yankee manners!

Your mom’s 65 and you fought in WWII and turned 80 this year? That really leaves me scratching my head, I must admit. Are you talking about your 65 year old pack-muleYankee mother from the lower 48 who raised you on that farm you own and hunt? Or is this your hundred year old half-black South African mother who taught you your good Yankee manners so you could slap around your PH after he said something about your wife in “Afrikanâ€? Good thing you speak fluent “Afrikanâ€, by the way. I never heard of that lingo myself, but since you are from South Africa and were raised there, you probably speak “Afrikan†and Afrikaans and Ebonics and everything else they speak over there.

At times, it is important for you to be 80 years old and have served in WWII and Korea. Wounded no less. End of story on those posts. At other times, you served in Vietnam, wounded again. No mention of those other wars. I want the whole story. Did you also fight in the Spanish American War?

You are a retired lawyer, I see. One who interrupted his lawyer career to have a gun shop, repair guns all the time, also fight in at least three wars, and wear out three Dillons. You qualified for the Olympics with a revolver you built in the 60’s while fighting in the Vietnam War. Your parents are in their mid 60’s and can still carry whole mooses out of the woods on their backs. This is a confusing timeline. Your parents are about 15 years younger than you are.

Perhaps you were adopted. Yeah! That’s it! Now your life story is completely consistent and plausible.

Mister, whoever you are, you are a filthy liar and a troll. It doesn't so much bother me that this is what you are or that you visit these forums. A lot of filthy lying trolls visit these forums, and I generally pay them no mind. What really bugs me is that you are impolite. You jump into topics of which you have no knowledge. You lie about guns you have never owned. You offer grossly inaccurate reloading advice, and you excoriate innocent and well meaning parties as you do this.

You are not a veteran.
You are not a wounded WWII veteran.
You are not a Korean War POW.
You are not a wounded Vietnam veteran.
You are not 80 years old.
Your mother is not in her 60's.
You were not born in South Africa.
You have never been to South Africa.
You don't know much about guns.
You don't know anything about reloading.
You offer nothing but rudeness and disinformation to discussions.

You do remind me of another user name that lies about his experience and his gun collection. His trademark is that he insults other forum members and is very insistent upon his lies and insufficiently googled information being correct.

Get a life.
