Hello to all of you around the campfire whose messages of welcome on my first visit are most appreciated. I regret that I have been unable to respond as I should have wished due to a constant problem with my connection to the server. I hope to have a new system in place early next month which will be faster and more reliable and I will endeavor to be more active in the Forum on subjects which I might know something about. In the meantime I’ll say ‘Cheers’ and look forward to seeing you all soon. Harry. | ||

Mr. Selby, your experience and knowledge is more than Welcome around this campfire any time you can make it. I will never make it to Africa to hunt, but I have read of your exploits many times and look forward to hearing more about your career in the bush.  Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Sorry to hear about your internet problems. I look forward to hearing from you more regularly when you get them solved. We will certainly be the richer for it! Cheers! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Mr. Selby That is some of the best news I have received in a long time. Your posts will be highly valued by all of us. Thank you. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ 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. -Jason Brown | |||

Excellent to see you here.

Welcome to AR Mr. Selby. You, or perhaps more accurately, writing about you, has influenced a lot of us over the years. I also remember an article you wrote for Sports Afield a few years ago on the Maytag elephant. Are you going to write any more articles?

Bwana Harry, I did not find your story in the July 2009 American Rifleman. That was delivered in June. Maybe it will be in the August and September dated issues that will be delivered in July and August? I'll be looking for the two-parter. | |||

Robert Ruark's stories of his safaris with you are what started me on a long trip to Africa that I finally got to make about six months ago. The most famous quote in African Lore "Cape Buffalo; they look at you as if you owe them money...". That got me to Zimbabwe and a good bull. Thanks for all you have done for us over half a century.

orry about that. I was told that the articles would appear in July/August. Guess they have been put back for space reasons. I have seen the first one which was e-mailed to me colour pics and all. Cheers. | |||

Mr Selby, So good to see you are doing well and entering the forum. I had the pleasure of meeting you in 2007 with Chris Collins, we had just taken a good bull elephant and you signed Ruarks book for me there in Maun. Will look forward to your posts.

Dear Harry, There are just not only problems with computers in Botswana! My ordinary computer was blown up in a lightning that set fire on our neighbours house (50 paces away!) two days ago -totally burned out (a close shave indeed), so I can't email you this message. A good friend of mine is coming to The Crocodile lodge, outside Maun on Monday evening, leaving for a photo safari in the delta on Tuesday morning. You will have a small parcel to collect at the reception of the lodge. Best regards Mats, Sweden | |||

Hi Matts, Many thanks for the info... Ken told me about your computer problems last evening. They are having phone problems and now rely on a small modem for their computer, Hope all well with the Bergholm family.., Is your e-mail address still the same... I have sent a couple of e-mails to you... no reply.. I understand why now. Cheers, Harry. | |||

Haraka, You have done well. Hope the "Kwaheri Safari Part One" is an excerpt from the book you are writing. I am anxious for "Part Two" ... waiting for the hundred-pounder to fall. The anticipation of it all! One column of one page:  | |||

Mr. Selby, You can tell I'm a young guy here, because the first time I read about you was in an article written in Petersen's Hunting by Joe Coogan about a Botswana elephant hunt where I believe he used your .416 to take a nice bull. Since then I've come to read a lot of Ruark's books and have to say, I really believe you are truly a legend and I'll read all of your posts here thru wide eyes. I just read your article (Part I, anyway) about Ruark's last elephant hunt, it was a good one! All of the above mentioned articles are part of what inspired me to start saving for Africa! Thank-you and everyone else involved! I heal fast and don't scar. | |||

Harry is indeed a wonderful addition to the membership of this forum. As I said in a previous post somewhere, he has no doubt forgotten more than the rest of us know collectively. I only wish he would post more often. There is no substitute for experience, and he has truckloads of it. | |||
