Hi guys, I arrived home late Saturday night from Cameroon. It's going to take me a few more days to get the report compiled and posted, but until then here's a pict of the LDE. To say I am thrilled is an understatement.

I also shot an old dugga boy Northwestern Buffalo, a huge 22 1/5" Western Cob, Harnessed Bushbuck, and very nice (Rowland Ward) Red Flanked and Grimm's Duikers (both hunted on foot, stalking along the Faro River). Throw in a day in Paris, lots of walking, fishing (Nile Perch & Tiger), Guinea Fowl, wonderful meals, tons of animals, nice camp, good people, some excitement getting home - all in an environment that had me totally out of my comfort level - and it was one amazing hunt and experience. I look forward to sharing it with you.

EDIT: Here's a link to the Report...better grab a cold one!

Hey Bill,

Welcome back, glad to hear that you were able to finally evade your "captors"...we were a little worried for a while..

Sounds like a great hunt and that is a spectacular Lord Derby. Can't wait for your, as usual, fully detailed excellent hunt report.

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
