Hope this comes out. Nice to be 12 years old on first safari with Dad! 1983 in Kalahari.

Sam, you need to put the story with this.

Best regards, D. Nelson

"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”

Thanks for posting D. Nelson.
This was part of a 21 day safari that took place in the Kalahari and Cuando with Terry Palmer. My father and I shot 20 + animals which never made it home, including this full mount black mane lion. I guess it turned out the taxidermist and shipper were crooks. I don't remember all the details, but we have pictures and GREAT memories.
