Ladies and Gentlemen, It seems there are a number of people here who are still totally ignorant of Walter. I have received some PMs asking why does Walter not do our Live Hunt Report from the camp. For starters, Walter has at least half a dozen cameras, but, last year he has taken a grand total of 182 photos!!? Second, Walters daily report will look something like: Day 1. Saeed shot a buffalo. Day 2. Saeed shot a pig. Day 3. Saeed shot an impala for me to cook. Day 4. Saeed and Roy were chased up a tree by baboons. Alan ran away laughing! Day 5. I am still in my tent. I don't know what they had shot. Monkeys throwing stones on my tent. Or may be it is Saeed. And so on. | ||

Saeed, Perhaps he could post his version of a report...NOT your daily report?  | |||

Seems like it would be pretty accurate and probably colorful reporting .. Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

I just asked him to answer your question. He said "meat, cook on open fire! Burn one side so Saeed can eat it"  | |||

Walter is - An ageless dwarf of German descent placed on this earth to entertain and confuse Saeed and everyone who hunts Africa. If you have seen the movie "Inspector Gadget" - this is a life story of Walter. Better yet, he is Inspector Clouseau from the Pink Panther movies. He is very gifted at creating situations that so unprobable that many on AR shake our collective heads at his cunning methods. That is Walter... | |||

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, please, Saeed, please, tell the story of Walter setting the trigger of a rifle in the vice. Please.    | |||

If Walter is good at anything, he is very good at setting triggers. He has a long wooden bench in his workshop that is mounted against the whole wall on one side of his workshop. He has all sorts of vices and tools installed on that bench. One of the vices was installed near a corner - if you stand working on something mounted in that vice, you will be facing one end of the wall, while the other is to your left. I am explaining this so you all get the right mental picture. It als helps to amplify the sound of a rifle going off  Walter had a 308 rifle in the vice, upside down, and he was adjusting the trigger. The rifle was facing to our left, to teh side wall. He kept cocking the bolt, adjust the trigger screws a bit, and pull the trigger. The phone rang in his office next door. It must have been a rather quiet day that one, so I thought of bringing some excitement into it. I took a 308 round, and put it in the chamber of that rifle......and waited. Walter came back, did some more screw adjustment - by now I am standing by the door, with fingers in my ears, waiting patiently for the rifle to go off! Walter pulls the trigger! The rifle flies out of the vice! Walter was screaming all sorts of obscenities in some foreign language I could not comprehend. He walks out of the wortkshop, gets into his car and drove away. We did not see or hear from him for 3 days! | |||

Saeed, what is it about you and guns flying through the air to peals of laughter? There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

For some reason this thread about Saeed and Walter reminds me of Gary Larsons great book of cartoons.  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. A. E. Housman | |||

 Oh yes, "The Hole in the Wall Gang" that ganged up on Walter: I do recall reading that over a decade ago. Still shocking!!! 
Yep, that looks familiar. Many things here have reminded me of Gary Larson's "The Far Side" cartoons! More to follow, I am sure! Walter "pulling a Mark Sullivan" on one of Saeed's buffalo hunts:  | |||

I think it should be required that all of us view the movie "The Gods Must be Crazy" before reading any of their hunt reports this year. It'll lend perspective to what they're like. | |||

It would make for an "interesting" read. ... a comparison of Saeed's report and Walter's report would be quite a hoot! -------------------------------------------- National Rifle Association - Life Member National Wild Turkey Federation - Diamond Life Sponsor Pope & Young Club - Associate Member | |||

I think you should post your normal wonderful reports, but Walter should post his "read" on the day in addition ... Regards, Chuck "There's a saying in prize fighting, everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" | |||

I recall that he also has 4 GPS units, and still doesn't know where he is. | |||

Late-Bloomer: Buy a donkey! You obviously are a gifted art critic. I understand Walter well in his "Court Jester" role. It is the "Royal Gunsmith" part I don't understand, unless it is from a "retired" position. I figure Walter taught Saeed the basics of running a lathe and mill and hand tools, back when he was still capable of it, fresh out of apprenticeship training with a big name maker in Germany. Now Saeed must do all his gunsmithing for himself, and allows Walter, friend near close as family, to amuse everybody, sort of like the "Court Jester" accommodated out of basic, humane, pet-like treatment. Like a crazy uncle. | |||
