BlankIvan: Have a great trip, and be safe out there. Don't know how you can contain yourself, going for months at a time - what a rush! Just 4 months to go and I will be in Chewore South with Paul Smith, on my buff and tuskless hunt.

bwanamrmDamn, I'm jealous...
Good hunting Ivan... keep the wind in your face!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Be safe and find a good bull or two!
