Call me biased, but I just cannot think of anyone his age who has done as much hunting...And call me biased again, but there is nobody I would rather hunt with. A true professional hunter, cheers Jonny!   At Devuli HQ (now Chishakwe) in 1972, with a calf killing leopard my dad shot.  Dande, 1980 something...  Best PH on the proficiency exam.  Save in more recent times  Mahenya  With Anton  With Amos, Jonny's right hand man since 1986, when they both began working for Ian Piercy, the then owner of ZH.  With his sons Daniel and Nicholas  Who are being raised just right...  | ||

Your brother is an OUTSTANDING PH and one of the most fun people to be around. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have hunted with him and Amos. Is the woman in the 1980 something photo Phyllis Tucker? Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

Thanks folks, I simply felt the need to make this post... You know, I don't think I have ever told my brother how much I respect his achievements, it must be a brother thing...I will tell him when I next see him, I am obviously ready to... Must be why I posted this on impulse late last night when I was thinking of the big picture, how short life truly is...It felt the right thing to do... May have something to do with turning 40... Kathi, my brother has always spoken highly of you and Rick, I believe you enjoyed a great safari together. Yes, that is the amazing Phyllis Tucker in the photo! Jonny was really impressed by her! He came home at the end of that season and said he had hunted with the most remarkable woman who was always immaculately turned out and yet a very determined hunter who would and did smoke a lion in an instant! She shot 2 lions on that hunt, I believe. On the other side of Phyllis is the legendary PH Dzingai Makoni (Ian Piercy's right hand man) whom Jonny did a lot of his training under. David | |||

I think Jonny has better hair than that lion. Wonder hmm, shoulder mount or full body? Either way, he'd need a beer in his hand. Can't wait till Jan. to see him again. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

Valley lion  You'd need to work out the space factor for a full body mount of Jon! Biebs, I know Jon will be well pleased to be hunting with the good doctors again. Right now, Jonny and Collen are hunting out of Arda, one of them is doing a lion, I think.. | |||

I had the great pleasure in meeting Jonny this past SCI convetnion. I really appreciate him taking the time to help me with information hunting Zimbabwe. He was very helpful and I understand how he has the respect of so many. | |||

Thanks again for the thoughtful remarks folks. nube, you know right now I have nothing at all recent on my computer. I have been out of it for years, to tell truth. Missing it, really... I will chase up Alistair, Collen and Thierry - they are the only ones I have a chance of getting photos from. I need to make the acquaintance of the Appy, they are always good for photos... I will do what I can as soon as possible. David | |||

It's like hunting with Shirley Temple's big brother!!! | |||

You should have seen him "ivory to ivory" with a charging, man-eating coyote one Jan. night in South Texas. I thought I'd lose him to hyperventilation! | |||
