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.

Talk about nostalgia! Thanks, Allen.

Bert Klineburger still books for the Pasanisis, although Eric Pasanisi has largely taken over for his father, Gerard. Great outfit, still hunting over half of the Selous.

Palmer:

If you'll look in the listing of magazine staff inside that issue, you'll see I produced it. The Zimbabwe government trophy fees I paid for a buffalo, kudu and sable in 1983 totaled just over $1,000U.S.

So it is! William R. Quimby Publications Director.

Also inside is a great article by AR member Phillip Shoemaker titled "Hard earned Grizzly"

Take a look at the Zim trophy fees, some aren't all that different from today.

The hunting company obviously was marking up those fees. As I indicated earlier, my five-day hunt in the Matetsi in 1983 was "comped" by the outfitter and I paid only a bit more than $1,000 to the Zimbabwe government for trophy fees on the buffalo, kudu and sable I shot. Don't know if marking up trophy fees is happening or even allowed now, but it certainly did occur back then.

Hunting the big five for 32,000 would be pretty cool--but that was a lot of scratch in the mid-80's-- time value of money that would be between $78,000- $95,000 depending on whos numbers you use. Really not that much different other than the op to hunt the big 5 on one safari. Good stuff anyway!!!!

I hunted Ele, Buff, Lion, Eland and Warthog in Zim in 2003. Elephant was about $10,000(Leopard was $3,000, but I didn't hunt leo) but everything else was about the same as was listed in the ad.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.
