Zig MackintoshBwanamrm and ilw thanks for your compliments. It is not just me, we have a fine crew that work with Osprey.
Danny McCallum is a fine gentleman in the true sense of the word. He has lived a life of adventure that few people even dream of.

larryshoresVery nice Zig.
Everyone loves the video you all made for me last year. I have sent almost 100 copies to friends. They all have the same positive comments.
I will see Murray in October.

Zig MackintoshThanks Larry. Murray is looking forward to the hunt!

Bwana MojaNice work Zig...well done promo of what a hunt in Danny's blocks looks like. He is one of the nicest, modest and most understated gentlemen I've ever met in the safari world. He is a legend, but you would never know it sitting down enjoying the campfire with him.
He probably should have retired a couple years ago because of health reasons, but he worked himself back in good shape which is a testament to how embedded safari hunting is in his blood.
He doesn't get enough credit in Tanzania, often being overshadowed by bolder and better promoted outfitters, so it's nice to finally see Danny on a reel such as this.
How many Tanzania greats of his stature only lease one booth for his display at SCI? None of them. He's always been a believer that less is more, choosing to let his work and accomplishments sell his business.
Danny has also green lighted the careers of numerous PH's across the continent of Africa. Once again, well done Zig. My best to Danny & Jo, Mike Fell, Gerard Miller and all the great PH's Danny has tutored.
