Sorry guys, but it wont let me open the You Tube link.
Mike Jines will post the video for me below
Enjoy!!

That was hilarious! I had to pause it several times to stop laughing!

Ol Buzz was pretty observant and caught on to that one quickly! Darn funny... Jines and Jolly, I feel for you guys the next hunt. I can only imagine what might be in store for you!

Funny. Apparently Thierry wants to make the jump to video . . . . He wouldn't get out of the frame!

Godod stuff RJ & MJ!

Way too funny!!

How observant is your dangerous game PH ?

It would appear that whilst the top African PHs can be relied upon to spot danger well in advance when in their own environment they are a little slow when caught out of context.
Teeth veneers, three days stubble, thick glasses, a hat and a pillow up the shirt are all it takes to have them stumbling like an overweight novice hunter up the Makuti hills.
Whilst he started to suspect that this may not be the village idiot as he first thought Buzz still had no idea who it was. When he spotted the tip of the radio mike peeping out of the button hole he thought he had evidence, but he backed off again like a mock charge when it wasn’t admitted to readily and when he couldn’t find any wires (which had been threaded inside the material of the lapel)
Up to that point he was toast !!!
It is also worth noting that there were two other fellow dangerous game PHs present, Myles McCallum and Richie Shultz. Now these guys could have been relied upon one hundred percent if Buzz wanted backing up on a wounded lion, but when it came to dealing with a weird looking Swen you will notice that they just turned and ran !
It was only after the whole game was up and the amateurish disguise was removed that anyone recognised the person that they had hunted with for the last five years.
What level of observation is that ???
The only part of the episode that can be considered an authentic aspect of all Zim PHs is that he demanded to see a picture of the daughter before committing to any discount.

The moral of this story is;
If you are ever hunting a buffalo that happens to be wearing a hat, make sure you make your own decision that it’s a bull before you pull that trigger.

Many thanks to Dave Leonhardt and Mike Jines for all their help in setting this up and apologies for the poor accent that seemed to start in Scandinavia, moved into eastern Europe and then ended up somewhere near China.

Boris Swenson will be on tour in the Save Conservancy later in May

Also good to see that Buzz knows his place in the elephant hunting pecking order. When confronted with the statement that Number One Man "Even" Carter was too busy to book Boris, so Boris came to talk to Buzz, Buzz is very accepting of his place in the hunting food chain . . . either that or he smelled the cash and was prepared to throw caution to the wind to move in for the kill.

That is to funny!!!!

I don't know how Rob stayed in character. I would have lost it early on! Damn good stuff!

Good one guys!

Hilarious. The "number one man" line was well delivered.

that's hilarious!

That episode reminded me of some of the Australians who we had in camp last hunt.. They could really get Buzz going.

This was hilarious, really a good gag!

Buzz does appreciate a good joke.

Buzz caught the microphone pretty quickly! I would have loved to have seen what was going to play out had he not known something was up!

Good job guys and thanks for the laughs!

That was the best part of the gag. I just about lost it!

I notice a lot of these young Zim PHs have a very good sense of humor. Buzz seemed to enjoy the prank almost as much as the pranksters.

Seriously funny! However, some of the back gound people were a bit odd looking. At one point it looked like two women with their hands in each other's pockets were hanging out there.



Oh and Svenson is one seriously odd looking dude.

Very funny,but I think Buzz was quite quick again,asking after the daughter..that's my boy

Hillarious & very clever of Buzz!

Too funny! Do those glasses help with open sights?

Ann, I think the ..err..individual on the right was a man.. i think...but hell, I haven't seen reciprocal hands-in-pockets since about 1986...good to see some people keepin' it real...

I have known Buzz for many years. He knew very early on, this was a "deal", and he went along with it, hoping to see a picture of the daughter...

Zimbabwe PH's are very good at "Making a Plan".

It looked to me that Buzz figured out that a game was afoot and played along. Funny to watch though.

Locksley,R.

I would be concerned about hunting with someone after a stunt like that, hunting accidents happen!
And hyenas can eat the evidense.

Payback will be a joy to hear about...

Plastic mambas in the potty

"gee, I'm sorry, but your double fell in the Zambezi..."

some of Saeed's salt loaded shells in the rifle when you are chasing game...

"push the car out of the mud... whoops...

The mind boggles....

I would be most worried that Buzz would get the camp's chef into the game.

Whatever it is will surely be epic and hopefully on film.

Funny...BUT...You know somwhere at some show, Buzz has had to deal with someone that is not much different than your spoofer...

Jeff

Wonder if he was a South African Ph setting up Buzz for a sting.

Mike

I got tears running down my eyes from laughing so hard!!!!!!!!! Well done all the way around. Buzz is a consummate PH, definately had his priorities strait in asking to see the pic of the daughter.

Excellent. Even though Buzz was on it very soon, he was a great sport and played along.

I did not know Swenson was an oriental surname.....

Funny!!!

That's classic

That's classic!

Who needs enemies with friends like these?

Boris bears an uncanny resemblance to Richard Harland! Long lost brothers perhaps?

Very good disguise Robert - not sure i would have recognised you !

Very annoying he clocked the mike so quickly

I thought the same thing when I saw the clip! If not related, they definitely buy their glasses from the same place.

Serious classic. Should be a requirement for appy's to watch a real pro in action.

With SCI in full swing, it's 'bout time to trot this out again.

Good fun. Thanks Will for bringing it back up.
