He has a donated hunt on our auction this weekend, and I was interested in opinions.

Thanks


Remember, forgivness is easier to get than permission.

Terry, while I haven't hunted with Bobby personally, I know he has a reputation for hunting some areas that hold monster Kudu and Waterbuck, among others. I used to get mailers from a guy in Texas who booked for him, but after moving a couple of years ago, the post office stopped forwarding them after a while.

[i] Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

I know quite a few people here in Florida who have hunted with him....as a matter of fact, I know him, but have not hunted with him....yet. If all of the PH's in Africa had his attitude and personality we would all have to talk about something different than pissing and moaning about our PH's. Gary Smith from Handgun Hunt has hunted with him and will again. John and Judy Bartoletti that own Master Taxidermy in Central Florida have hunted with him several times.
Bobby also donated PH fees for a 7 day hunt for our SCI banquet this weekend and I will be attending a BBQ with him on Sunday afternoon. He is a great individual.
CALL HIS REFERENCES....he has quite a few of them in his brochure.
IMO you could not go wrong booking with him...if you PM me, I can put you in touch with him before this weekend...he is returning to SA on Monday.

Terry: I have known him for about 5 years now, from meeting at shows. We get along and his personality fits me. He is quite likable. His references that I have checked have all been outstanding. I will be trying to hunt with him in the next 2-3 years on a combination RSA/Zim hunt for PG and buffalo with him and his partner, and maybe add in some tiger fishing.

Blank....just booked a Zim/SA buff/ plains hunt with Bobby for '06...most likely Sept. He is booking up VERY quickly. You should contact him if you want to go in '06.
