It's Life and death, and my only concern would be to disable you quickly before you had the opportunity to touch me. I don't think you can quite wrap your brain around that fact, that your life would have no value to me; or that ending it would be about as traumatic an episode for me as squashing a bug on the sidewalk.

This is my first post here but if this type of thing is what I can expect it may be my last. What kind of person threatens to murder someone because they think they were insulted on an internet forum? If I were graybird I would contact the authorities at once to have them make sure this person isn't mentally ill and a threat to him or his family.

he made the exact same threat(almost verbatim) to me. his vociferous defenders here might want to think about that.also his threat to me was suddenly deleted last night. covering your tracks, Rich??

Rich is not the kind of guy you want to mess with.

Go find an easier target.

He does not need my defense but is the kind of guy I like to think of as a friend.

Go make your trip whatever you want it to be.
I wish you success.

No offense, but Rich is a windbag.

and you are a douchebag!

Rich seems like a nice guy, at least he's been friendly to me, who at the very least, as a veteran, deserves RESPECT! Just what exactly is your purpose here, your posts are attacks on everything this forum is about. If you dont like it, then why dont you set up your own cyberspace soapbox, where you and all your loser whiner friends can bitch about the silly B.S. you've tried to spread here! I vote to get rid of your ass, and keep ISS, his posts are often informative and pertain to hunting and shooting, everything this forum is supposed to be about!

I agree that all veterans deserve our respect and gratitude but I hope you are not suggesting that his service excuses his behavior here.

Making threats against someone's life is a serious matter, both in the eyes of the legal authorities and the person being threatened. As I stated earlier if I had been threatened as graybird, jdollar, scottyboy, or Jerry Huffaker's friend apparently all have been I would be contacting the appropriate authorities to determine whether this person is mentally ill or just a harmless idiot. I think it is really sad that someone feels a human life is of so little value that they will threaten to take it because they think they were insulted on an internet forum.

How, exactly, did this thread degenerate this far in only four days? AR has not typically been a Bloods vs. Crips venue (except of course for the Mark Sullivan threads).

I've been to Africa. I've stayed in tents and in lodges. It's the going, not how you stayed, that counts in the long run.

I can see where this chobe bloke is coming from. If I was 25 years younger with my current disposable income I'd want to do what he is planning too.

I can also see what he means about the hardship of 99% of African Hunts. You can't call it hard. Your hand is held from start to finish. People even pay to have their paper work done.

I think what he is getting at is that most people use hunting in Africa, like military service to define who they are. It is the most interesting (and in the case of military service) the most intense activity they have ever been engaged in. I still have ex-regular Army mates I served with, who look on those days as some kind of halcyon existance. They have simply failed to move on.

This applys to the Forum expert as well. Here is a stage to ponce and promenade on.

To call an organised African hunt difficult is stretching the imagination. It is only as physically difficult as you want to make it. Everything else is done for you.

Edit: Hunting in Africa is a sport, an activity we pay to access. Like going to a theme park.

That pretty much sums it up, re hunting Africa today. You can make it a challenge if you want to, but sadly most choose not to.

All of the fellows that I know who have had war experience never talk about it. They move on.

It's the silent ones who often did the most.

Thread titled "The Romance vs the Reality of Old Africa"?

No romance of old Africa on this thread.

Still possible to do a safari with bits of Old Africa. Including self guided.

But nothing of that sort on this thread.

And I gave up wanting to "rough it" on hunting trips when I was about 16 ...

Well said, Robert.

ISS having deleted his threatening PMs in fear, indicates the actions of a blowhard.
When crazies stab,strangle or shoot their treating phychiatrists instead of themselves,..you come to realize they not really that crazy...

ISS is humorous. pathetic are those who,being able,have never served,but proudly travel in the vorticies of his blowhard smOketrail.
ISS may have rocks in his head, but his non serving cheer leaders have no rocks downstairs.

Please read this in the spirit it is written, it is not confrontational, just factual.

Regardless of your experience, hunting is not there purely as a pleasure to hunters. Hunting is Africa's greatest conservation tool, and the hunter is the real conservationist. It is Dollars, Pounds and Euros that protect our wilderness areas from governments and settlers.
The bottom line is that African Wilderness must pay, so if you can round up enough hunters who will "rough it" according to your terms, shoot less game and still pay the same for the experience; then by all means, call yourself the savior of hunting and purifier of mens spirits. But until that happens, I think you owe each and every one of our partners in conservation an apology.

Sometimes, regardless of your emotional ties to an ideal or concept, you need to step back and look at the bigger picture. This fight is not about you or any other hunter anymore, it is about Africa.

As long as "modern sport hunting" can be carried out in a manner that pays to conserve land whilst delivering a satisfying and sustainable experience to the hunting client, it will continue to be, Africas Greatest Conservation Tool

Well said Ian. I'm happy to pay.

Wow. First time at this topic as I seldom log on any more. Captivating, entertaining, sickening. I won't bore you with my accolades, because nobody gives a shit. I won't brag, threaten, or step on anyone.

QUESTION: Since I have a hard time with good vs. evil who prowl this site, would someone please tell me who bad guys are?

by his own DIRECT admission to me in the PM he sent, ISS is mentally unstable, according to his VA psychiatrist, and apparently needs help. i hope he gets it. military service does not excuse aberrant, threatening behavior.now all the vets-feel free to pile on. facts are facts and in this case supported by multiple examples from multiple people.

Jesus wept.

Grow up, guys. I've spent an adult lifetime being insulted by experts, and that doesn't even include my wife of 38 years.

Pay your money. Hunt the way you want to hunt. Have a great time. Post your adventure here on AR. As to how others choose to do it, STFU.

You would too, if someone nailed you to a cross.

So did Chobe get the ban-hammer?
