JudgeG, that was a wonderful story and well-told. I am fortunate that my wife is a hunter (she's quite specific: she took me on HER first safari!) but I think you've provided a blueprint for those whose wives love to travel, but don't enjoy hunting.

Congratulations on a great trip!

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Had to cancel, alas! Already had bought tickets, too. Matt will explain, but for now, "duty calls" will suffice. Have a great hunt!

Excellent hunt and a very well written report. I enjoyed the read a great deal. Find myself wanting more. You can use that as an excuse to hurry back. Smiler


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

Thank you for sharing, Judge. It reminded me of why I went the first time, and why I go back when I can.
