MAN OH MAN WHAT A GENEROUS OFFER.
Way to go Chris!

This gives me right to be just a little bit sorrow also for his sake. Don't you agree.

But no hard feelings. And Gordon. If you ever gonna actually do anything that brings even one of my trophies closer to me, would you please consider giving up at least the kudu. No cites, no value to you. We pushed hard 24 hours for that one.

On the other hand, if someone of you could arrange shipping of man himself to me I would be very happy. Even better if he would be wrapped around leopard skin and have pair of ivory in his armpits. It's quite nippy here in Finland this time of a year so warm clothing is very important. Snazzy dressing makes always good first impression so what better than decent fur.

Lathari,

I understand how you wouldn't want someone else's kudu hanging on your wall for reasons yve explained...

What saddens me greatly is that you are hesitant to hunt Africa because of your past experience (can't say I wouldn't feel the same if I were in your shoes).

If you have any interest - this is an offer for you to come to me for a week - free of charge and hunt another kudu bull with me in the mountains - free of charge).

If so I feel you have some responsibility to help make this right, whether you made money or not.

Perhaps you have a contact in Africa that go get these trophies; again if they still are around.

Hats off to Chris Troske; what a generous offer. something I will keep in mind when I am able to go back to Africa.

So let me get this straight. If I recommended you hunt with Andrew Baldry because I enjoyed hunting with him and think he's honorable (which I know he is) and then for some reason he does not ship you the trophies from your hunt then in your mind I would be responsible to somehow make this good?

Sounds like Aaron did try to do exactly that. He contacted Mr. Duncan for quite some time until it was obvious much later there was no chance of resolution.

Chris,

Really fine and generous offer from a true gentleman.

Now tell me does the same offer apply to me considering my Granny's cat died the other week and I am also feeling a bit down?

Absolutely Andrew! It so happens my neighbour's cat had a litter just the other day and they're looking for good homes for the kittens... You're most welcome to come and pick two... One for your Granny and one for yourself.
