Will, I find your racist comments distasteful and unnecessary. ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

At the risk of changing the subject somewhat, I'm curious about something. If you read the travel advisory type statements on the internet about Zim it sounds definitely like a high risk place. But in reading here there don't seem to be many problems. I'm wondering if maybe the situation or status or something having to do with being about the business of safari hunting puts one in a different league or somewhat above those kinds of concerns. Hopefully what I'm getting at is clear enough...as I would like to try it at some point. Oh, and in keeping with the political theme, if it had been John Wayne instead of Kennedy being inaugurated, then the Marxist potentate in Havana wouldn't be meeting the one from here. See, it can be said while keeping it based on principles... | |||

Just don't get seriously injured there. Make sure you have Global Rescue if you hunt the place. Tourist hunters are usually always shielded from the bad Africa, anyway. And plenty of it is just that. Bad. | |||

Definitely one place where traveling with a Professional Hunter or Professional Guide is money well spent. There is a lot of beauty and a lot of ugliness in Africa. Definitely not the best place for a naive tourist to be roaming alone.

If you want to go to Africa and find a duplication of the place you call home then you will be very dissapointed and probably makes you a very narrow minded individual. If you think Africa and Zimbabwe is a bad place then don't go there. Stay where you perceive it is safer. That will leave more hunting  to those with an open mind and the intestinal fortitude to try something different. | |||

I have driven all around Zimbabwe four different times. Not once have we had any problems. Either from the people or from Police Road Blocks. The PH and I were armed with handguns at all times. We did maintain a higher level of security in the big cities, but no more so than I do in the US. Criminals are the same everywhere.... BUT.. I found the people in the big cities or in remote villages to be very friendly. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

As a distinct contrast, I have gone through Jo'berg every time staying 2 nights at the Afton House. They worry about the vehicle getting stolen at the Airport when picking up their hunters. While in SA the Afton House is very particular where thay take you. They provide an excellent service. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Zim is like any other country. Most of the folks are decent and genuinely nice guys. But it is when the trouble makers get the young toughs whipped up into a lather that the trouble starts. The basic problem with liberals/fascists/communists is that they think they are better than everyone else and everyone else needs to be controlled. So they run around telling everyone how terrible they have it and Big Daddy is the one to take care of them. And so it starts ... ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

I do not know why there is a discussion on weather Zim is safe for hunters to go to or not. It is a much safer place than any city in the so called Gods country, U.S.A. Never once has there been a hunter killed by gangsters in Zim. Never once has anybody been kidnapped. If one goes to Zim with the right attitude and not trying to be the big American hero then the officials will give no trouble at all. I do not think anyone would go hunting in any African country without being met by a guide or PH and be with a guide or PH for the entire trip. Once the officials in any African country suspect that somebody has an attitude then there will be trouble. It is not the tourists that are harrased but the locals. As for your President..... good luck, I would rather have Zuma. | |||

Totally agree. Been to Zim many times but did have a distant confrontation with "war vets" but it has been awhile. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Will, as my mom always told me the truth hurts sometimes, of course she lived before the PC times of today. That said the truth is the truth and I agree I think his policies will fail. He may be the deepest operative yet. Yes I don't trust him. You may not have like President Bush but you knew his first love was for his country, he didn't worry if other countries like him. I sure as Hell slept with out fear the last eight years, but now, who knows. Oh yea can you say Chamberlain? | |||
