JudgeGThat was worthy of Orson Wells and "War of the Worlds".... except, Wells didn't intend to be a meannie.
A Bit About Orson and War of the WorldsIt was funny, though. Poor Retreever. I wish I'd thought to do it....

JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

MJinesYou may have more than one of us after you over that one! Be careful messing with guys that that think a "light" rifle is a .375H&H. I opened this post so fast it blistered my clicking finger.

Me too!
I bet there is quite a bit of collateral damage on this one.

Nicely done.
Cheers,

Walter looked at the title, and started shouting; "OH SHIT! OH SHIT! Saeed is going to get MAD!"
Horst "Saeed is ALWAYS mad at you!"
Walter " He is going to get mad at the SELOUS! It is sick with WMD"
I came over to look and suspected it was a joke.
Now Walter and Horst are in a heated discussion on what animals "manufacture" anthrax - which Walter keeps referring to as WMD!
He also added "may be we should WMD this guy SBT for playing such a nasty joke! He could have given me a heart attack!

Jaco HumanIf I was on my way to the Selous and I saw this post , my heart would have attacked me.
Never the less it is a good one.

Stop worrying, everything will be fine. I think a couple more pranks will be played on you before you leave.

It will just make the trip so much more memorable.

Enjoy.

Hell, you got me on that one too!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

What a prank SBT........I almost fractured my finger opening your thread. Wendell may the revenge include barbed wire and whips
18 July 2006, 19:39
Jaco HumanTo include a whip and barbed wire in SBT's punishment is a little to harsh.

Strip him naked, paint him with honey and syrup and tie him to a ant mount.

He might laugh his butt off.

Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer.
Got me too. Look at the number of times the post has been read. I jumped on it because we had an outbreak of anthrax on our ranch in Southwest Texas and it literlly wiped out our entire deer population. We went several years and would only see a few bucks a year and almost no does. Now it has been 6 years and our deer herd is still down and our buck to doe ratio is really out of whack. We did not shoot a single deer on the place for 3 years and only shot a couple off the place that were really old bucks the last 2 years. If it says Anthrax,,, I jump to find out about it! Got me,,

SFC E7Have to say thanks for this one...not much to laugh at over here but this made my day!

I thought this would be pretty funny and I knew there would be hell to pay. Wendell is right about revenge and I will be fearful now through at least Dallas!
All kidding aside. For those of you with lion on the menu in Tanzania I truly hope it works itself out.
Mike, your a good sport. Have a great hunt!

Frank MartinezTCH, TCH, TCH! You are sooooooo mean. And after all that practice and preparation Mike and others have been going through.
That has to rank right up there with some of Saeeds' pranks.
Good one.
