Getting back to the original question. I know what it will be but have been asked to keep it confidential.

The good news is that I can be bought.

The bad news is that I can only be bought with next weeks guaranteed winning lottery numbers............. or perhaps with Nganga's left handed .500 double!

It has to be Boddington on Fulton and only available to those who are certified over 18.

Mate,

I'm gonna give you you shit in a good humoured way until I get to fondle that double.... even if it's just once!

I love good rifles but rarely covet them.... however, I covet that one.

Get used to it my friend!

Very interesting how this thread turned to mud slinging. It's always those select few individuals that know very little facts but draw very big conclusions.

I refuse to get in a war of words on any forum. For one I'm not a fast enough typer, and two, I prefer to see what people will say to my face because it is typically far less than they will say while hiding behind a computer screen.

That being said I've tried very hard to stay away from responding to this one, but Ivan, Craig and Dave have become very close friends of mine, and those who will condemn them truly don't know them. Before you throw stones at anyone, get the facts and apply some common sense.

I will tell you those three men try very hard to project hunting, conservation, and the total outdoors experience in a positive light. Yes, it is how they make a living and therefore they HAVE to promote their product which does promote self many times. It is no different than many other industries promoting their products and services.

I'm on here often for a variety of reasons which does include promoting my services as a taxidermist. No secret that thinking outside the box is often times the difference between being successful and not being successful.

Now that I've probably said way to much and taken way to much time from my busy day, I will walk away with my final thought... Approach any of these three men and get to know them just a little bit and you will likely have a change of heart about slinging mud their way. Are they perfect - no way- but neither is anyone else I've come across including myself....DAN

good afternoon gentlemen ,
just back from africa - as usual at this time of the year evenings getting cooler , game starting to gather at waterpoints -

i must say i read through this thread and though i only come in way after all the excitement that i feel craig has done a lot for conservation , at the end of each and every segment we try hard to find an educational tip on an aspect of safari preparation , an aspect of conservation or an aspect of biology , anything that promotes knowing more about the animals , area and conservation of what you are hunting i feel is good for conservation -

brett - i appreciate your openness and i understand your opinion , yes i must say that was crazy to get on that elephants head - the last two elephants before that with that same client he had shot in the back of the head and the angle cracked a tusk , he had seen that move somewhere and asked if he could do it , i said yes only if you have correctly brainshot the bull (knowing that it would be dead ) he did brainshoot it and so i let him do what he wanted to do - would i do it now - heck no - but yes i did it ! as far as being compared to sullivan , thats okay with me , everyone has their own right to an opinion , of course i think i hunt differently but thats just me

lane , yes there is a list of who killed what as far as self defense - i have killed quite a few animals that were very close and would be considered self defense however they were the animals that we were intending to kill.

As far as animals that we were not intending to kill that i had to kill in self defense , i have killed five , in 22 years of PHing - predominantly elephant - i am not sure about others but thats my number.

all this being said gentlemen, i know craig pretty well , he is a great guy to be around , a great wealth of knowledge in himself , his books, articles and dvds make great reading and watching , and i am proud to be associated with him -
