I heard a rumor that Fred was back from Bots and shot a nice ele. He's only got a couple o' days to get on these forums and tell us all about it. After that I say we get the guilt gremlins to work on him. -Steve --------  www.zonedar.com If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning DRSS C&H 475 NE -------- | ||

Mark (AKA 400 Nitro Express) heard from Fred in mid-April (he called from a SAT phone) and reported that his Holland brought down a 70+ Lbs elephant and that he was changing areas for leopard and plains game. Haven't heard anything else. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

I got an e-mail from him earlier this week. He's back and promised photos. Probably trying to catch up on the home front before getting sucked in here. -Steve -------- www.zonedar.com If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning DRSS C&H 475 NE -------- | |||

Here's a little sneak peek.    Fred's out of town for a bit but said he'd fill in the blanks when he got back. -------- www.zonedar.com If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning DRSS C&H 475 NE -------- | |||

Excellent, Fred! Congratulations and well done! 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.

Those photos are fabulous! I called my wife in to see the bwana with his ivories and she commented "boy, those are some nice ivories!" "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

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......

Fred: I see what you meant about the tusks. They really are beautifully shaped. Very impressive. ------------------------------------------------ "Serious rifles have two barrels, everything else just burns gunpowder." | |||
