Just flipped through it, haven't read the article, but I thought some pictures in the new issue looked familiar.

A very enjoyable article which was even more interesting because we know a little about you.

As an aside to the hunt itself, I liked the subtle dig at SAA.


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Well Steve, you know us aviators and our low egos, I had SCI send me about 12 extra copies Smiler. Palmer, I was glad they left that dig in there regarding SAA, as I figured most that have suffered that ordeal would appreciate it! jorge

Congratulations Jorge!

I insist on the form, the prose. Jorge has had a wonderful hunt but one never will say enough that he has a way with words, a talented writer. Even an ignoramus like me is jubilant when reading his prose. Note how short and dense are his posts. thumb

Read the article this past weekend in between watching b-ball games, 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.

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!
- Rudyard Kipling

Jorge - Congrats on what looked to be a great safari with John Sharp. I have known John for quite a few years now, quite an interesting chap I must say. Good article in Safari magazine as well.

Fellows, I'm really not trying to keep this thread going, not at all, but I feel compelled in continuing to thank people for the nice compliments. 500gr, you are too kind, the buff ain't the best out there, but I tell you what, I earned him! BTW, good news on my trophies, they finally made it to the taxidermist so hopefully by mid-summer, I'll have some pictures to share of the finished trophies. Thank you all again and on second thought, if this posts helps John Sharp get some business, I'll feel very gratified. I really wrote that article for him, I felt I owed it to him for giving me, me wife and my best freind, the adventure of a lifetime. jorge
