Four weeks and counting!
Yesterday, I received the little yellow "hall pass" for yellow fever, along with typhoid vaccine, Hep A and tetanus. I also got the script for Malarone. The rifles are shooting great. All purchases appear to be made and I am going to spend this morning double checking against Terry Carrs' checklist.

Counting off the days till I am slipping through the brush of Lobo Serrit with Brian Van Blerk looking for that one good buffalo.

Ooh, how the hours move so slowly.

Lorenzo,

I am taking a 416 Rigby for the heavy stuff and a 7mm Rem Mag for the light.

The "must haves" are buffalo, grants gazelle and zebra.

Depending on availability and trophy quality: wildebeast and EA Impala and warthog.

Thanks, Hugh

Good hunting Hugh, I know you will have a great hunt in Lobo! Smack a big one and take lots of pictures. Your .416 Rigby is a great choice!

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!
