Gentlemen, and Lady Ann, thanks for the well wishes. I am really looking forward to this trip. It is my second Safari to Zimbabwe.
I have been on Safari with my videographer Ian before, and have spent a fair amount of time with my PH Dale Des Fountain.
Ian and Dale are friends from Harare in Zim, the 3 of get along great so it should be fun.
After all the whole point of hunting is to have fun, with a little of adventure thrown in.

Judge, see you soon.

Good hunting!!!

I am happy when we will read more from your adventure!

Tony, and Judge,
I hope and pray that your hunting adventues be all that you both hope for! I hope that you both have a memorable hunt! Good luck to you both!!!!

Hope you old retired guys can still run when you have too

Good Luck!

Man I hope the helium doesn't leak, else you will have lots of ammo weight problems. Great idea if it works out.

Folks:

Tony and I had a great trip from Atlanta to Jo'burg. He had an empty seat next to him on a bulkhead and I had two empty next to me without a seat in front (so lots of leg room and even enough for a "bed"). During the flight, we'd check in with each other every few hours and have a scotch or two. We both got lots of sleep and ate breakfast together. Both of us were so darn excited sounded like old hens in a coop, just constantly clucking about various nonsense. We had a few toasts to Saeed, Don and the rest of you folks who make this site possible. I'd never had the pleasure these past few years of knowing Tony (or his even being on the same plane) if you folks didn't make it possible. I'll take a sip of Bell's to you know, btw!

Optima met me at the end of the ramp (but not Tony for some reason) and my transfer to Zimbabwe was seemless. I'll post more about my hunt when I get home (I'm in the Premier Lounge now) and have a plane in a few minutes, but needless to say (since I'm already going home), there is one less elephant eating maize tonight.

There just is nothing better than the thump,thump of a .470... followed by a earthquake shake of an elephant hitting the ground at 16 yards.

I've got some good pics, too.

See you first of next week!

Wish me extra space on the Spam-Can back to ATL.

Congratulations Judge!! I can't wait to read the report.

Great to hear you will posting another successful report. Can't wait to read it.

Congrats, Ernest, and I'll be looking forward to hearing from you when you get home.
