Its going to be a good month for us that not going to Africa anymore this year. Bundukis Zambia hunt, dogcats bongo hunt and Will Parks Savé hunt and probably the best writer of them all Ernest Zim/Tanz hunt.. Why go to Africa at all when you can get it all here Big Grin

Good luck to you and your daughter Judge.

Emmy and I are sitting in the Sky Club at ATL. I flew up to Atlanta from Brunswick and she successfully negotiated TSA (with her rifle.... first time) and met me right on time.

We fly out on DL 200 at 7:20 and will r.o.n. at Afton tomorrow night and then on up to Vic Falls where Russell will meet us and get us to
Gorges Lodge. Two nights there and playing at the falls (Emmy wants to bungee jump... weird child) and then to Matetsi 3 for her first DG hunt. It's a cow, but still a buffalo and she's looking forward to getting close and personal.

I'll try for a tuskless.

We'll each have a p.h. and she'll have a videographer.

Can't wait.

Thanks for the good wishes.





JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Judge, I've stood on the platform on the bridge they bungee jump from. It's a long way down to the river! Compared with that the buffalo hunt should be a walk in the park. Best of luck to you all.

The operation can be quite expensive but my wife is throwing out some second hand clothes if you want them?

Good hunting Ernest! And my best to your daughter too!


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

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

All safe at Afton Guest House. Guns and SAPS no problem. Flying to the Falls at 10:40 in the morning.

Good to back in Africa!

Judge,
Bring Emmy to DSC in January...but warn her she'll probably have at least a dozen "fathers" watching out for her.

She'll be back in Dallas next year for sure. She had a great time last year.

We're presently in Vic Falls and tomorrow we to to Matetsi.

Emmy is going to either Zip Line or do the Bungee Jump. She's crazy.
We had a seamless trip here. No problems with SAPS or flights. Guns were timely arriving, etc.

Looking forward to find a tuskless!


Thanks for the good wishes.

Zip lines are a blast. We did one in Costa Rica complete with Howler monkeys.
