BwanamichRay,
Maybe you can clarify this ( Iasked it under my other post but was quickly overwritten by all the thank yous

)
Saeeds' post describing the offer includes a TOPI amongs the huntable species. This cna't be correct if the hunt is in the Selous. Just so that everyone is clear....

Russell E. TaylorMany of the good things in my life in recent years have been because of the fellowship I've found at this website. I am not always (often?) a nice person, but I have been trying to be a better person, and no small measure of that motivation came because of my being here among you people. The support I got during OIF1 from those here at this website meant so much to me. Everyone involved with making this little spot in cyberspace happen is a special person, and I just want to say thanks. The free AR hunt Saeed is offering is certainly "above and beyond" and just goes to show the caliber of the fine people who operate this venture.

TrapdoorMy thanks, too!
As I just returned from Africa for the first time, I just "got in on the deal."
I can't wait for my return to the Dark Continent, and this offer has put a little hope that it just might be sooner, rather than later.

almostacowboyAlthough I'm not even close to qualifying, I must recognise the absolute generosity by saying "WOW!! What a trip that's gonna be!"
Congrats to who ever gets to go!

Thank You Saeed. I have always considered it a privelege to be just a tiny part of what Accurate Reloading stands for. This gift of a chance to experience Africa, the possibility to live a dream, is overwhelming.
Fantastic! I have learned a lot reading this site, but this takes the cake.

Thank you for your generosity. Now I'm all pumped up and can think of nothing but Africa and my job is suffering. People at work keep asking me what's the matter? Are you feeling alright? My only response is, You wouldn't understand.

WoodhitsWork travel has kept me away from AR for a while, but upon my return I saw this amazing example of generosity. Thanks Saeed for the opportunity for one of us to not only hunt buff, but for all of us to be able to enjoy this site. Good luck to all.
After a few days away, I was amazed upon my return over the great offer you have given us Saeed. Thanks for putting this together.

Thanks Saeed, et al. Odds are against me, but it'll be fun speculating with whom I can share such a trip!

surestrikeYes, a very gracious and generous act.
A simple thank you is inadequate.

ACRecurveSaeed,
Thank you! Once again you show your consideration for us!
Better tomorrows,

Saeed, even without this ultimate hunt opportunity from you, this site is the best of the best. Many thanks from South Texas, Walker

If I win, I'm taking Ann. It's only fair. She picked me when she won the buff' raff'. However, as you know, I was... "out of town"... and couldn't make it. Regardless, if I win, I'm taking her.
I'm not going to hold my breath, though. Getting TWO safaris off of this site would be WAY against the odds. I'm grateful just for the one.

AtkinsonBwanamich,
Although I have on one ocassion seen a Topi in the Selous Northern most blocks, and assumed they were on some concessions, I did talk to Pierre and he said that the Topi was on his 16 day hunt list, but only by air charter transfer, and was put their by mistake, so he would remove it and add another animal of choice in the same price range, as clients choice...
Thanks for the heads up...

patrkyhntrThanks, Saeed. If I am lucky enough to win, choosing whom to take along will be tough. Of course, my wife might have something to say about the subject.
THE LUCKIEST HUNTER ALIVE!

Mad DogThanks for the opportunity of a lifetime, Saeed! Is this hunt timed with when you, Judge G. and other AR members are going to be there? Wonder if the winner will take a .45-70[hee hee].
