| one of us |
Most of the time what we hear about Walter is from our host  ....who I believe may stretch the truth a little at Walter's expense.  What I would like to suggest is that somehow we get Walter to come to Dallas for the convention  so we can get his side of the story without embellishment from anyone. Wouldn't Walter make a great attraction at Mim's booth and just think of all the older women he would attract.  After all being Walter's sponsor to Dallas would be a lot more fun than the last person sponsored on AR.  DB Bill aka Bill George | ||

DB that sounds like a plan... Mike | |||

Bill, That is a grand idea...I will go to dallas just for that...I'll even by the single malt Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

From what Saeed posts, given fair warning, at any time that Walter happened to be in the USA, or even overflying our airspace, I would plan to be in Mongolia hunting sheep. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Walter in my booth? Sure..why not...Barnum and Bailey's Greeatest Attractions on Earth! Step right up boys and girls and see the bearded wonder...just one thin dime for some of your time....I wonder how soon I would have to start drinking before the convention starts? I wonder if Walter can screw up a Tuffpak?  You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family. | |||

The U.S. gov't will not let Walter inter the country, if he brings his Witch Doctor's outfit. The EPA, that is.  IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Maybe Walter can organise a ( reunion ) at the October Beer fest in Munchen // that might be a good way to get to know him and sample the beverages on tap (-: Peter | |||

Seeing Walter in person would be worth the cost of an airline ticket to Dallas. 577NitroExpress Double Rifle Shooters Society Francotte .470 Nitro Express  If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming... | |||

Gentlemen, Believe me, you do not want to be associated with Walter in person! Dwight has been asking me to attend one of the bench rest shoots for a number of years. As soon as I said I will turn up with Walter, he started making excuses for us not to go. To the extent that he said he will make sure he is out of the country when we are in the US! | |||

I really think Walter should be protected as much as possible. Just think if he weren't there to distract Saeed and the others while on safari there wouldn't be a buffalo left for those of us who still want to give them a go. Walter "IS" the conservationalist of the year! DB Bill aka Bill George | |||

They could put him up at the astrodome and he might qualify for the 2000 dollar debit card. | |||

I think a "Golden Walterhog" would be a great annual prize for a member at AR. Sort of like a Hollywood "Oscar". Could be one for the biggest troll. Hell one guy is going to have a shelf full. One for the best story. One for the biggest bullshit artist of the year. The possibilities are endless.  | |||

Well NitroX, that's us out of the running, unless there's a Golden Walterhog for wine appreciation! Cheers, Dave. Non Illegitium Carborundum P.S, have you tried some of the 'deerstalker merlot' yet? Cheers, Dave. Aut Inveniam Viam aut Faciam. | |||

How much is the trophy fee on a WALTERHOG? How do you measure them, and is a cities permit needed? They may be totally protected, because there may be only one left in the world!   ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||
