I see a foil and epee in front of your SCI cert, did you ever fence competitively? I did some fencing at San Jose State under Maestro Michael D'Saro. Never was able to compete though but also did some fending with the Stanford team at their open tuesday night practices. (late 80's)

Here in Nebraska, it almost always involves barbed wire!

Sean,

Yes I did compete both nationally and overseas. I won several awards fencing in Hungary but I was never quite good enough to go pro.

In Texas, fencing generally involves a pawn shop.

Thanks Jaco,

I went with World Trek for this hunt based purely on the recommendation of a very good friend. I would definitely like to talk more with you when I get back for future hunts.

Hey, Chuckwagon,

Dont be so hard on Carmello and talking about affording him "more courtesy than...", especially after some of those stupid-assed, rude post you made to some of our Canadian cousins back on the "Chuck Adams" thread. Remember that? You may also recall that several of us American posters actually apologized to the Canadian contingent for your ill mannered diatribe, although you didn't.

I seem to recall that you went away for some time after that bunch of postings and only recently returned, acting as a jock sniffer for Ray on a thread about - Carmello - gonna kick his butt for Ray, or something like that. But, it's good to see you back and in your same form.

I guess I'm just confused.

First it was Carmello....Then It wasn't....Now it is, but really it's not. hmmm.

So If I understand correctly some one essentially stole his ID and made troll postings with his name. But how did they know he was going to Africa ? And why didn't he bring this to everyones attention then ? I guess I just dont get it. If some one did to me what Carmello is saying was done to him, and he is a Expert in the field, Why didn't he just put a end to it then ? I certainly wouldn't follow up with posting my plane ticket, phone number and personal info on the net for the world to see. It seems just as probable that Carmello is absconding with some one elses ID. I am very skeptikal but Carmello if your being honest I wish you the best of luck !

I think, in my ever so humble opinion, I, and many others here, have afforded you far more courtesy than you have shown others, here and elsewhere. In any event I wish you the best of luck.

Sir I deleted my post because I wrote it then thought to myself, "why am I even bothering to respond to this"



You can believe what you wish. I am not really interested.

I am only here to discuss African Hunting and related topics.

Certainly posts will go off-topic as they run there course. But this troll thing is not that interesting in my humble opinion. I've been dealing with it for years now and it has become tiresome. I also don't really find conversations about me all that great to read or post about either.

So I say the same thing to you I said to the other gentlemen who made similar statements.

If I am here causing disruption then you are correct in your acqusations and I am quite sure the Moderators will take immediate and corrective action. However if I am not here causing disruption then please afford me the same courtesy I would afford you and everyone else.

Best regards,

You sure deleted that post in a hurry !
CarmeLOL if you are not being disingenuine I wish you the best of luck. I'm not sure why any one would believe you after all of the forums you caused so much trouble on. It's especially difficult for me to believe anything you say after you claim no troll activity but for the right amount of $$$ you will show others how to be a pro troll.

"Howevever my own handloads average 2120 2135 fps fairly consistant. I have to admit I have never gotten the low variation with my own stuff as with the BB but it gives me an excuse to keep on handloading"

I am curious, with your 26" barrel 45-70 are you getting over 2100 fps. Would you tell me with what bullet and powder?

Thanks

Mark

I sent you a PM.
