Wendell ReichI think Rusty is in jail in Zimbabwe. I believe he has been there for two years ... unless someone gave me bad info ... it has happened before.
This is second hand info ...

swamprat257kid,
There are a few words about Rusty posted just a couple days ago, look for his last name...I TRUELY enjoyed my hunt (only 1) with him and his crew. He is in prison. I believe his brother-in-law is his contact now in ZIM. Contact Bill Scheg, Genesee Valley Taxidermy and Shooting Supply, he's on the WEB.....for more info...

ibexebiGanyan,
You nailed Spike right on the head... he is also a lot of fun in a casino with a belly full of adult beverage.
Ask him about the effects of a "dying rabbit" call for lion.

ibexebiGanyana,
No No. Spike, Charlie Campbell, Chris & myself were dragged out less than vertical by my lovely bride.
We recovered well enough to really put on a show in the lobby of the hotel at about 4 am.

Giraffe HunterI have hunted with Spike, Charlie & Chris last year and I highly recommend them to anyone. I had hunted with Spike in 2002 as well. You can contact
Contact Bill Scheg, Genesee Valley Taxidermy and Shooting Supply if you need more information about booking with them.
I have some funny pictures of Charlie from January when I took him to the shooting range. He was outside in 4 degree weather with about 12-14" of snow shooting at clay pigions.
All of the guys know how to have a good time and it makes hunting with them truely enjoyable. I am planning to do it again next year.

ibexebiGiraffe Hunter,
I don't push it much around here, but I also book for them.
In fact I just spoke to Charlie briefly yesterday, they still have plenty of PG opportunity for the last part of this year, but buff are about off the table for this year, unless some one cancells.
