I am leaving for Namibia tomorrow morning to hunt leopard and plains game with Vaughan Fulton.

I need to thank some people: Wendell Reich for all his help and answering any questions I had, Saeed and Don for this excellent forum, T.Carr for his packing list and tips, and all the members who have helped me along the way and helped fuel my desire to hunt Africa. cheers

Mike,

I'm not taking the 500 on this trip. It is at JJ's getting some sight work, a recoil pad, and a mercury recoil reducer. I'm taking it to Zim next year for buff!

What Lee didn't tell anyone, is that his girlfriend Shannon ask me to go along and keep him out of trouble. Two Texans in Namibia. Like that's going to happen. See everyone when we get back.------Bill
