Leaving for Namibia Tomorrow
Leaving for Namibia Tomorrow
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.

I'm sure you'll have a great time!

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

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!

THAT TEXANWhat 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

You're on Michael. My 500 should be ready when I get back, we'll have to go put a few rounds
through it, and then you can buy a few rounds
