Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Try the Fish and Chips at the "Fish Monger". Definitely worth the money. Have a great time.

BigFiveJackHunt Well MIKE! Once again it's proven, if traveling on commercial
airlines to Africa a .375 H&H has GOT to be one of the rifles that
you choose to take with you. Only God knows when Mike will have
450#2 NE ammo in his hand that will shoot well in his FAMARS.
Jack
OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}

bull1Hey Mike...see if they still have a plaque in my honor at the Fish Monger for setting the record on how much shrimp and beer a North Carolina boy can eat in one sitting!
I'll be there in seven days and I'll give it another shot.
Seriously, best of luck to you on your quest for leo pantheros. Make a nice kitty out of him!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
