Well the gear is checked and rechecked, rifle shot one more time just to be sure and I am good to go! Sorry I won't get the chance to visit with any of my AR buddies and PH friends in Dallas and Houston at the shows but I am leaving this Wednesday for Benin to hunt buff and roan with Club Faune. Will do an in-depth (I am sure that elicits some groans because I can get verbose)hunt report when I get back with pictures and the whole nine yards. BillC will be following me to that part of the world as he leaves for his LDE hunt the last week of January. Report from the camp is good numbers of game but hotter than usual with lows from the mid-60's to highs in the mid to upper 90's! Great, just like home! Maybe Al Gore is right. They have just kicked off the hunting season and I am one of the first hunters in. Get ready for sticker shock... everything is in euros and the details are running me $2500 more than planned because of the dollars decline but... dailies shot up for next year to 60% more than I paid this year! Youch... so I guess I am glad I booked when I did. You guys and gals have fun and don't do or buy anything I wouldn't... see ya when I get back! Cheers, Russell On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | ||

Have a great hunt and best of luck, hope you bring back some super trophies and photos of course.  Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

I have a friend who recently left Benin because he, as an African, couldn't do business there because of rampant corruption. What else is new. | |||
