Well, the first glitch in my hunt occurred last night. My flight from SLC to Paris was 3 hours late leaving. We were actually sitting on the runway when the pilot announced a mechinaical problem and we returned to the gate. End result was I arrived 30 minutes late for the final flight and am staying in a nice
Hotel with free dinner, breakfast and shuttle to airports. Brian and Daniel will pick me up and we will essentially lose 1 day of hunting. Really pisses me off but shit happens. I called Cam from here and he contact Daniel on
Changed arrival. It's interesting that the mess is all on Delta shoulders. More to come....

Just think of it as a convenient way to get over jet lag before you get started. Good Luck

Jerry is probably away from the internet so I will answer that. He is hunting Buff/Roan/LDE with Cam Greig's self-guided outfit.

I think he plans to hunt 2 areas and fish a third. He is in for the time of his life, I recon!

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

Best of luck and Godspeed Jerry! Hope you bag what your looking for!


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.

Yes, he sure did. He was planning to read it as he got ready to leave(smart guy).

BTW, I am several chapters into your second book. It is a great read!

What's the cop gonna tell you when he pulls you over for speeding? Same thing fits this delay.
"you shoulda left sooner" Right?
Enjoy your hunts and return safe n healthy.
