My ele trophy crate was impounded some months ago due to a clerical error by Zim Parks. USFW agreed to allow us to ship it back to Zim and apply for a whole new permit process. Outfitter report, Parks, everything. Driving to Portland airport early in the morning to retrieve the crate. Some of our AR members thought it was a lost cause, others wanted a follow-up. Looks like we beat city hall this time!

Congratulations! No finer trophy than a pair of tusks in a man's study! 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. | |||
