Talk about a leading question!


Matt
FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

It sure is!!!

There's the satisfaction of hunting with your own guns (why I can't get into the idea of using camp rifles).

Step up a notch and there's the satisfaction one gets of hunting with ammo you hand loaded yourself. (I don't know how to put it into words but I remember my very first trip to the range with the very first batch of hand loads I ever crafted. Got a strange sense of accomplishment for putting together the components and seeing them perform as designed. I've haven't purchased any factory ammo since with a very few exceptions being the only way to get new brass at the time.)

This takes it up another notch indeed. Not only hand loaded yourself but DESIGNED from the ground up!

I can understand how that would be very gratifying.

Exactly! This guy had been escaping from the Aberdares National Forest and chasing a landowners cattle and cattle herders. (The gentleman on the far right of the photo is one such. He guided us to the spot where the rhino was crossing the game ditch separating the park from private land.)

The rhino had already been selected for culling by the game department. I simply saved them the trouble (and paid the trophy fee into the land owner's US bank account).

The rhino is one of my entries in Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game. Measurements: 28 1/4, 11 1/2, 24 1/8, 19 1/2.

Yep that was The Happy Hunting Ground, right here on earth:


I can't come anywhere near that, but I did take the the first-ever .500 Mbogo and .395 Tatanka rifles to Tanzania,
and I slew game with them.
Only problem was I had to share a tent with Walter.
That was hell on earth.

I did visit with xausa in Tennessee. That was what you might call heavenly.

If I hadn't got spectacles in the 8th grade, I would've been riding a 7-barreled, 30mm Gatling Gun with wings across the heavens:

Now I gotta go watch more videos about hunting with a Warthog, the A-10 kind of warthog.
