Bill and his son have just hopped on a plane in Bulawayo for their return to the US. We have just completed one of the most exciting and rewarding hunts I have had the privilege of being on. I do not want to steal the stories as I am sure Bill will post his report pretty soon. Not only did we shoot a nice old crocodile, and a trophy bull elephant ( with storybook ivory ), but we had 2 unprovoked charges, one from an elephant cow in the thick Masampa Jesse, and the other 5 clicks from the Ume river by a hippo in some of the thickest riverine you can imagine, ( I will let Bill tell the story as it is only fitting considering he saved his own life ). I hope they have a safe trip home and I eagerly await his report and photos. Mart martinpieterssafaris@gmail.com www.martinpieterssafaris.com " hunt as if it's your last one you'll ever be on" | ||

Hey Martin! Good to hear Bill and his son had a super hunt! Look forward to Bill's hunt report and pictures. I thought Bill was due to hunt around this time frame... 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. | |||

Slow down a little Martin and save some of those "life threatening" experiences for Bwanamrm and I this fall. Counting down the days! Congrats on a great safari...sounds like the beginning of a very rewarding season! "How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing less will do" -- Invictus | |||

Where there's blood spatter on someone's mug, you know there's a corker of a story coming down the pike! Looking forward to hearing all about it; always enjoy your detailed reports and great accompanying pics.______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Whatever it was, hippo-goo, or cast-off mud, or projected hippo-snot...I'm not sure, but my Ruger and I were painted with it....and it really buggers up a contact lens, guess my eyes were wide-open!  | |||

I'm with Lorenzo. Let's see it Bill!!! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF 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 | |||

It must have taken forever to get the hole dug for that ele kill trap. What did you use for bait, a pile of bananas? Take your time, Bill, and don't be missing any details in your report, now!  ______________________ Hunting: I'd kill to participate. | |||

Interesting look on your face, Bill. Very keen to hear the full story. Not that I positively check all the time, but I have never seen a wire rub on the underneath of a tusk before. Is there one on the upper side of the other tusk? Write fast, Mr. C. Milo. | |||
