Great opportunity in my opinion. Luke runs a great operation and it would be great to hunt with Paddy Curtis, I've only had lunch with him once on another of Luke's concessions in Masailand. Seems like a great guy and he has a lot of history.

Unfortunately, I'm hunting in Tanzania most of the month of October, couldn't possibly turn it into September and October. Otherwise, I'd jump on this.
