So sorry for the loss of your friend Mike. Though I did not know him, I will raise a glass in his honor.......

There was a one hour show broadcast here in the states about the incident Wayne referred to. I believe the show was called "I Survived" and was on The Discovery Channel. (I'll look it up) The ordeal Alistair and his friends and family went through was terrifying to say the least. Alistair must have been one tough man.

Strangely enough I just got sent this by a mate...

So sorry to hear, and my sincere condolences to you Mike and to Alistair Gellatly's family.

This has been a terrible year, way too many death. I remember seeing that show, but didn't know who he was then.

He died in 2015...
 
My bad Mike, didn't see the date, just your recent post. I need to pay more attention to the dates.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
