I definitely felt very lucky. I just felt bad for Mr. Bob from Wyoming, who was such a great gentleman but sadly only saw 5 bulls on his hunt and did not get a chance at a shooter (he was in camp right before me). Hoping he gets a great bull with his next hunt.
Buzz loves the Heym and said it has served him very well. The Shikari is unfortunately tied up in Zim import bureaucracy and is still in impound in Harare; I was disappointed I didn't get to see it, especially the Croc engraving on the stock oval! I'm pretty sure he'll put it into service next season.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you. Believe it or not, that hat is 27 years old and has now been on six safaris! Originally made by Priest Hat Company, Idaho, and then cleaned, re-shaped and re-steamed three safaris ago by O'Farrell Hat Company, Santa Fe, NM. Good beaver fur hats are a great investment. I read recently that quality beaver fur actually stays cool even in hot temps, and that has been my experience as well.
Thank you!Congratulations! Well done
Ha! Not in my singing voice, I can promise you.
Think you may have to send it back to the engravers to get the name officially put on! Thanks for the great write up. What boots are you wearing and what did you do with the rest of your time?
