Hello all. It has sure been a while since I last logged on here, though not from a lack of interest.

I was treated for lymphoma a few years ago, and everything seemed to be back to normal, but then I started having the worst chest pain. I initially wrote it off as acid reflux, which has always been a problem for me, so I tried to ignore it. I then started having trouble breathing and the pain started radiating to my shoulder and back, so I thought I was having a heart attack.

Back to the doctor I go, and of course my heart is fine, but they find a 7cm solitary spiculated nodule in my lung, as well as spinal metastasis.

To make a long story short, after many rounds of treatment and quite a few surgeries, I am (somehow) still here.

With that said, everything in my life feels as if it has sped up while I have just slowed down, so keeping up with everything remains a challenge.

I am also coming to terms with the reality that, unless I start feeling much better, my window of opportunity to hunt Africa and get my Kudu has probably closed. Therefore, I will be checking in here when I can to live vicariously through you all.

Before anyone starts feeling bad for me, I am doing just fine, my wife thinks I am even more insufferable now than before, and I have no plans to retire (or expire) anytime soon. I am still traveling for work, for crying out loud!

Anyway, that was my long way of saying that it is always a pleasure to check back in with you gentleman, and to remind you to take every opportunity to hunt that you can!
 
Glade to read your still kicking, I'm sure you can sneak a Kudu or more in if you have a clear window !
 
Go after your Kudu! Book that hunt, and go!

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
