Read an email a friend just sent me about this.

Seems that Devlin Ryan Carton-Barber, a 27 year old PH from SA was murdered just outside of Kruger National Park. He had been hunting with some American clients and then took them to the park for some photo oppourtunities. He heard something outside and went to investigate the sound, and was shot by the gunman and died in his wife's arms (a wife of 2 years). Her purse was stolen which contained not a single Rand.

It seems to happen too often, I have read about this type of thing happening to PH's, Outfitters, hell even park rangers in Africa. Maybe all of Africa needs to re-think their gun laws, because just like everywhere else, the bad guys don't give a damn about those laws. I know it happens everywhere, but, it is not only the dangerous game that seems to wanna kill these guys. Let them protect themselves.:mad:

My condolences to the family.
 
Sorry about that Jerome, When I read the email from my buddy he made it sound like it had just happened.
 
No need for an apology... Thanks to you for keeping us all informed!

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
