I have just learned that the legendary PH and conservationist Tony Seth-Smith died on November 21. He was of a very old family in Kenya, and had an incredible career and life. He was a hunter with very few equals.

I had the opportunity to spend time with his son, the late Martin Seth-Smith on safari in 2019 and Martin told me many wonderful stories of hunting with and being out in the bush with his dad, and I got to handle Tony's Rigby 450 NE, which his mother gave him.

If you do not have his book, For the Honour of a Hunter, I highly suggest you get it. It is one of the very best.

Wow, what a life, will be missed. Prayers for the family.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
