OT-I'm out of here for a while......
Guys, I know that this is off-topic, but I just can't hold back the news
that was just confirmed this morning. I am packing up my wife Janet, my son Jim and my cameraman Randy and on July 2, getting on board an airplane. Sometime on July 3, I will be getting off said airplane to begin a 14 day safari in South Africa! This has been a dream of mine since I saw my first Johnny Weismueller "Tarzan" movie at age 5, that was 43 years ago. And now, I'm heading there with my .300 Win Mag, my .50 caliber muzzleloader and a bow to shoot a warthog and various plains game animals with Andrew McLaren Safaris in South Africa. How cool is that? -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

If you haven't already, this would be a good time to invest in a good digital camera with a good zoom (10x) and plenty of batteries and film AND some good binoculars. I spotted 2 mature bald eagles the other week perched right above 1 another (just feet apart...directly north/south of each other) that would have made an unbelievable picture...but I forgot my digital camera! -- Dwayne E.

Good Luck and have a safe trip. So does that mean we are eating exotic meats at the Northwoods Classic? |
Steve Best of luck.

"gwilber" wrote in message oups.com... Good Luck and have a safe trip. So does that mean we are eating exotic meats at the Northwoods Classic? Unfortunately no. Customs regulations do not permit importation of the meat. However, none of the meat will go to waste. What we do not consume while on the trip (I've been promised a Wart Hog Stew that is not to be believed), will be donated to local food pantries and villagers. I might have some black bear steaks left, but I'm not so sure, it is pretty tasty stuff. Never fear though, you won't go hungry on Saturday night at the Northwoods. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |

Steve,
You give so much to so many, both professionally and personally. We're all thrilled this life long dream has come to fruition. Not being a hunter (and not being a judge of those who do) I hope you shoot at a zillion animals and miss every one of them grin. And that you will still have the time of a life time. Can't wait to see the pix of your misses. Be safe and Godspeed. -- God Bless America Josh The Bad Bear |
The only thing I can think that would make the trip better, would be not
having to fly in an airplane! See (or hear) from ya when you get back! "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ... "Charles B. Summers" wrote in message ... Kill something there for me Steve!

How cool is that? Very cool. Just watch the diet and what you drink. Don't need no nasty bugs coming home with you or the family. Is that an inline muzzleloader? I just got me one so I can tune up before the (white tail) season starts here in the Fall. Got me a T/C Omega. Taking a large game critter in Africa with a muzzleloader, that is surely gonna be a blast. Never been good with a bow, and when "gun" season starts...sheesh. The woods are too crowded to hunt decently...so I'm going to give black powder a try for a while since it is wedged in between the bow and regular firearms seasons here... http://tinyurl.com/duod4 is the one I just got. Looking at scopes now... Enjoy the trip! -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
Dang! I am jealous. I have several authors that I read about African
hunting. With Capstick being a favorite. I have his films too. Would love to go someday. Carlos |
Have the best fun you can, and bring me back one of those gals I use to see
in the National Geo when I was a kid. ;-) "Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers" wrote in message ...

It was nip and tuck there for a while, but we're finally going. If there's anyone from the group that's going to be in the Atlanta area this weekend, let me know. I'll be there from about 9:00 in the morning on Saturday until 7:00 a.m. on Sunday when I have to get back to the airport. Maybe we can get together and swap some lies. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com |
