I shared 4 quotes yesterday that are near and dear to me. I'm going to take a second bite at the apple. This is a quote I have thought about a lot over the past year. In light of the passing of Toby Keith, I was thinking about it again today. I think about it as it applies to more than just things like planning trips to Africa, though for those of us who plan trips to hunt, it very, very much applies, IMHO.

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
