470 fathom , makes it sound easier ,mike
will need a heavier grapple hook and some long heavy chain
so I can direct onto the hard bank and the tow it down hill and hopefully hook straight on to it and pull it off backwards .......
sound esay don't it ......

was dreaming of Africa , wanting to get back there , and not watching what I was doing and towed to far, when it happened .

Hey mate,
How are you?
Have really enjoyed reading your thread on the 416WSM... really good stuff!
Hey, I noticed that you were at the SSAA Eagle Park range... where about in Australia are you?
Just asking because l'm based in Geelong and l frequent Eagle Park a bit too.
Next time your down, let me know if you want to catch up and say hi (y)
Take care bud

may I suggest Intaba Safaris in the East Cape by Port Elizabeth, Eugene is a great guy, 2 of us will be there April 6th to April 14th. he does cull hunts(that's what I am doing) and if you go to his web site he is and offering daily fees of 200.00 and good cull prices. Thanks Jim
Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
