Im Sorry - must have missed this - that said, there is some. Hike to the bottom of the falls, go see some lions in the preserve on the Zambian side. I know there is a bunny jump and zip line but never being too much of a fan of African engineering, I have always passed! haha
 
Can I find your books in the CookBook section at my local Library? If not, where?
Shit I doubt it - they are all out of print and honestly written when I was young - not sure I would plunk down the couple of bucks for them even used. How is that for a ringing endorsement?

That said, the biography I wrote for Michael Waddell is interesting - as it is his story that I simply wrote down and organized. It is a pretty incredible rags to riches tale.
 
Bad gun advice of the week: I bought two guns last week I simply have no need for but couldn't pass up.
1. A modern AOW pen gun - being transferred now
2. A B&T Hush Puppy Glock with wiped suppressor

Oh and I forgot another impromptu purchase:from January - a BRNO from the 60/70's owned by a Tanzanian PH buddy of mine in 375. Full PH working rifle that "somehow" he got out of the country. I couldn't pass up and it is easily my least regret.

While I regret the first two when the money is forgotten, Ill enjoy owning them haha
 
I have a .300 weatherby and a .270 weatherby. Do I really need a 7mm mag Weatherby? All are Mk V with synthetic stocks.
No.. you don't... I have a .300 Weatherby Mk V back when they were being made in Germany.. it also has a Weatherby 2x7 scope on it... Great rifle if you're a one rifle kind of guy!

Do you still have it?
I do, LH bolt. Weatherby 2x7 scope. It was my first bolt rifle I bought as an adult and I used it on everything.. caribou, elk, black bear, mule deer, blacktail, whitetails, antelope.. after my oldest son Wyatt was born I had it completely restored (reblued, refinished) and when he's of age and the time is right I'll give it to him to hunt with me.
