Shakari,

I'll repeat, I'm not trying to crucify Mark, just the opperator.

I am aware that there can be some extremely few and rare legitamate reasons for a nessecary but unexpected move. None apparent nor even remotely likely in this case.

On Zim comms, well, I dunno, just ten minutes ago got off the phone confirming a "last minute" Zim hunt with "my" PH, who set the hunt up at my request, made maybe two weeks ago, during which intervening time the PH was in the bush. We'll be hunting three tuskless and a bushbuck in Chewore, a trophy bull and two tuskless in Makuti as well as a leopard there. Huny dates Oct 1 - ? I need to be back in town for a business obligation the 21st.

Non-export bulls were also available elsewhere in Zim.

There is still elephant quota available in Zim, so moving the hunter to a non-scheduled area back then and not having ele quota when hunters who have paid for an ele hunt arrive was particularly weak, don't you think?
