OK Elton,
You're right about saving up and not being able to get ahead doing so. Bwana Jim told me he was thinking of raising his price to $5,050 to cover the cost of having his shoes re-soled every year.

Don't be surprised if he doesn't answer or you find excess charges on your phone bill after speaking to whoever answers the phone.
I'll be posting the real hunt story in a few days. Had a great time, better than I could have imagined.
Steve, I can arrange a lion hunt for you if you like. Let me know.
