If any one else subscribes or received a Copy of the May/June Sports Afield but there is a very interesting article about Hatari. I've always been a JW fan. I'm not sure if any one else here participated in the JW estate auction earlier this year but it was interesting even if the sales prices did reach the far side of sanity. If you get a chance to see the article it's worth reading.

Just watched hatari this weekend. Great movie, but it bugs me that they lowered their rifles to their waist to reload.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

It was a movie. Loading with the rifle lowered is indeed foolish, but is practiced by many more people than you would think. It is usually accompanied by the shooter lookig to see the effects of his shot.
I am not an expert, but have been taught from an early age to reload with the front site at least, on the game.

Hollywood. Don't want the rifle blocking the handsome faces.
50 years? I've got fifty under my belt these days.

A good friend is hunting with Jan Olefse as we speak. Jan wasthe animal handler and is featured in the article. Really neat person that is very humble in person.

JWs beret from "The Green Berets" sold for $179,250. Wow The hats sold for insane amounts. The auction catalog was very cool as you could read the letters from the stars to JW. I was bidding on a couple of Laurel awards (McLintock and The man who shot liberty valance) with photos of the plaques by JW in his office. Bidding went past the point of nuckin futs and that doesn't include the buyers premium and freight. I can't even imagine what his guns would sell for. There was a gun store receipt for a .22 and a AR from the early 70's that went for over $1,000. Dave
