Nothings good enough for you that's why this has gone on for 5 pages. Let it Die. I'm demanding, that's why I've had a lot of success in life.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Envious of a dead person?
I'm neither a writer nor a professional hunter, so I have nothing to be envious of when it comes to PHC.
PHC was a good writer, but according to Toltecgriz, a guy who shared a camp with him, the stories are more fiction than a reflection of what actually happened.
Why would I care what anonymous people think of me, either positive or negative? More than once I've told detractors that I've been called worse things by better people.
I hope that you have a safe and successful hunt in 2022.

Who gives a bleep about whether or not PHC was in the US military?
I remember in 2011 when we took a shortcut through some tall tan-coliored grass in an attempt to intercept a herd of buff. I heard the low sounds of lions grunting in the grass, and immediately thought, "Death in the Long Grass." Later we encountered some baboons and I brought up the scope. I thought about "a strange feeling of ancestral murder at the back of my neck." I shot and missed.
PHC was a giant. I wish I had met him.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

it doesn't matter what anybody says he was a great author and i loved every book he wrote that i read, and it made me buy his books. it has made me want to go to Africa but i never will. it's just like Clark Gable in the movie Magombo, super cool! who really care's if it was made up, movies and books are done to entertain and he did just that!

I bought a nice second hand 375 H&H Sako V (which I still have) after reading his books because even though I'll never go - I have a rifle that could be used there.
Sounds crazy but it's the closest I'll ever get.
I enjoyed his books immensely and still reread them and it takes me right back there.

PSE, that doesn't sound crazy at all. I don't know if PHC's stories of using a 375 H&H were a big factor for me, but I'm sure it helped! For what it's worth, my Kimber Caprivi .375 may have been bought primarily to kill a Zimbabwe buffalo, but it has done yeoman service since then on everything from hogs to nilgai and even a puny Texas whitetail doe! This is a caliber and rifle that will do it all. So enjoy yours, and who knows? You may be surprised at what happens. My first safari happened when I was 61, and I never thought I'd be able to go. Now I've been twice.
