Dru,
Good show old boy!
Sounds like a fine time was had by all, a tale such as this is always a pleasure to read.
I hope that a frosty cold one tasted never so sweet!
I am reminded of hunting cape buffalo with only my guide.
A tiny local chap, not a day over 80, who spoke not a word of the queen's english...
We were following a wounded bull into the growing African dusk.
The sun does not linger on the savanna, it falls quickly, and darkness is surely a death warrant,
both for the buffalo as well as yours truely.
Between the bull and the lions who were surely following us, my trusty .458 seemed like a child's toy.
Oh! what have I done?
My very life was in the hands of our lord, only my stiff upper lip and some luck will bring me home tonight.
All because of a trophy....
