I was in the Coffee Mill Lake area. U familiar with that area?

He tells it better but here goes:

My uncle grew up without a pot to piss in and through some hard work made it big.

What I like about him the most is that he used his good fortune to go all around the world hunting. I imagine most of us would do the same.

He's got the big five, elephant, rhinos, you name it, he's buried a solid in it.

He was on a safari in Tanzania with a PH that he had never hunted with before. They end up getting lost for eight days. A few of the hunters split off on the fifth day and found some remote village. They were dying of starvation, malaria had set in, and the only water they could find was in holes in the ground. Apparently, monkeys like to chit in the holes and they were all sick and near death. Finally, the villagers were able to mount a search party and they were rescued.

He spent the next two weeks in a London hospital bed fighting for his life. Pretty crazy story.

It's much better when he tells it after a few scotches.

I was hunting out there last week. It's not all that hard to get lost out there, lol.

Never been lost while hunting, but have been lost on Possum Kingdom and Lake Stamford after dark in some nasty storms.

Went out to check some jug lines at Stamford Lake one night with my boss and a friend in a little POS excuse for a boat. We got to the other side of the lake and the spot light died, then the boat brokedown, then a storm hit, and then a tornado warning. The wind was blowing so hard I couldn't hear anyone speak, water was splashing over the little Jon boat, and with every lightning strike I could see the clouds looking all tore up and fast moving. This was all at 10pm, and we didn't even make it back to our camp till 4am that morning.

The cold bud light I drank when I got back to camp that morning was the best beer I ever drank, and I'll never forget it.

You do any good? After I finally figured out how to hunt that place, I got a decent Buck. You gotta get on your hands and knees. LOL Sounds funny. You'd be surprised how far you can see when you get down low.

Don't you hunt without pants? LOL

I know it well. Grew up hunting there in High School and College... was a combat zone before drawings, haven't been back hunting since APH started...

I was hunting on a friends family farm/ranch of about 150 acres with two friends. The farm was in Nueces Canyon near Barksdale. The farm owner and myself made it back to camp and the 3rd friend named Mike Speed from Kermit got lost. He came out on the woods close to Campwood 5 miles away about midnight all scratched up and scared as heck.It was funny to us but he didn't think it was too funny.
