I HAVE BEEN OUT OF POCKET AND WAS CATCHING UP ON THIS SITE EARLIER TODAY. I SEE WHERE SOME KIND WORDS HAVE BEEN SAID OF ME. FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE BEEN ON 11 HANDGUN SAFARIS, NOT 13.

FOR SEVERAL REASONS, NONE OF WHICH I NEED STATE HERE, I QUIT SUBMITTING RECORD BOOK ENTRIES TO SCI MANY YEARS AGO, NOR DO I FEEL ANY NEED TO DO SO NOW, BUT I DO NOT MIND IF OTHERS WISH TO RECORD THEIR TROPHIES, TO EACH THEIR OWN.

Perfect!

WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH AWARDS BASED ON HOW MUCH SOMEONE HAS SHOT AS MANY TIMES IT IS AN AWARD EARNED WITH NOT MUCH MORE THAN A FAT WALLET. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE HUNTS I HAVE BUT I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF GUYS OUT THERE WHO HAVE SHOT LESS BUT ARE NO LESS, AND MANY BETTER, A HUNTER, SHOT, SPORTSMAN AND/OR OUTDOORSMAN THAN I.
