GUESTS: Caden and Colby Davis-guests of Dad, Ward.
SGT. REPORT: Colby said Sgt. John was struggling and needed help. Ward paid. Dan paid for his Africa trip. Pat F. paid for just being present. Randall H. paid for a reach tax. Doug, Jay and Dennis paid for talking while the Sgt. was in charge.
PROGRAM: Dan Power provided an impromptu program on his recent African hunt. South Africa was his destination for big game. The weather was dry; the temperature was in the 50s to 70s; and the terrain was rocky with cactus. Tall boots were in order to deal with the puff adders and cobras. But Dangerous Dan was in the hunt for a sable with horns of 40 inches or more! His guide had him pass on several big possibilities until the record sable was in sight. If you have seen all of Dans trophies, you know he is not going to miss. End result, a sable with record length horns of 44 inches for Dans collection! Since Dan was so successful on his trip, his attention turned to bagging springbok and bush pig. Check and check, these animals were added to the game bag. Dans only difficulty was air travel back home. Delays and baggage snafus were a part of the process. But all is not lost, Dan landed on a flight with the AMBUC Executive Director coming in for the Great Plains Regional Conference.
