Niki and I returned from SA about two weeks ago and finally are getting settled back in to home. She is healing up ahead of all predictions and her goal is to be out hunting and guiding with me this fall in Montana. We both wish to extend our deepest heart-felt gratitude to all of you for your best wishes and prayers. With out a doubt in my mind it helped greatly and it provided me with huge moral support for days while we were in the hospital. Above everything I thank God that I still have my beautiful wife. The Bucking Fuffalo will not keep us down.

As I told another poster here on AR in a PM, being charged and shooting a wounded raging animal at close range and escaping with no injury is one thing but actually being attacked, injured or killed and/or seeing it is quite another. The two are seperated by a thin thread of fate but they are worlds.

My heart goes out to Paddy Curtiss and Leno Fontana and those who were with my friend Bobby Fontana and his family and friends and all the others involved in a very strange year in cape buffalo hunting. Please continue to support these fine people.

Good luck to all of you and thanks again!
