Erik: you asked a question as to where I heard the term Old George.
I read it somewhere, it stuck and a few of my friends an I refer to cape buffalo as "Old George" now and again. Nothing of importance just a term surely nothing more than Mogumbo,Cappy,Sharky,Black Death, etc.

JPK: my final reply in response to you as it seems you're more interested in arguement to entertain yourself than anything else.
If you think you read any post by me on World.....something or other you are mistaken. I do not nor have ever visited that site. BTW I'm vexed as to why you never sent me that PM asking for directions to my home on the East Coast. You seem rather intent on trying to discredit an old man, could it be you realize you will be the fool if you do show up? Sitting down for a jigger of Wild turkey looking at some stuffy old mounts is still a comfort to an old man so please do. Also if you would've ask Phil you would get the reply about where HE & I plan to hunt buff with OUR BOWS! Reading that forum should have informed you to what my carry arm is as well for DG followup work both here in AK and abroad ( a custom 10ga SxS 3 1/2" ) or did you skip that part?
As for your opinion of inadaquate weapons for George...well let me just state they are like a part of everyone's anatomy, we've all got one but some of us try not to act like one! A lesson you would do well to take to heart!

500 you have asked several times to see pictures of my den or trophies. I have said I am away from the East Coast presently but will be back "home" in mid to late June. Upon further thought your constant requests seem along the lines of JPK. for that reason alone I have decided to just say "bugger off"...I am long past feeling the need to "prove myself" to the internet sorts as yourself, Those decades you ask upon (45-70) reach back to era WWII when safaris were truely safaris and just getting across the big salt pond was time consuming. Think what you may, rationalize whatever you wish in regards to me, matters little. I will however extend the same offer to you I did to him...PM me with your request to stop by my home in Pa d I shall reply with directions/dates etc.
Good Day to all!
