Dan

Thanks for posting your photographs. Of course I had no doubt whatsoever about your past hunting experiences.

Also Dan and I have exchanged gifts in the post. He won a small competition on NE.com and I sent him some magazines. He kindly reciprocated and sent me a couple US ones we don't have over here. So I know he is a real person and probably most (

) of what he says is on the level.

But it was too good an opportunity to try to put this matter to rest. Also I really dislike long term members of these forums being badgered, accused of all sorts of things, called liars etc.

Hopefully our 'friend' "Wynwood1" will take his own comment about leaving to heart as seriously there are hundreds of other forums where he would be welcome. Actually he requested to be removed so it was voluntary, but in any case a breach of the members code of conduct occurred (actually quite a few such as using fictious email addresses for the application).

I would like to ask NE.com members to leave it rest there. As the ex-member has no right of reply, it is better the matter finishes here.

On the plus side we get to enjoy Dan's elephant photos again. And with your plans for 2005 (lucky bugger) hopefully we will see a six-pack more at the end of the year! I think you are really planning to give your Searcy .500 a work out.

So doubly thanks.

Dan,

a very convenient tree, I think.
