Heck Tom we would have to go $1,500.00 ea to take it from Jack, then he would go higher? I am still not sure we can do this?? Is it okay Randy

And if we can't I can always save some of that money and go see RedFrog and hunt with him up in the North lands

To beat Jack, you would have to bid over $2000.00. The way I understand it, the hunt for for one person. Please feel free to contact Lochi about more people. The top bid stands at $2000.00. The auction ends tommorrow at midnight!!!!

Let me put some perspective on this.
Yes, officially it is for one person only. If you bring your buddy or your wife that would have to be paid for as an extra. However, let’s be logical about it: this is a donation, not a money-making ploy, so I shall be very reasonable on extras.
For example, travel costs are not affected whether we are 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 people, because we use my truck and not public transport. Transport is one of the main cost drivers on any South African visit. (Our vehicles and gas are substantially more expensive than in the USA). And how much can one person now really eat in a day if we mostly go self-catering way? What would typically have to be paid for as substantial extras, of course, would be accommodation on plains game hunting concessions, if the bid winner elects to do that – here it costs per person. Or access to game parks and tourist destinations – any expenses that goes by number of individuals.

So, as far as my basic offer of varmint hunting is concerned, your extra costs will be dominated by your air ticket to South Africa.

Looking forward to be the host of a PM member!
Lochi.

Nice going Jack - you'll love the treatment you get over there. The hunting's pretty good too!

Thanks Randy, & Lochi, for the needed info. I guess Tom, that Jack and his wife are going to see Lochi in Africa... We always have next year

Well, Jason? If you got the money honey, I'll find the time. We can pool our bid to win the hunt. As a "team". Like Lochi said, we'll work out the differences (for 2 people) when we get there. We can pool $1250.00 apiece and raise the ante to $2500.00 right now, if you are game?
What's in your wallet?

Well I am out of this one Tom....

Come on Jason, you know you wanna go!!! You and Tom would have a blast!! Looks like you were ready to $1500.00 earlier? Theres always the magic plastic! Just a few more hours left!

C'mon, ju con do eet! What were you saving that ten grand for anyway? Retirement?
You'll be too old to have any fun with it by then, anyway. Probably just blow it all on groceries and medicine.

Soooooo, who won?

We can't wait to hear - is it Jack or did he get beaten?
I'll be back at this pc on Monday.
good hunting,
Lochi.

Congradulations to Jack Roberts!! Looks like he's going to Africa!! Jack has the winning bid of $2000.00!

Hey Jack – you are de man! – congrats and welcome to the jackal infested Dark Continent.
Thanx for your generous contribution to PM, and your faith in me. I shall pull all stops not to disappoint you.
Bringing your wife along is an excellent idea. So far I have not had one client’s wife regretting having come along. There is a lot for them to do and see here – and my own wife loves playing hostess. For sure I shall not abuse you on costs for extras.
You and I will now make direct contact to talk about dates and other things.

Looking forward,
Lochi.
Ps. Of course we’ll keep the board up to speed with all our evil plans. Speaking of evil: I’ll try my best not to expose you to the local evil elements – not mentioning any names, just follow my eyes (ask DesertRam for personal advice about avoiding the plagues of Africa – jackal teeth and ….. – eisch!)
Footnote: “eisch!” is a local expression for anticipation of severe discomfort.
Huh??

Lochi what are you talking about?

There is already a special batch of Jackal Teeth made for Jack.

We have to initiate him the proper way.
