Default Re: Enjoy your local safari park

In the late 80's, I was stationed in Germany at a USAF 'NATO' base. There was a German civilian who had (what they now call a 'bucket list') a craving to hunt rhino's in Africa. He spent a HUGE sum of monies to fly to Africa, hired a guide/tracker. and proceeded to fulfill his lifelong (?) dream of taking a rhino. Long story short, he was taken to where rhino's were, one was pointed out to him, he snuck up on it and sighted it up, the rhino charged, he fired, and MISSED! The rhino killed him. Stomped him into mush... Chalk one up to the fact that sometimes, the animals win!
