We had the Laurel & Hardy boys arrive in camp, when Frank Massa and Tom Aasbo arrived from the Tri State Chapter, New York. These two, hilarious and crazy characters had us splitting at the seams with laughter … and YES! they did manage to do some great hunting with PH Liam Urry. The biggest task that Liam had wasn’t about worrying where the Buffalo or Rhino were, it was trying to keep Frank quiet in the bow blinds and out of the sweet wrappers …. Hee! Hee! Frank owns a White Tail Deer Ranch in Texas, whilst Tom keeps a firm hand on the entire operation at the ranch. Armed with his trusty .300 Jarrett, Frank has to be one of the most consistent marksmen this year, taking almost every animal with only one shot! Tom did great with his bow hunting from blinds and also by doing some walk and stalk hunting. On a different point now, we can tell you that breakfasts will never be the same for our clients in camp. Frank passed on his award winning sausage recipe to Gibson our Chef, who soon had everyone eating their fingers off …. Wow! Guess it’s gonna be sausage for breakfast, lunch and supper guys …hee! Hee! What a treat it was having such humorous friends in camp on this their 1st, but certainly not their last African safari. We look forward to seeing Tom at the Dallas Safari Club show Jan 5-8 and catching up with Frank at the SCI show in Las Vegas1st – 4th Feb 2012.
