paul j rainey estate

[charlie cleveland]

here while back i found a fella with a hammer double rifle in 9.3x74 r it is a very nice rifle.it was said to have been used by paul j raines to hunt lions off horse back in africa.. it seems mr paul liked north mississippi so well that he finally bought over 30000 acres to use in his training of dogs and hores...he even kept live bears on the property.. was a very wealty playboy in all respects..it s worth looking up mr paul j rainey s life..his land was in tippah county close to new albany miss. he was one interesting fella for sure the name he used for his big house was tippah lodge...worth a look...charlie

I can understand needing a fair amount of real estate for training bird dogs for All Age Stakes , but for the life of me I do not know why you would need a lot of real estate for training "hores" although I think the correct spelling would be "whores" . But then 5 or 6 rooms with strong built beds should be plenty for that .

But then perhaps you might have meant to say "horse" , then I can understand the need for real estate .

Sorry I could not let it go without making a comment needed or otherwise :rotf:

yes i meant horses but you ll have to excuse my spelling..my typeing skills are not that great..the fellow was the type of fellow i like to read about his hunting was something i only will get to dream about..paul rainey actually roped a very large polar bear and brought it back alive and gave it to a zoo where the bear lived for 26 years at its death it was stuffed and put in the smithonian institute..paul even done the first movies ever of lion hunting in africa also took a trip to russia and hunted with the czar even made a film of the czars home...the guy was something else....charlie
