    Kudu hunt for my late father

    That is a beautiful rifle, and a stunning impala. I read this quote recently that made me feel some comfort: “And thou shalt see those whom thou lovest in the eternal light” I hope to spread some of my dad’s ashes if/when I harvest the kudu.

    Definitely going to try and avoid the "In the moment" feeling of looking at a great animal. Trigger finger discipline! lol Thank you for your kind words.

    Kudu hunt for my late father

I booked it with Chumlet Safaris for mid may this year. I'm not well off by any means, and this might set me back for a while, but you only live once, and...
