    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Kuche Safaris?

    She hunted every day right along side of me so she didn't have any time to sit and relax by herself. there was a number of wives in camp most from what I had seen were enjoying the time to read and relax. they may have went into town a couple times but not 100% on that. Justin

    Taxidermy recommendations
