The thought of going hunting in Africa is something that my dad and I started talking about, about 10 years ago. We would discuss what animals we would like to hunt and when and where we should go, but of course work seemed to always get in the way, so we always said “one day”. Unfortunately my dad passed away 4 years ago so his “one day” never came.
I am excited to say because of this forum I was able to find a nice hunt package offered by @3S Safaris so in less than a month I will for fill mine and his dream of going on safari in South Africa.

So sorry your dad can’t be with you. We have to “seize the day” because the day is only here once.
 
Very sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I wish you the best of luck on your safari!

Exactly!! I have a new perspective on life nowadays. Lots of people think that “one day” will always come but it may not for some.
 
Go for it! I lost my dad 9 years ago and truly sympathize with you. He taught me to hunt and about guns. I spoke about him in Trophy the film in how I wished he was here to see me hunt the Big 5. Maybe I should write a book: From the B.B. gun to the Big 5 my life as a hunter.

I have no doubt it would be a good read. I’d buy it!

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
