Greetings from East Tennessee!

[TN_Farmer]

Never thought I would say this... but I'm going on an African hunting safari!

I've dreamed of hunting in Africa ever since reading "The Short but Happy Life of Francis Macomber" by Hemingway and "Death in the Long Grass" by Capstick over 25 years ago.

I recently won a safari at a Ducks Unlimited auction with Kuche Hunting Safaris in South Africa. I was a little skeptical about winning a donated safari, but I really believe in the mission of Ducks Unlimited. I thought if the safari didn't pan out, I was supporting a great organization.

However, after doing some looking, I realized that Kuche is very reputable. I understand the dynamics of a donated hunt, and I honestly think it's part of a savvy business plan on their part.

So, it looks like I will be doing a plains game safari!

I've been doing a lot of reading on this site for the last few weeks.
Looks like an amazing community with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Glad to be here!

Greetings TN_Farmer,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

When you see Africa for the first time, you’re going to turn a double back flip.
I sure did.
And Ducks Unlimited ya, I totally agree with you on that top drawer conservation outfit.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
