cr kennedy, I agree with you.
I was bitten by the africa bug over a decade ago.
That is when I didnt even first started surfing the net and realised the potential Africa has.

You see growing up in a place where there is a blanket ban on hunting and practically impossible to shoot firearms, i was under the impression that hunting was banned worldwide. And the govt. sponsored anti-hunting anti-gun propaganda... well lets not talk about it.

Can you believe while in med school, i wrote to tonnes of Ph's in SA telling them I wanted to quit medicine and work for them.

I mean I didnt even know what a resume was; just emails.

Of course i had no experience in big game hunting and they were suspicious of a guy quitting medicine for hunting. Some politely declined while most didnt even bother replying.

It seems foolish looking back and i havent told anybody about it. Writig in this forum hoping that fellow hunters might recognise the passion.

Now im in a better position to go to Africa and soon one day I shall and post pics on this forum.
I wish you all the success in your next africa trip.
