Back to Africa again
22/06/15 04:19 PM

Well it looks like I'm off to Africa again, albeit in 12 months time.

Things have been very tight for me lately (last couple of years) and I thought it would be a long time before I got back over. I was wrong.....

My first hunt over there in 2001 was with my mate, Jason. He was married and had three kids. He couldn't afford to go, but I wanted my mate along. So since I was earning reasonable money and had no financial commitments at the time, I paid for his hunt.
Jobs done, a great time was had, etc etc etc.

At the SCI dinner this year he starts bidding on a hunt in South Africa. It was for 2 hunters and 2 non hunters for 6 days including trophy fees for 4 animals. I looked at him and thought WTF are you doing.
I assumed it would be he and his older son hunting and his wife and youngest son non hunting. Well, he got this hunt at a stupid low price and I said I'd have to get Cameron's (his oldest boy) rifle organised.
Him "Cameron's not hunting"
Me "who is then"
Him "you"
Me "Mate I can't afford to throw in with this, I'm broke"
Him "You did this for me 14 years ago, now it's my turn"

I'm not ashamed to say I had a tear in my eye.
