Mrs Blacktailer bought me an RSA PG safari for my 50th birthday. I wasn't going all that way and not hunt Buff.
Buffalo, first animal, first day. Cool
No pictures because by the time we got him we were miles from the truck and my camera. Frowner

62 and PG in RSA.

But I think the record must be from my taxidermist, Joe Kuhlis (now retired), who took all of the Big 5 before he was 30---with a LONG BOW.

Life is short. Hunt hard.

PG
Namibia in 2010

Fell in love with Africa.

Went back two years later to Zim and followed that up with three trips in the last 18 months.

Addiction is a terrible disease....says my wife.

Me 62 years olds and the fulfillment of a life long dream.
My daughter 21 years old and quite an experience for her.
Hunted SA in 2013 for PG with Iliwas Safaris and it was fantastic.

I want to return but not sure if I can do to $$ and age.

Daughter plans to return also and bring her husband who is a hunter also.
