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.

No pictures because by the time we got him we were miles from the truck and my camera.

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.

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.
