Hope this comes out. Nice to be 12 years old on first safari with Dad! 1983 in Kalahari.
Sam, you need to put the story with this.
Best regards, D. Nelson

CougarzThat must be a very nice memory.

Thanks for posting D. Nelson.
This was part of a 21 day safari that took place in the Kalahari and Cuando with Terry Palmer. My father and I shot 20 + animals which never made it home, including this full mount black mane lion. I guess it turned out the taxidermist and shipper were crooks. I don't remember all the details, but we have pictures and GREAT memories.
