With our yearly family hunt my son took his friend Dewald along to hunt his first Impala. A week after we returned the house of Dewald's parents were burglared and Andre and Daleen were both shot. Daleen recovered. Andre passed away last Friday after 2 months in ICU. A memorial sevice will be held for Andre this morning. Please take some time to say a prayer for this family and a young hunter that will have to grow up without his dad. Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips.

Jaco, they're in my prayers like so many other South Africans also suffering losses in this violent period of senseless crime and murders in our beautiful country. Please pass this on to the young Dewald:

My condolences to the young man, and his mom! My hope is Andre is now on a long safari in good hunting land! My prayers are to have the perps find themselves on death row where they can think for a while, before the axe drops, about what they did to innocent people! ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

What can you say about a situation such as this. I do believe those that perpitrated this crime will get what coming to them in the end. Our prayers are with the survivors.

 I too add my prayers for the survivors and that this behavior is seen less and less till extinct, of course we'll see "THE RAPTURE & THE SECOND COMING" before that "extinct" part...  Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||

Jaco, I can and will do more than just pray, yes, that also, for young Dewald. Please tell him there is a grandfather in the Free State who invites him to come and hunt a springbok and steenbok and whatever here as part of the normalization and so required healing process. In good hunting. Andrew McLaren | |||

Gentleman, Thank you for all the prayers that was made for the family. Dewald will spend the afternoon with us. I have printed out all the replies and I will give it to him to read at his own time. Thank you Andrew and Mike for your generous offers. I will make contact with you in future. Between us We will arrange something for Dewald. Again thank you for supporting this family in your prayers. God Bless you all. Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips. Through Responsible Sustainable hunting we serve Conservation.

Wimpie, You're on. The Windhoek - no more SAB Beers for me - will be cold. Cruiser fueled up, spotlight connected, Cecilia's meals ready, bungalows prepared. Just bring Dewald, the mouth and electronic callers and the varmints will suffer a severe depletion in numbers. I'm looking out for a nice territorial steenbok for him. Springbok are, as you well know, "trekbokke", but there are always some in my area! I'm sure that between you, Jaco, Mike Smith and I [as well as other AR members in South Africa who has simply not seen this thread yet, and would offer help as soon as they become aware of the situation] we can make some positive difference in the life of the unfortunate young orphaned Dewald.

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

my condolences to the young man. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family. "one of the most common african animals is the common coolerbok(or coleman's coolerbok). Many have been domesticated and can be found in hunting camps, lodges and in the back of vehicles." | |||

Wimpie, I'll pitch in R500.00 for the fuel for your trip to the States (OFS). Let me know how we can do it! Sad and bad. Jaco, please give my condolences to Dewald. I experienced a similar loss years ago, and a hunting trip with my brother saved me from going crazy back then! I hope you can do the same for Dewald. On a lighter note, Andrew, I hear there is going to be a housing shortage in the Free State with all you boys coming back to earth after the weekend's "slaughter"  Charl van Rooyen Infinito Safaris Charl van Rooyen Owner Infinito Travel Group www.infinito-safaris.com charl@infinito-safaris.com Cell: +27 78 444 7661 Tel: +27 13 262 4077 Fax:+27 13 262 3845 Hereford Street 28A Groblersdal 0470 Limpopo R.S.A.
