    Maybe all of us will just kind'a hang out till you get back! Ain't much else for us to hunt, you know, here, in B.C. where we have to hunt, cuz we ain't got the money to go to Africa, like them rich folk! Take lots of pictures, and most importantly, have a great time with the family!

    Where about are you going in South Africa?
    One rifle - one planet - Holland's 375.

    People are like balls of yarn, for the most part they are boring and useless - but I still get a lot of pleasure watching them unravel!! (GC)

    That's awesome, our family owns land near Tshipise (east of Louis Trichard) - we are going back next year to hunt. - My dad has a Cape Buffalo lined up on a cousins farm near aldays on the Limpopo river - can't wait.

    I hope you have a really great time.


    How are you getting there? Via Europe or via the States?

    We are thinking about flying to Chicago, then boarding a SAA flight from there to Cape Town. We have done the Europe trip so many times we are tired of it, now we are looking for a different (easier) route!
