Here is a quick test to see if I did it right.

You wouldn't think May in South Africa would be wools socks and campfire weather.



All said and done I can't recommend http://www.wildgamesafaris.com/ in South Africa highly enough, they really went out of their way to make sure our hunt was the best it could be.

Wow, great pics! The more I hear about Africa and the more pictures I see, I am starting to think I would really enjoy a hunting trip there.

@Sean:

Is that a suppressor on your rifle in the first of the "after" pictures? If so, did you have trouble taking that to S. Africa with you?

Thanks

It is a suppressor but I rented the gun from the PH and that's his suppressor. I figured for the cost it made more sense for me to rent a gun than to bother with all the paperwork. We were talking about gun laws when they found out I worked at a gun store, it turns out that even though it takes them over a year to get a gun they can just walk in and buy a suppressor just like they were buying a scope or a sling, no problem, just pay and go. Just goes to show that even though we get gun laws mostly right, there is a lot that America gets wrong.

Truly one of my all time favorite podcasts, and it came to me at the perfect time.

I have wanted to go to Africa since I can remember.  I just like the idea of being out there, getting African dirt on my boots.  I want to see it all...experience it all.  I want to hunt the same ground where the very first people hunted.  But I always relegated the idea to the realm of fantasy...I never believed I could afford to go.

But just a couple of weeks before the podcast, I had been talking to a buddy of mine who said he wanted to hunt Africa, and I shared with him my lifelong dream, and that I had always considered it just that...a dream.

My friend challenged me to come with him, and start saving now...even just a little bit every month...and we'll see where we're at in 5 years.  So I started a special Africa savings account, and I'm working on it.  I don't know how realistic my chances are of pulling it off, but I have decided to try.

Then along came Michael's podcast...right when I needed it.  It brought Africa to life in my mind, and re-ignited the desire to go.  I listen to Michael's Africa stories over and over to remind myself why I want to do this...I want some Africa stories of my own.
