Thanks. It was a dream of hers since she was very young. I feel blessed to have been there with her on her first safari, Africa is an awesome place!

Scott: good on you for spending the money on a full bag. As you have already figured out, if theres an animal you want to hunt, it costs a lot more to come back for it than it does to just hunt it while you are there. Buttt�theres lots of animals to come back for�...

It is now in my blood!

This is one of the best threads ever posted in the African forum! Tip of the hat to you for getting her there and to her for the great shooting!

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.

BMD; Thanks so much for sharing your hunts with us yet again Scott and especially this one. Please send Kacee hearty congratulations on all of her trophies - the gemsbok and kudu look like grand ones to me. As many others have said, you've built memories and more important bonds that will last you both for the remainder of your days here Scott. Well done indeed sir and so good to see on several levels. Thanks again and all the best to you all this Fourth of July. Dwayne
