Default Father and Son Safari

This spring, my father and i hunted in South Africa for 14 days with Lucca African Safaris. We hunted in the Eastern Cape for plains game, and in the Norhtwest province for Lion, Buffalo, and Greater Kudu. Here are some pics, and we did very well, so there is alot of them....

Thanks for sharing Krafti, and congrats on a great hunt.

I've been meaning to ask you about the lion in your avatar.

I love Africa very much, I can't wait to go back

Thanks guys!

The lion is my dads, and yes he is very impressive. We tracked him in the Kalahari, and shot him at 18 yds. I have to say, things felt a little more intense when my rangefinder flashed the 18 yds as we maneuvered to get a shot.

I love Africa very much as well Tork! As does my father. He hunted in Zim last year, and I'm hoping to head to Mozambique or Namibia in a couple years. Nobody ever goes just once!
