So... My passion has been, and most likely always will be chasing upland birds throughout the Midwest. That's what my dad did, and I always wanted to do whatever he was doing. My son now follows me, but hopefully will avoid some of my bad habits.
I was introduced to Deer hunting late in high school by friends and other family members. Unlike today, deer weren't plentiful when I first started hunting. I do love to chase them, just not the same love I have for the birds or the dogs that find them for me.
Now to this new, or should I say, unrepressed interest... I can't call it a passion yet, but have a feeling it will come to that....
Back to dad... One of his dreams as a young man was Africa, but it was always out of financial reach. He passed those dreams on to me, but also the impression of the Great Expense. So I left it for what it was, a dream. That is until a gentleman I work with showed me pictures of his last Safari. I asked how long he had to save for that, and that's when I found that My dream could become a reality well within my means.
I rarely do anything without a lot of research, and this forum is AWESOME for just that.
My first African experience will be in 2017, with many more to come!
