A safari that never came to be for my family and myself led me to join this forum.
In 2016 my dad was fighting cancer and purchased a hunting trip to South Africa at an NRA banquet auction. He, myself and my brother planned to go. Unfortunately, dad became too sick too fast and the trip was never realized by us. I was bitten by the safari bug and have not given up on going someday.
At that time I went out and purchased a Cooper 30-06 with a nice wood stock, a classic cartridge for Africa. I have used that rifle to get a couple of whitetail and it reminds me of my dad and the trip we almost went on. I recently used that rifle hunting with my own son and got to thinking about a safari with him. So I began looking around on the Internet and, here I am, a new member to this forum.
