My missus finally decided last August she likes getting behind a rifle.She hunts and loves to pull the trigger, as I’ve discovered over the past 4 years! I’m not sure who’s more excited about the upcoming trip, she or I.
Which camp are you staying at? We stayed at 3 Rivers last time, Sable Valley in 2027.
All the PHs have a terrific sense of humor, get ready to have a lot of fun. Those dudes are great. If you get really lucky, you'll have Franco. Franco is just a total practical joker.
We're out on our first afternoon there after wildebeest. He, of course, is unarmed because, well, wildebeest. We're putting the sneaky sneak on one, and we hear one behind us in the undergrowth, snorting. The missus is getting a little nervous.
This is her on the first afternoon hunt. Pay attention to the shirt she's wearing.
Says she to Franco: are wildebeest dangerous? Will they charge us?
Says Franco to her: well ma'am, we're not really sure why, but they seem to get particularly aggravated and aggressive by the blue/gray color.
I could just tell by his tone something like that was going to come out of his mouth, so I turned away so she couldn't see me starting to laugh. She looked down at her shirt and her eyes got as big as dinner plates, then Franco and I both started laughing.
The missus and I are going to giggle about the afternoon of 21 August 2024 for the rest of our lives. And that's what it's all about, after all: the memories.
