    I'll admit it. I've fallen in love with Africa as so many others have. Reading books on hunting Africa while growing up by all the greats did nothing but fan the flames to one day see what it was all about.

I raised them by myself and they had started going hunting with me at an early age. Both are avid shooters and hunters. I contacted my elder daughter Rachel who loves to hunt but she explained she didn't really care to travel to Africa. I can respect her views but wished she would have been receptive. Then I contacted my younger one, Annie.
