Hunting Trip to Vredefort.

Richard's boys are all married now and have families of their own, so it has been many years since they were those little boys he guided and coached through their first hunting trip.

Oupa Richard and Dameon

After a few weeks of enquiry and finding the right place, Richard was ready to surprise Dameon, the grandson with a hunting trip with the "Big Guns"

He has shot before on our own farm but this was a different kind of hunting trip.

It's the excitement of packing, travelling and setting up.

It's the enjoyment of the stalking and waiting for the right time, for the right shot.

It's the stories of the long shot and the bad wind that made the shot near impossible.

It's the squeamishness of the skinning and seeing that nothing goes to waste.

It's the satisfaction that all was done in respect to the animals.

Well done Oupa Richard and Dameon.

We can't wait for the biltong.
