I've been retired and living in Northern Nevada for the past three years, grew up in Ohio, but worked most of my life in California after the Navy. I just started hunting about ten years ago...but have been a firearms instructor and small arms armorer for more than 20 years. Started out on pheasants with my old Lieutenant and his wife and then deer in Missouri at the home of one of my Navy pals.

I joined this forum to get some insight on what to expect hunting in South Africa in a few weeks.
