With my dad unable to hunt anymore my mother wanted me to start getting some of his guns cleaned up. It’s a sad day, we have not hunted in 8 or 10 years but time marches on. Here are the first two I picked up this weekend.

Pre 64 30-06 that dad bought in spearfish South Dakota in the late 50’s.
Heavy duck gun Model 12 3”magnum. He bought it as a graduate student at Southern Illinois University in the mid 50’s.

All of us will face this one day…I did with my dad. However my dad’s 30-06 had a cracked stick but I ended up replacing it. My dad is now gone but I will be using his 30-06 to take my leopard knowing he is smiling down from heaven seeing his son doing something he always dreamed of but never did

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
