Hi Everyone! I´m Gustav from Sweden.
First of all, I am truly grateful to Craig of Rance Safaris and to Jerome of AH for this amazing price, so generous. I am still not sure I won´t wake up and find this was all just a dream.
It has been a lifelong dream of mine to travel to South Africa for a hunt just like this. Ever since I was a kid and heard all of my grandfathers stories of when he went hunting in Africa I knew I wanted to go there one day. He went to Africa many times over the years and his trophies and memories from those travels are still kept in the family. My grandfather promised me that he would take me with him to Africa one day when I was old enough, but unfortunately he got very sick for the last decade of his life so he could never fulfill that promise.
A little short introduction to me.. I live in the south of Sweden. I am 34 years old. I am a member of a local hunting syndicate where we hunt mostly for Wild Boar, Moose and Roe Deer (if you are a Fox or a Badger you should also watch out). I also occasionally go shooting (Mallards, Geese and Hares). I have been hunting in France and in Spain, and I am planning a trip to Scotland to stalk Roe Bucks.
This will be my first time hunting in Africa and I can´t wait to share this experience with the AH community!
Cheers!
Gustav
