79 years old and still at it - 08/06/21 01:11 AM

Spent 3 weeks in South Africa with my dad. He knocked off some life long dream animals and started the tiny 10.

He completed his spiral horn slam and the dangerous 7 this year. Plus 3 more of the tiny 10 to add to his 2 that he had before and want to try for the last 5 next year. So he can complete his tiny 10 on his 10th safari.
