There are few recreational activities that form such a bond between a father and his son or daughter as hunting does. To hunt is a way of life. \u00a0A lot of skill is involved and the transfer of that skill from one generation to the next makes it very extraordinary indeed. Spending quality time together in nature whilst hunting has many benefits. The restorative power of nature has an impact on the bonds between family and friends.
\nWe at Fort Richmond were privileged in the last week to have two fathers hunt with their children –\u00a0Richard Mann<\/a>, from Empty-Cases<\/a>\u00a0with his son, Bat Mann and Shane Jahn with his daughter, Grace Jahn<\/a>. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"Presentation<\/a><\/p>\n

“Probably the most important part of the safari are the personal relationships you create. Lucky for me I was here with my dad, and obviously we already have a connection. Having a friend on the trip is great, but having your best friend is even better.\u00a0 We were also with a father and his daughter. It was great being on the outside and seeing what it\u2019s like to connect with your dad.

Shane and Grace Jahn.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Shane Jahn’s graduation gift for his daughter, Grace, was to join him on a hunt in Africa. It was Grace’s introduction to hunting. She did exceptionally well and enjoyed the hunt thoroughly. She was very grateful for the wonderful experience that she had with her dad. She also took a Gemsbok and a Red Hartebeest on the hunt.<\/p>\n

Well done Grace, you are such a lovely young lady and it was so special to share this \u00a0experience with you. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/i>\"Grace<\/a>\u00a0\"Grace<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Grace Jahn and her father, Shane (right) and PH Mark McKenzie on the left with her Kudu.
