Hello. Been on the site as an anonymous visitor many many times. Have learned a lot from many of you. Thank you for sharing your experience (always), your humor (often), your wisdom (more often than not), your passion (no, really?) and your patience (sometimes).
Been hunting for 40+ years in Europe and US/Canada. Experienced with Chamois (European mountain goat), Roe Deer (European deer), Sanglier (wild boar), Whitetail Deer, Black Bear, Moose, etc. Never been to Africa. Was poised to do it 20 years ago but had to send 5 kids through college; 'nough said, right? My Jules Burry .450 #2 ended up killing tuition bills instead of buffalo...
Out of that stage of life now, and planning to go this year for a cow buffalo hunt and some cull plains game. All I can afford at the time...
Shooting a Mauser 66 (telescopic action predecessor to the Blaser) in .458 Lott / Docter Sight with A Square Dead Tough and Monolithic Solids left over from 20 years ago, for what stomps; a CZ 550 in .416 Rigby / S&B 1.25-4x20 30 mm with A Frames for what bites; a Weatherby .340 / Zeiss 2.5-10x48 30 mm and a Winchester Classic 70 in .300 wby / S&B 1.5-6x42 30 mm with Nosler Partitions for the rest.
Looking forward to keep learning; maybe sharing a few things learned here and there, from the French Alps to Newfoundland and British Columbia, to America; and always continuing dreaming of THAT day.
Thank you all in advance.
