I just wanted to thank everyone for the great information on this site. I have been a member for a bit, but have not taken the time to introduced myself. I live in Anchorage, Alaska now after 10 years in the bush. I have my first safari planned for September 2015 (14 day plains game in SA). I look forward to playing a more active role on the site. Thanks for having me!

Regards,

Mike
 
Look forward to your jumping in.
Welcome to the posting side.
 
Welcome to AH Mike! Nice of you to chime in and be part of the conversations.
 
Hi Mike & welcome! What outfit are you hunting with in SA next year?
 
Awesome Mike hope you have an awesome time... The most difficult thing to do now is..... Uhhm WAIT! :)

Looking forward to your participation.

My best always.

The wait is already killing me, but I'm trying to use the time I have wisely! Moose hunt in September, then more planning for side trips in SA.
 
Yup I would have done the same nothing makes the time pass to go hunting like hunting! :)

Seriously enjoy it, and look forward to your report.

My best
 
Welcome and good move going with a 14 day safari, on my trip we only had 8 days hunting, it was fantastic but ended way too soon. I gotta admit a guy from Alaska going to Africa makes me rather jealous - at home or in Africa, you're in paradise.
 
welcome huntem
me and the wife only got back sunday evening and joysie is already making plans of going back asap.
she wants to sell everything and shift over there for keeps.
you've only got the best part of 14 months to wait ,it will seem like 5 years
 
welcome and enjoy your hunt, and when you come back as you will remember there are other countries to hunt apart from SA ;)
 
Welcome to AH Mike! Glad your joining in.
 
Welcome to AH, Mike !

Thank you for the kind words. I have been fortunate to spent the last 14 years in Alaska, thanks to the U.S. Army getting me here. I went with 14 days, knowing even that would go too fast. I already have the second trip rolling around in the back of my head. This is something I have always wanted to do, since I read my first hunting magazine 40 years ago. I'm glad to hear your hunt went well!

It sounds like you had a great trip! The wait will be tough, but I hope to keep busy. The dead of winter will be the worst, but I hope to make it to Vegas for the SCI convention again.
 
welcome and enjoy your hunt, and when you come back as you will remember there are other countries to hunt apart from SA ;)
Thank you, and I already have the thoughts of a second hunt rolling around in my head!
