Hello to everyone,

Started my physical addiction to hunting Africa in 2013.
As the rest of you know, once you go there, you’re hooked. Addicted is a mild term. Obsessed is more like it.
I now attend weekly African Hunting Anonymous meetings to deal with my addiction.
Will it ever end? I hope not

Hyena

Welcome to the forum. You won’t find any cure for your addiction here, only enablers!

Welcome to AH and the addiction.

Thank you all for enabling……
Shot my first kudu with the bow in 2013. It was a very good one. Unfortunately I can’t help myself anytime I see a kudu. I held off on my second trip. Third trip I decided to take two. Why? Because they were in front of me. What’s wrong with me?

Deer hunting in the states is great, but does not compare to the feeling you get when hunting in Africa. Gemsbok was the first animal I harvested on my first trip. I could not believe the size of the animal and the coloration and markings. I also learned a very valuable lesson on shot placement on African animals. What I thought was a double lung shot, turned into an hour and a half blood trail and long follow-up shot with the bow. Once we brought the animal back to the skinning shed, and field dressed it, I looked at the organs affected and learned a very valuable lesson.
I was absolutely hooked on the first animal.

Welcome to AH.

As far as it is concerned I believe the addiction to Africa is terminal.

Greetings Hyena,

Khomas Highland Hunting and Fishing Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I look forward to your hunt reports and especially your photographs.

You are an archer.
I can’t hit the ground with an arrow.
But one of my sons is quite good at hitting targets live or inanimate, with sharp sticks.
He’s pictured below with a gemsbok that he skewered, after a well planned and patiently slow stalk.

The other pics are his old man, another dreaded rifle grump and fishing loony, among many here.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

Thank you for the welcoming Velo Dog.
My first trip was with the bow with dreams of successful stalks and perfect shots. Go the wrong time of the year and it’s potato chips and animals seeing you long before you see them.

I did my next three with rifle and next one will be as well. Follow up shots when needed are MUCH easier with the rifle and you get to see more country. God bless my wife for sitting in pit blinds and ground blinds with me for seven days.
We did her Giraffe hunt spot and stalk with a loaner rifle and ever since it was, as my friend says, “Viva la Rifle”.
