Good evening everyone,


My name is Forrest and I am new to AH.com! I was referred to you guys by Mr. Wayne from AHR.

As I’m planning my first hunt in Africa for hippo in 2026, I’m always trying to gather information on good outfitters as well as experiences and feedback from those who’ve been.


I’m also a collector of big bore rifles as well! Love them and get all I can when I can! Of course for hunting and practicality I have a Winchester Model 70 chambered in 416 Rem Mag which handles and shoots awesome!


Looking forward to reading and learning the content here as well as getting feedback from members!


Best regards,

Forrest

Welcome!

Hippo for your first trip to Africa - that’s great! Has it always been a bucket list animal for you?
 
:S Welcome:
 
Nice to meet you guys! I live in Gulf Hammock, FL. About 25 minutes north of Crystal River.
I live in Ohio, but own land just down the road from you close to Cedar Key. The village of Rosewood if you know where that is.
 
Absolutely! I hunt hogs there regularly
Got a BUTT-TON of them on my place.

Next time I'm down there I'd enjoy meeting you. Maybe dinner at Betts Big T in Chiefland. They have the best fried catfish, swamp cabbage and peach cobbler in Florida.

Stick around, you'll like this place.

Sir, I will gladly take that 16 gauge off your hands. I was waiting for your Winchesters but I'm a sucker for a 16 ga.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.

How much brass are you looking for?
