PlaidDad here. (Madison, Wisconsin is exactly as described in the subject line.) Glad I found this! My wife and I did a couples safari to Limpopo in 2018. She didn't know why she wanted to go until I showed her pictures of African Sunsets. She is the Sunset Queen! A month before our hunt, she announced that she wanted to hunt, too. First day out, she and the PH stalked for 50 yards and she harvested a beautiful Impala with one shot from the 308 at 135 yards. Her comment, "What's the big deal?" I got a beautiful Kudu, Red Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest and another great Impala. We are hoping to go back soon! I posted an ad in classifieds for a Blaser R8 barrel and magazine insert, 375 H&H Magnum.
 
Welcome to AH PlaidDad!
 
Welcome to the best forum! Just back from a week in Martell, even went full Wisco!
 
Glad you found us! Strong work taking your wife and glad you both had a quality adventure. Best wishes moving forward towards your next safari!
 
:S Welcome:
 
PlaidDad, lucky you!! Having a wife that has seen Africa in all of its' beauty and no doubt likes it. My question for you is, when are you going back? BTW does your better- half hunt in Wisconsin as well?

Welcome aboard.
 
Welcome. We were in your neck of the woods last summer at Taliesin My wife is from Racine.
 
Greetings PlaidDad,

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

My wife too loves Africa.
Although not a hunter, she indeed is more fond of fishing than I am (and I do enjoy fishing).
Furthermore, she has no argument against hunting and several times has asked me to try for this species or that, in order for her to have it sent to a taxidermist and then festoon our house with whatever it is.

Anyway, I shall look forward to your hunt reports and especially any of your pictures you care to post.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Thanks. I am enjoying AH a lot! I have a question. I posted in Classifieds and want to edit the posts, but can't figure out how to do it.
Welcome from Waukesha County!
As far as editing, you only have a few minutes after posting to edit (10 maybe?)
 
Welcome aboard! Indeed please come back. Those African sunsets get in your soul!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
