Thanks to Mr. Capstick, I've joined this forum and booked my 1st trip to Africa

@Hunter-Habib Thank you kindly! I have read and enjoyed many of your well written post in my 3 months of lurking on this site, and I appreciate the warm welcome.

Hello all!

I am 29 years old, and enjoy the outdoors in about every way. Hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping are all favorite past times. Although I never really dreamed of going to Africa, I wasn't against the idea. Then I started listening to Peter Capsticks books, starting with Death in the Long Grass. I was immediately captivated, and eventually wrote Africa down as a bucket list trip. After talking with my wife I found out she was terrified of going to Africa, so I wasn't sure who I would end up going with someday. Then one day I was talking to my mom, and we were discussing bucket list trips we wanted to do. When I mentioned Africa, she told me she used to flip through my dad's hunting magazines and read the Africa articles and would dream of going there. I was very surprised at first, because she has never been very interested in hunting, (although not against it at all) and then I told her we should make it a reality. A couple months later after lots of research we have a trip booked with CT-SAFARIS for July 2026 in SA. My biggest priority animal is a Kudu, and hers is a Zebra, although we both have additional animals on our list as well.

I have already leared a lot from this website, and enjoy reading the hunting reports.

Thanks for reading and I'm glad to be here!

I made my first safari at the age of 28, in 1983, and yes, I had read "Death in the Long Grass" too! You're going to have a great time!

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
