About time I introduced myself

[Chukardogs]

It's time to introduce myself. I have been lurking (like many) on this site for some time now. I have worked in the outdoor industry off and on, more on, since I was 13 years old, now 46. I hunted South Africa back in 2005 where I took 9 animals with my bow. Since then I have spent my time hunting in N. America. I am now ready to go back to Africa for a cape buffalo and have narrowed it down to the Niassa or Zambia. I bought the rifle so now it is time to get off the pot and get serious about booking the hunt. This site has been very helpful and extremely entertaining. So hello!

Glad to have anyone called chukardogs along for the adventure. Thanks for joining and best wishes on your hunt plans. Buffalo will be my next trip as well but it’s a couple years off I’m afraid. . .

It's hard not to put down dogs on birds when you live in Nevada.

Welcome chukardog, buffalo is a great ambition. What rifle do you have?

Welcome to the site from a fellow Nevadan. You are about to embark on one of if not my favorite DG to hunt! I always have time for Cape Buffalo...

Welcome chukardog, buffalo is a great ambition. What rifle do you have?

I worked for a large sporting goods retailer for 13 years and had a lot of exposure to nice rifles. I also worked with some people that had/have a vast knowledge of firearms. So I chose to go the historical American route and picked up a Winchester pre-64 model 70 in .375 H&H from a local friend/Winchester collector(boy does this guy have some great rifles). The choices are endless and I have a bad case of the wants for many fine doubles and bolt guns. I figured I would start of with a basic American classic.

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

A buff with a double would be a nice aspiration for the next Africa trip.

With one barrel or two, I wish you a one shot kill as I had on both of my buffs.

Welcome aboard. That’s a fine choice of a rifle. I just bought one a month ago in LH after I got back from my first Buffalo hunt. Sounds like you are on the right track for getting a buffalo hunt booked, mine was one of the best hunting experience of my life. Good luck and looking forward to hearing about your hunt.
