Appreciation

[Cbourg]

Hey guys,

My name is Charlie, I have been a waterfowl and upland bird hunter and just got into big game in the last couple years. But it has always been a dream of mine to go to Africa one day and our plans are for 2025. So I started doing more research and found this forum. The guys in this forum have so much knowledge and I have learned so much in a short period of time! It’s a lot to take in all at once but I want you all reading this to know how appreciative people like I am are of you guys and what y’all bring to this site. The reports are so fun to read and seeing the success brings great joy. I hope to learn a lot more and would love to one day post a good report for you guys.

Thank y’all for having me!

Welcome to AH, you picked a great place to start your journey to hunt Africa, like you said lots of very knowledgeable people here along with great sponsors/outfitters. Good luck on your journey and I will be watching for your hunt report.

Welcome aboard Cbourg. Having guys like you join our ranks is sort of "icing on the cake." We strive to share our knowledge and experiences so that others can enjoy their hunting experiences more fully. I'll warn you ahead of time that your thoughts of hunting Africa in 2025 are likely to be updated to something sooner than that. LOL

Welcome to AH! Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have I. Planning for your first safari. Don’t let the planning overwhelm you, it should be part of the fun.

Welcome! Don’t plan too far out as those plans seemed to get pushed back. Drive down too the Dallas or Houston Safari shows. The Houston show is smaller but has a lot of African exhibitors.

Haha I will say the worst part about this forum is the torture of reading such great reports knowing it will be a good while before I can write mine!!

I’m am located in Carlisle, just about 30 minutes west of Little Rock! Hot springs and Belle Vista are great places and that’s where a lot of retirees seem to settle. Especially if you like golfing, which I do lol

I plan on having many discussions with you all because of the great first hand experience everyone has. Trying to soak it all in and make decisions on the right outfitter can seem very overwhelming for sure for this first time planner!

I would love to make the Dallas show! The only problem is it is in January and unfortunately that is the most busy time of the year for me since I work in the waterfowl industry and we are full bore till the end of February. When is the Houston show?

 

[DieJager]

Welkom! It seems your hunt has already started. The planning and dreaming is half of the fun. Enjoy!

Northwest Arkansas is some beautiful territory! But I do love Texas lol my wife and I were thinking about Texas being our next home state, but Arkansas will be home for the next couple years. I will definitely post a couple hunting reports this fall as I have great goose hunts every year!
