Hunting reports
Africa

I recently returned from my first trip to South Africa, and a beast has been awakened! I am actively researching what I want the next trip to be and am enjoying going through the site!

It's a short, fast fall from "once in a lifetime trip" to "How the crap can I make this happen as often as possible??"

I genuinely went into my first thinking that would probably be it. I am 3.5 weeks out from wheels up on time number two, and this time I'm not even pretending it'll be the last.

Best of wishes on your own addiction solutions. Welcome to the site. Contribute often. A write-up and photos of time number one would be a dandy start.

It's a slippery slope, my friend!

I once had dreams of hunting all over the place...blacktail in Alaska, stag in Scotland...but after my first safari, all I can think about is going back again and again!

"Hi, my name is Jared and I"m addicted to hunting Africa" :D

Welcome to AH, the price of admission is a hunting report on this first trip of yours. I too always thought I'd only ever do this once. But I cannot think of anything else but going back!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Was looking at eBay in 2005 and saw a fella in Africa wanting to trade day fees for a pair of Zeiss binos and a rangefinder. Day fees? What the hell are day fees? Never knew of a website like this. No info at all about hunting Africa.

“Hey baby, wanna go to Africa and go hunting?”

“Sure. Let’s go”

That was about 11 trips ago.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
