I live in The Villages Florida....1 hour north of Orlando. Just wondering if there are any hunters interested in Africa in this area. The Villages (amazing place to live) has a thousand clubs but nothing re.: hunting. Thx.
 
Not in Florida yet, but Tina and I will do a "Lifestyle Visit" to the Villages in another year or so. We have hunting land in Rosewood, which is close to Cedar Key, Fl. Right now we are looking at houses near Brownwood and Sumter Landing.

If I have to round up every overpaid Hillbilly in the Villages to form a Sportsman's Club, that's what I'll do. ;)
 
Good locations in TV. don't wait to get here. You'll be glad you did if you're active. Hunting seems to be a touchy subject here...lots of gun/shooting stuff though.
 
I haven't looked in that area yet, but there has to be an SCI Chapter in Orlando or Central Florida.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
