FNG from California

[skelleywag]

Good evening AH, from Monterey, California. I've just booked my first plains game hunt with a good friend for August 2024. We'll be hunting with Hendrik & crew at Huntshoek Safaris in the Eastern Cape. We have always casually discussed (usually beer and/or bourbon induced) going to SA on a hunt. This year everything lined up and the trip is booked.

Have already learned a lot from the forums and look forward to learning much more. Only 17 months to go...

Cheers,
Dave

Not far from you Dave. Welcome. The time will fly by if you prepare and practice. Congratulations on the hunt and may Diana smile upon you all with good luck and safe travels. The first Safari is a very special thing, you will want to return before you leave camp for home,
Everything you need to know is available to you here, all you have to do is ask.
There are true experts here from all phases of the Safari industry and Firearm knowledge base that are always willing to help, at least in my opinion.

Enjoy every moment

Awesome Dave! I’m so excited for you. It seems like far off (we always have to book ours way in advance) but it comes up quicker than you think. You have much to look forward to. Congratulations! As the quote by Richard Mullen says: “The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa - for he has so much to look forward to."

Hello skelleywag,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

The Eastern Cape of South Africa has some great hunting opportunities.
Practice over shooting sticks, primarily from the standing position and to a lesser degree but nonetheless still important, from the sitting position.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

Thank you for the advice and the warm welcome. Need to pick up a set of sticks and start working with them.
