Hello! Ive been reading on here for several weeks now and have decided to finally join. I have lived in Alaska for the last several years where my hunting rifle has been a 45-70, taking deer, caribou, moose and grizzly bear. However, my family and I are planning on moving to Botswana toward the end of this year, and I am soaking up all I can, knowing that I have to make some big changes. I look forward to all of the advice and new friends.
 
Welcome to AH Big Woolie! Big adventures await you and your family. Looking forward to your participation.

I just returned from a month over there. I am a horseback outfitter, and am working with an established lodge in Ghanzi to start a new outfitting business there for the Kalahari. I am not a ph, of course, but will want to do my own personal hunting as opportunity arises.
 
mate , ive just turned a few darker shades of green with envy.
l hope you will keep us up to speed with tales of your adventures ,and antics ......:beer:

Welcome!!!

What a couple of places to live... I'd love to move to Alaska, or someplace in Africa. I'm fine with either... :)

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)?
