Hello AH members,

Greetings from a resident of the currently cold and rainy Kentucky. I have been reading AH posts/articles for a while and decided to finally join.

About me:
I have been an avid outdoorsman since before I can remember (first squirrel shot when I was 3). I have hunted in Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, and Arizona (I have also lived in all of these places). I have not hunted in Africa yet, and have only briefly visited Morocco.

My favorite hunts to date: AZ archery elk, self-guided mountain lion

Dream Africa Hunts:
1- Elephant
2- Leopard (was #1 until I chanced across AH)
3- Gemsbok/Oryx (I saw one free range in New Mexico and have been fascinated ever since)

Current stable:
300 wby, 30-06, 270 win, 30-30, 12 ga (3 1/2), & my PSE StingerX (bow)

I am looking forward to my time here!
 
Welcome to AH BourbonTrail! Nice to have you join us on the posting side.
 
Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome! You found the right place to learn about hunting Africa. I reside in Northern Kentucky, and have one South African hunt under my belt. Hoping to return soon.

Thanks Aegis, I am down near Lexington. I have learned way more here than I would have expected, and I am looking forward to my first trip when I am ready(ish).

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
