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).

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
