Good day AH members,
been lurking around for a while now, and thoroughly enjoying this site, especially the big bore discussions.
I live and work our capital city, Pretoria , and have been exposed to our great sport since a young age. I have hunted most of South Africa, also once in Namibia, and in the coming month a first for me in Botswana, all plains game though. I have been fortunate to take most of the common plains game species available, although there are still quite a few to tick off, top of that list is the grey ghost, a big kudu bull. I have focused on finding one for the last 3 years, but it evaded me, or even prepared to say , outsmarted me every time.
I have 3 calibers all CZ's , my first ever firearm I owned is a 30-06, which is mainly used for bushveld hunting. I also own a 7mm Rem Mag, mostly used in open areas, and then my latest addition is a 416 Rigby, for which I am busy planning a buffalo hunt early next year with Gerrit from Bos en Dal safaris also here on the forum.
I also reload for all my firearms, Nosler Accubond 180gr for the 30-06, Barnes TTSX 150gr for the 7mm Rem Mag, and then Barnes TSX 400gr for the Rigby .
Looking forward to start engaging with you gents.
Kind Regards'
Michiel
