Hi everyone. New member here. I've spent a lot of time on this website over the past few months and finally decided to join & make it official. Several family members & I have booked an 8-day plains game hunt with Huntershill Safaris for April 2022 and our excitement level is already through the roof. My hunting background is primarily in western big game (deer, elk, moose, bear), but this will be my first trip to Africa so I have a lot of questions. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and joining in on the conversations when I can.

Thanks everyone! No question I've come to the right place for all things Africa.

Unfortunately no youngsters on this trip. Mine are still pretty young, so maybe next time. But my wife is coming as an observer and plans to do some hunting as well. Our wish list includes: kudu, impala, warthog, springbok slam, & fallow deer. Maybe a few others, if everything goes well.

My dad has been once before and is after cape buffalo this time. The rest of our group will be after plains game. One older brother has also been once before and will be trying to complete his spiral horn slam.

I'm planning to take my .300 WSM. And we're considering renting a .270 for my wife.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
