Hello All

Welcome aboard Williepete. Lots of Ex G.I.s here. Please tell us a little more about yourself as a hunter. Things like what have you hunted in the past, what kind and caliber rifles do you own, do you reload etc.

Hello Shootist -

Sorry for the delay in response; I’ve had my hands full.

I’ve been busy with a lot of life, but am approaching Empty Nest very soon. My hunting experience has been regional status quo stuff - deer, turkey, etc - and it’s been a while. I plan on getting more involved this coming fall once the caboose goes off to college.

Reloading has been been low volume, mostly straight wall stuff. I also like antique, obsolete calibers (a bit of a Webley fan). Again, with the pandemic and some messy life events, that tailed off along with shooting. I have a knack for firearms and ballistics; it’s not really the kind of thing I lose with diminished involvement. I’ll pick it right back up where I left off.
 
Welcome and look forward to your participation!
 
Another noob here offering a brief salutation before I settle into lurking and learning.

I have a long history with firearms and reloading and have a lot more traveling recently, but I have never been to Africa and have always wanted to, with or without a hunt.

I’m getting into the empty nest stage of life and am doing my research for some options over the next decade (hopefully even a hunt). Here to learn and research; thanks in advance for the conversations and wisdom.

Welcome to AH from Grahamstown, South Africa.
I hope you get to realise your dream of visiting South Africa, and hopefully you'll get a decent hunt in while you're at it!

Once you've been, you'll want to return!
Enjoy the process of planning. Shout if I can be of any assistance.

Best regards
Marius
