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!
 
Welcome to AH! Glad to have you on board.
 
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

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
