Just found this website and wanted to say hi. Figured this would be a great place to get my feet wet with Africa. My son wants me to take him for his senior graduation present so I figured I better start doing my homework..
 
Hello and welcome! Do you have a destination or animals in mind yet?
 
Welcome aboard!
 
I really don't yet. I'm pretty open currently. The buffalo intrigue me. My daughter wants to go for a lion. I told her that I would when she graduates vet school. lol gives me more time to save
 
Planning will be part of the fun also!
 
Welcome to AH sir. Lots of hunters here willing to help so just ask.
 
Well my simple a$$ will need lots of help. I've got a fairly good handle on hunting North America but other than that I'm screwed lol
 
There's a few around from WY. I'm up in Gillette. Maybe we'll get together sometime. This is a great place to do your homework on hunting Africa. I've been 4 times and may go back this year....

Welcome aboard!
 
Hello & Welcome @wysongdog ,

You have definitely discovered the single best resource available to begin research on an African safari. Lots of great folks on here with a wealth of knowledge all eager to help.

Having hosted numerous Father/son and family safaris over the years, I can tell you that you and your son will be in for the ultimate adventure! It will provide memories that will last a lifetime!
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome, there are some fine deer around Baggs if my memory serves me.
Enjoy the site,
Cody
 
Welcome to AH wysongdog. Are you sure that you didn't whisper the idea of hunting Africa into your son's ear? Having your son "request" the hunt is a good way to get the whole idea past Mom. This a great place to start. First of all you need to establish a "ball-park" budget. Then you can decide on which animals you and your son can reasonably expect to take. Stick with the Outfitters that are AH Sponsors. My reason for suggesting that is because they are vetted by some very demanding folks on an almost daily basis. Consider a "Package Hunt" as these generally offer the most bang for the buck. In your spare time, look up some of the previous Hunting Reports, they will give you a little more insight. You might also introduce tour son to AH. He can peruse these pages and build up his knowledge of the pursuits available to him. One thing for sure, your first trip to Africa will not be your last.
 
Welcome to AH wysongdog! You certainly found the right resource to plan for your African hunting adventure.
 
Have fun planning.

Welcome to AH
 
Welcome to the African Addiction sight, enjoy the process it's half the fun.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
