I have been a lurker on this site for many years and finally decided to join. I have hunted southern africa (RSA, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique) with my wife many times. Our next safari is scheduled for August 2020. Keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH koodoo62! Glad you decided to join the posting side and looking forward to your contribution.
 
Greetings koodoo62. Tell us a little about your hunts and your taste in rifles.
 
I grew up on a ranch in South Texas (Frio county) and still hunt birds and whitetails and pigs there. We have hunted in southern Africa for over 15 years and hopefully will be going on our 14th safari in August. Have taken most of the plains game (including an over 60 inch greater kudu). I need a lion and an elephant to complete the big 5 (my lion hunt is scheduled in August). Working on the tiny 10 (need a red duiker, suni, and Damaraland dik-dik). I have a congenital disease-my father loved old model 70s and he passed that affliction to me. I use my fathers 30-06 and have added a pre-64 .375 H&H for Africa.
 
Welcome to AH koodoo62. My better half is from Abilene. I'd love to see a photo of your Kudu. BTW your father passed on a very helpful congenital disease. I wasn't quite that lucky.
 
Welcome to the posting side.

Perhaps a hunting tale or two with some photos???
 
Here you go. May 2017. On the Rance ranch on the Kei river in the Eastern Cape. Rocky country, lots of big kudu, good buff. Great folks. My outfitter was John X, PH was Ed Wilson. All great people.

koodoo62, welcome to the AH forum! Awesome kudu! It appears to me you have lots of Africa adventures you need to share with us just to give us something to keep the excitement going until Africa opens back up!:whistle:;)

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
