Hello from Central Texas

Welcome to the best forum in the world!
 
Like a lot of others I’ve been a lurker for a while and recently decided to pull the trigger and formally join AH.

Married to an incredible woman, and we have two awesome kids ages 11 and 9. We live on our ranch near Rosebud TX.

I’ve hunted deer and quail on ranches in Mexico most of my life but always dreamed of Africa after reading Hunter by J.A. Hunter.

This morning I ran into a member of AH at the Ft Worth Texas Trophy Hunter Extravaganza and had a great conversation. I also booked a safari in Tanzania this morning and bought a CZ 550 416 Rigby the day before.

My safari is with Pierre Van Tonder in the Selous game reserve. I have 10 day two buffalo hunt booked for Aug 2026.

This forum, even for a lurker, has been a tremendous resource and I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you.

Cheers
welcome welcome welcome

enjoy the hunt

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?
