What a great website! I've hunted a lot here in the West and Canada (although I am still looking for moose and mountain goat). I am planning a plains game hunt in South Africa next year, and hopefully a buffalo hunt the year after that. If I am not hunting something (big game, predators, waterfowl, upland game) or fishing, then I am shooting, reloading, or tying flies. And if I am not doing those, then I am probably reading about it!.

My wife thinks I lost my mind decades ago.
 
Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome to AH!
 
You joined the right crowd.

Welcome to AH.

But she's still with you and that's what counts. While I grew up on the east coast, I prefer to think of myself as a displaced Idahoan who lives in Phoenix now. Completely in a state of turmoil not presenting a PMD to a wary trout this time of year. Welcome to AH!
 
There are a number of us on the site from Colorado.

Welcome and enjoy planning that upcoming trip.
 
Welcome fellow Coloradan! Enjoy. I too was an Africa virgin. Just got back from Namibia and I can tell you it was fantastic. You'll become an addict.
 
Welcome aboard sir!
 
Welcome to AH dpswift! You found a good place to get your fix... Nice to have you with us!

:S Welcome:

Well don't worry about what your wife thinks. Mine says my brain is on a different planet![emoji15]
 
Welcome to the posting side @dpswift!
 
Another from Colorado here! Welcome. Made my first trip to RSA last year and heading back in September. I'd say you've got a good plan going!
My plan is to return every year I can. At nearly 70 that may not be too many. Guess I started a little late.
 
Welcome aboard. What caliber rifles do you own? Plains Game hunting in Africa is a "hoot." Nothing like it in the States. Have you already booked your hunt with an outfitter? What animals are you planning on taking?

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

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.
