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?

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
