Hi Everyone!

I have been reading AH for a few years, learning about the big bores, leading me to get my CZ550 in 375 H&H right after I found out they were being discontinued. Well, a few weeks ago I visited the classifieds and just could not turn down a few beautiful rifles I found there. I have now met a few very helpful, knowledgeable people on the forum and am excited to continue learning and growing.

So a little bit about me. I’m in my early 40’s, have a wife and two elementary kids. I have been hunting since I was a teenager, usually teaching myself along the way. I really got into it to be honest, because my grandpa was trapped in a nursing home and told me about how his missed his mom’s squirrel pie. Well, 5 or 6 hunts later, I bagged a singular squirrel and had learned a lot about being still and quiet in the woods and about perseverance. I also make a pretty darn good game pie.
Anyway, fast forward about 20+ years and I have had the great luck to hunt whitetail, elk, wild boar, ducks, geese, pheasants, etc. I am going on a bucket list hunt to Poland in two weeks to hunt red stag, which has been delayed 4 years. Africa is big on my list, but may be a few years. Caribou in Alaska is also a big one. I would love to moose hunt, but it’s probably out of my budget for now.

Anyway, looking forward to the years of advice and future friendships to come. Thank you for creating such an amazing place!

I have attached a few pictures of me hunting and some yummy recipes I made. I’m not sure if you have a recipe section, but that is one area where I am thrilled to share.

Thanks! HunterX

@HunterX - Welcome to the AH Forum and I hope you like it here — I certainly do.
I also like your photos and especially your Elk & deer…both look like they were “earned” and you appreciate them. If that whitetail was taken in Michigan - on a nice cold day - What a nice memory !

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
