Hello from Missouri!

[BobT]

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I was born and raised in Missouri, worked for a couple of years in the lead mines after I finished school, decided I didn't want to be a miner so I joined the Navy and never looked back. I retired from the Navy in 1996 and have been working as a machinist since then
I'm planning my first safari, again, was all set to go a few years ago and a series of events forced me to postpone things. Right now I'm looking at a 10 day trip to South Africa for plains game. I'm still a couple of years out but figured I would get an early start.

I have enjoyed several hours worth of reading so far and just scratched the surface.

You are sure to enjoy hunting in South Africa. I have been there 4 times, in the West & Eastern Cape provinces, up north on the Botswana border & northeast near Kruger NP. There is a wonderful profusion of game from Steenbok, Springbok (delicious to eat) Nyala, Kudu, and all the way up to Cape Buffalo. A 404 Jeffery has no noticeable recoil when you have a buffalo in the sights!
