Hi
I have hunted since I was ten years old starting with catapults and air rifle before going onto shotguns and rifles. I worked as a professional gamekeeper and stalker for ten years, served as a soldier in the British Army and now teach gamekeeping with wildlife management at a local college. I stalk deer regularly and control foxes along with rough shooting during the shooting season.
I have always been interested in African game since reading Ruark and Hemingway as a youngster and hope to go to Africa one day on a cull hunt. I enjoy using open sights now and again usually with a Swiss K31 straight pull in 7.5x55mm and shot my first roe buck of this season.
I look forward to reading and digesting as much info as I can, I have been impressed by Peter Dafners videos on You Tube.
Best regards
Garry

Hi Garry, welcome to AH !
 
Welcome Garry!
 
Welcome to AH sir!
 
Hello Gary,

And, welcome to the best forum.
If you get the chance, do read the excellent book; "Hunter" by your fellow Scotsman, J.A. Hunter.
But be warned that, it will drive the needle of African addiction deeper into your soul.
Likewise, it might inspire you to sell your house and buy both a Magnum Mauser in .416 Rigby, as well as a .500 Nitro double with ejectors.

Seriously though, Welcome to AH.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

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
