Hey guys I wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I'm Brian from San Antonio, Texas and I am really looking forward to visiting Africa. I want to visit with my wife and 3 sons, but not sure where i want to go, or even what i want to hunt. Its making me laugh how bad I want to come and experience Africa and I don't even know what animals I would like to hunt. Just think it would be a great trip for the family before they start leaving for college. I love to bow hunt and rifle hunt in the US, but pan on rifle hunting in Africa. My wife and kids would like to hunt also so that a huge plus. Anyway just wanted to say hello, hope everyone has a wonderful 2025!
 
:S Welcome:
You and your family will defiantly enjoy Africa. Welcome aboard
 
Welcome Brian! We are in the Hill Country about an hour out if San Antonio;)

Are you thinking a Plains Game hunt or looking to include some Dangerous Game?

I think it's great you don't have a specific list yet;)
 
Just north of SA too. There are SCI and DSC dinners coming up very soon. Great way to met fellow hunters that travel internationally and want to travel.

Welcome to AH! We all had to start somewhere and it can be kind of overwhelming at first. But rather than stress over it, enjoy the process of researching the great variety of game that Africa offers.
 
Hello Brian

Welcome to the forum. I love the fact that you are planning to bring your wife and kids along to Africa. My name is Gerrit Jv Vuuren. Owner Outfitter and PH of Bos & Dal Safaris. We are a family run outfit and if there is any information i can share about our operation please feel free to contact me through DM, Whatsapp or email.

Thanks AB we are actually in Boerne. Probably plains game for the first trip with wife and kids. Would like to return later and do a more remote/wild hunt for dangerous game and cats.

Oh well then you are not far away! San Antonio is the place we do not enter unless absolutely nessasary! At least we hate going past the 1604 loop...

I try to avoid Boerne only because it is where Gina's favorite furniture store is... And she has really good taste so you know how that translates ;)

Seriously it an easy drive over there and a lovely albeit busy town.

We are just over near the Cowboy Capital of the World :)
 
Hi Bryan! Welcome! Hope all your dreams come true!
 
Welcome to AH! I’m about an hour south of you. The Alamo SCI is having their Gala on February 27. https://sciofsanantonio.com/annualgala/
DSC South Texas is having their Gala March 22. https://www.dscsouthtexas.org/

I just went last night to Rebecca Creek Distillery for a party with Phillip Bronkhorst Safaris. He will be in town until Feb 9. I can give you his number if you’d like.

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

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
