AH- been lurking for a bit but decided to post, Well, after a decade of being convinced I need to go, my cousin who is a brother to me has convinced me to start hunting in Africa. He and his amazing wife have already been.We are booking my first in about 3 years going to take my wife and 2 sons and him and his wife.

I live in Leander but we hunt currently in south Texas for the past 2-3 decades and hunting nilgai has encouraged the bug and reading all my cousins suggestions has led me to this type of hunting. So after months and months of research and going thru what I want, I currently am building the list of animals I want and after a lot of research here and countless hours of planning with my cousin, I’ve decided on a 1 rifle safari, with plans of a double after. Placed my heym order after going up to Dallas to visit with Chris a couple months ago. I wanted wood stock blue barrel full on romance guy here lol.

We will be going to SCI in February with my wife and my cousin and his wife. Will be my first sci and I’m looking forward to all of it. My sons will be around 15 and 17 when we go on our first of many. Anyways I get long winded and wanted to say I love this forum and reading and learning from all of you, it gives me hope of something to do during what is surely going to be a sad Aggie football season. Thanks for reading :)

Thank you, I really hope so, but if we make it to Oct/ Nov and don’t sputter out I’ll be happy. We hunt in willacy county just went down this week. That heat is something else right now

Welcome from the Texas Hill Country. I am looking forward to the UT/A&M game. I will wear my UT shirt and A&M cap, have several cold beverages and will watch a UT victory.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
