Just wanted to introduce myself. I’m a southern Floridian. Grew up in the snow and got sick of it so I moved to the palm trees. Now I spend my time hunting and fishing in Florida and Georgia. Most of my hunting is gators and hogs. I’m planning to expand that list to South Africa in about 3 years.
 
Welcome aboard Gatorhunter1313. Got any pictures of those gators and hogs? What caliber rifle do you use on them? What are you thinking about hunting in Africa?
 
Giday and welcome gatorhunter to the A H forums where all manner of guns and hunting related addictions are catered for and encouraged

I mostly use a 6.8 spc AR for hunting hogs but have also used everything from a .223 to a 458 socom. For gators we use a 44 magnum bang stick since we can’t use firearms on gators in Florida.

as for hunting in Africa my top choice is a kudu and an oryx. My buddy that will end up coming with me wants to hunt a water buffalo

Hello Gatorhunter1313, and welcome to AH. I used to live in Homestead, FL, and moved to GA with the military and stayed in GA. Where in GA do you hunt???
 
Gatorhunter1313, welcome to the AH forum! Nice lizards! They’re on my bucket list.
I have spent some time in Florida mainly kayak fishing around Sarasota, but also as far south as Key West. My favorite area though is the Everglades out of Chokoloski. Old Florida.

Welcome to AH... you will find a lot of info over the next three years. In Africa we have Cape buffalo, it’s a common mistake to get them mixed up with the Water Buffalo...
I think the crocodile Dundee has something to do with that.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
