Hello everyone!

I just joined this forum but have been doing a lot of reading! There is a WEALTH of knowledge here and lots to learn. I have some experience in metal working, wood working, and light gunsmithing over the last 30 years or so. I'm an expert in nothing :-)

I have gotten to a place where I'm looking at my first African hunting trip - really interested in plains game + cape buffalo. My hunting experience is all North American (East Coast) deer, turkey, and small game.

I'm looking forward to engaging in converstation.

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us! Where in VA are you located?
 
My wife and I just took our first African Plains Game Safari the last two weeks of August 2025. It turned into the most productive and fabulous vacation we have ever taken. The Professional Hunter was Dirk de Bod of Dirk de Bod Safaris Namibia. With a lot of his help, he helped me harvest 5 animals in 5 days with 5 shots. The staff and facilities were great. The meals were all native game that I harvested.
He was recommended to me by James McClelland and Craig Boddington.

That sounds like a great trip! Thanks for the lead - I'll take a look at Dirk de Bod's safari hunts.
 
Thanks for the greeting! I'm just north of Richmond in Henrico County
I went to college at Bridgewater College, have lots of family from northern VA to Richmond, great area to live in! Good luck planning a wonderful experience in Africa!
 
Welcome to AH from a Hokie!
 
My neighbor flies the VT flag every game day! He, his wife, and both kids were Hokies!

I think we have finally found another good coach.
