Hello the camp

Seems like “hello the camp” is straight out of a John Wayne movie, bunch of roughnecks sitting around the evening fire sharing sundowners-which puts you in good company since that is every evening during safari! Welcome to the camp sir.
 
Hello Ravensview,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Your 7x57 is a classic African cartridge.

Likewise, blue steel and walnut are typical of Africa even today.

Best regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome aboard Ravensview. I too am from Michigan, but down in the Southeast corner. Actually an island between the U.S. and Canada at the mouth of the Detroit River. Have you ever thought of hunting Africa? A guided Plains game hunt there is about the same a guided Elk hunt out West but you are all but guaranteed to get all of the animals in your "package." Take a look at the deals and offers for next year. Stick with the outfitter/ sponsors of AH. These guys are vetted on an almost daily basis. They cannot afford to deliver a hunt that doesn't measure up to your expectations. One thing for sure, stick around here for a while and you will discover that you need a rifle with a bit more "horsepower." Don't worry, we'll help you pick it out, as well as the ones after that. ;);)
I have had dreams of hunting Africa since I was a wee lad, my uncle had a signed picture from Fred Bear with a downed elephant hanging on the wall behind his desk, I had a couple of friends that I went to College with who were from grosse ile, a few duck hunts down that way, biggest gun I have right now is a custom built sharps in 45/90, but have dreamed of a .375 H&H for a long time.

Thanks, always announce yourself when entering somebody’s camp, and you are right I am a fan of John Wayne.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
