Hello, World

I was 42 for my first trip to Africa, and Im going back this May, at 44
 
Welcome aboard Joey, and thanks for your service. I'm currently 76, why is that important, well prior to the internet and forums like this I thought hunting Africa was a RICH MAN'S GAME. If you were married and had kids to put through college hunting there wasn't an option for those of us with working man's salaries. On the other hand if you were single, African hunts were more plausible. It wasn't till after I discovered the fact that hunting Africa was no more expensive (for an Easterner that is) than a guided Elk hunt that I took the possibility seriously. If you really want to go, do a good job researching a suitable hunt and start saving your money. Go as soon as you can, because once you do, you'll find a way to go back.
 
Welcome!

I’ve been traveling all over the African continent since my early 30’s.. but didn’t actually hunt Africa (first hunt was PG) until my mid 40’s..
 
Joey, welcome to the AH forum! Again thanks for your service.
I made my first trip at 69 young years. Now booked for number 5 and starting out my granddaughter at 13.
 
Hello and welcome!

Hi Joey, welcome to AH !
 
Hi all, I've been a lurker for a while and finally got around to making a profile recently. Been to Africa (Djibouti), though not to hunt animals—"social work" for the army. I'm yet young and I'm wondering how old were you all when you made the maiden trip to Africa?

PS:
I was 50 years young when I first went to Africa.
Now, 5 Safaris later I am 67.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
