Hello I’m Simon from the South Island of New Zealand.
I’m originally from England but emigrated 6 years ago.
I hunted a lot in Europe and England. Having stalked deer for 20 odd years on pretty well a weekly basis. I spent a lot of time hunting in the mountains too and used to love it.
I have hunted in Tajikistan and adored it.
I was addicted to tahr hunting in our mountains in NZ but an unfortunate accident resulted in a year of being on crutches and a fair bit of time suffering with a severe traumatic brain injury. That means no more mountain hunts and my African hunting journey starting a few years earlier than I had planned to.
I spend my spare time clay shooting with my trusty krieghoff
Yet to hunt Africa but plenty of plans.
 
Welcome to AH Simon! Glad you found us.
 
Welcome to AH Simon. What game will you be after in Africa?
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH.
Enjoy the research and planning for your African adventure.
 
Giday Simon and welcome to the A H forums. Injury has changed your habbits but not your hunting ambitions so that is a good thing. Where are you in the SI. I am in South Otago.
 
Hello I’m Simon from the South Island of New Zealand.

Hello SWS1 (Simon),

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

I am sorry to learn of your serious injury.
However, I am impressed to likewise learn that you are not just sitting around, doing nothing.
But instead, you are continuing to train and fight your way upward and onward.
Bravo I say.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog (Paul).

Welcome to AH! Admire your persistence and I think once you’ve been to Africa you’ll join the list of Afro-addicts here on this website.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
