Hi all...new from Georgia

[Hooked Now]

Welcome aboard from a fellow Georgian. You’ll find lots of helpful folks here with a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding big bore rifles, hunting Africa and many other topics.

Which Matesi unit will you be hunting? I was in unit 2 last September and had a great hunt there. If I can answer any questions just shoot me a PM and I’ll be glad to help anyway that I can.

Same. Unit 2. 15 months away and too excited! Seems like a healthy crowd from the great state of Georgia around here.

That. Was. Outstanding. I really enjoyed that read and I am so thankful you posted it. Me and my buddy who is going both got a similar read on Dave Freeburn and were immediately excited about what he had to offer. You have confirmed it for me. I will stay in touch as we get closer. Good intel is always helpful. If May 2026 could just get here faster now...

Welcome from middle Georgia!! Sounds like you have the basics figured out. My guess is you are just here to enjoy camaraderie with other Africa addicts, enablers, and other bad influences!!! Welcome aboard!!

Greetings AH,

New member but I've been lurking around here for a bit. In the time I've been reading around here I've learned a few things:
1. Telling your wife you will just go to Africa once and "get it out of your system" can turn out to be problematic upon return from RSA.
2. The once daunting recoil of a .375 H&H quickly disappears when you realize what you get to do with it.
3. A lack of wall space for taxidermy is a rapidly compounding problem.
4. A "friend" who suggests your first Africa trip is really just a Pied Piper who was lonely hunting by himself.
5. Africa really is a special place. Spoken as a rookie I can say it does take a hold. Anyone reading this...do not put off planning a trip for "one day". Make it happen. You won't regret it.

My Africa history is brief. So far one fantastic trip to Limpopo for plains game. Loved. Every. Bit. Of. It. Planning a trip to Matetsi in Zimbabwe in 2026. Buffalo and eland and probably a few other things. Recently got aforementioned .375. A new-not-fired CZ550. Currently working on reloading 300gr TSXs and A-Frames for it. I've seen a great thread on the Swift powder suggestions. Would love same on the Barnes. Everyone have a great evening and thanks for all that you share on here.

Welcome to AH
