Hi everyone.

I have been browsing this site for the past few days gathering information to plan for a hunting trip to South Africa. This is a very informative site - thanks for sharing!

Welcome SRD. Happy planning.
 
Welcome to the forum SRD! This is a great, informative site with an awesome crowd of members to go with it. What is on you list to hunt?

Take Care,

Welcome to Ah...

Welcome to the forum, SRD !
 
Welcome to the site SRD!
 
Thanks everyone, for the welcome.

Marius - I plan to do a basic plains hunt (for species that are hunted by stalking).
 
Hi SRD,
Welcome to the site! This is a great site for any information about hunting in South Africa.
Any specific area of South Africa that you are thinking of hunting?
 
Welcome to the forum, lots of collective knowledge here.

I was thinking that somewhere near JNB or accessible from JNB would be very convenient. I live less than a one hour drive from JFK airport and can get that nonstop flight on South African Air. That is really convenient. However, my wife is aware of the penguins that are near Cape Town - for all I know, she will want to plan the whole trip around the penguins!

First. Welcome to AH!
Well the good news is just about every animal can be stalked :) so that makes the list endless!! Pull out the credit card and go to town!! Or you can be more conservative. Enjoy the planning, its one of the best parts.

Do you have one animal you just couldn't live without on your safari?

Sounds good. Luckily there are short flights from JHB to anywhere in the country, so you could end up pleasing your wife at the same time as having an awesome hunt! Good luck.

I did not think that far ahead. I always thought it would be nice to hunt for zebra.
 
Welcome to the AH SRD! Enjoy the planning, you can always plan the penguins on your second trip Oh yes there will be a second one. Good luck.
 
Welcome to AH SRD. As mentioned flights within SA are cheap and easy. Good luck with your trip.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
