Hi from New England

Glad to be here. Grew up hunting in Texas, now living in New England. I spent the early part of my career in foreign affairs, and now in international business. I definitely need to connect more hunting to my business travel.

Recently had my first hunt in South Africa organized by @mdwest with Gerrit and Louie from @Bos en Dal SAFARIS

I literally can not say enough good things about hunting with them. And not just because I shot a lifetime kudu on my first hunt. Dave captured most of the hunt report, but I'll try and provide my own take on it.

Look forward to learning from all of you.

I'll leave you with a view of the salt shed from our recent trip./

Welcome!

If you're who I think, you've got a great instagram page and killed one heck of an amazing Kudu. We actually went opposite directions. You from Texas to the Northeast and I went from the Northeast eventually to Texas.

Congrats on a great hunt!!!
 
Congrats on a great first hunt and welcome to AH!

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!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
