Welcome to AH Pole Pole!
Dreamed of hunting Africa back when Rhodesia still existed then got sidetracked with making a living. In the seventies hunted elk in Wyoming, got into fly fishing the Texas coast for redfish and the Keys for tarpon. In the nineties added billfishing. When I turned sixty my wife stirred my African thoughts when she said I should do something special. Booked a trip with Safaris de Mocambique taking a 40” buff after a six hours of tracking. Then back again with Luke Samara double buffalo in the Selous. Both fantastic hunts. Thoughts are now on an Alaska bear thinking an article grizzly would be something interesting. And, yes, of course, Africa always calls.

Welcome aboard Pole Pole. What kind and caliber rifles did you use on your African hunts? What are you planning to use on your Bear hunt?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
