I've been following AH since about early 2000. I've always been interested in some of the famous writers and stories of the golden age of African hunting, and finally decided to become a member of this forum. My bucket list has a safari on it, but not a typical safari, as there is only one animal that I am looking for, M'BOGO. That has been my dream since I was a small child, and I'm in my 60's now. Oh, and I want to do it Karamojo Bell style, with a 175 grain .275 Rigby. Some day...some day...
 
:S Welcome:
 
Good day! Welcome to AH! May you live your dream soon!!
 
Welcome to AH from Grahamstown, South Africa

I hope your dream hunt planning goes well! Looking forward to your hunting report!

Enjoy the planning journey!
Best regards
Marius

Greetings BatshitCrazyRedneck,

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

When you can spare a minute, I invite you to have a look into the Khomas Safaris website.

Regarding the buffalo hunting, it is a dream definitely worth making into reality.
I do not know if there is a country within Africa allowing hunters to use a small caliber for that species.
But if there is, I shall look forward to your hunt report one day.

The one in my below attached photo was knocked off his hooves twice, by a left and a right from my Army & Navy .450 No2 Nitro and 480 grain Hornady bullets (a soft and a solid).
I believe I was 58 years of age then.

Now about to turn 72, arthritis is beginning to beat me up more and more.
Exercise and eating “right” to keep my weight down helps a lot.
But I’m getting slower and my energy is deminishing, little by little.

My point ?
Go sooner than later.
Time slips away.
Don’t waste it in front of a television.
You will be glad you hunted Africa, before you became unable to walk the hills mile after beautiful mile, very glad.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

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?
