Been a member here for awhile. Life is busy so just getting around to posting an intro.

Spend my hunting time pursing deer, moose, elk and lots of small game, gearing up for the spring snow goose hunt at the moment.

Always up for something new so have learned a lot by reading through these forums for a future African trip. That's likely a few years out (again life is busy) but I like to prepare.

On that note here's a pic of some of my tools:

  1. Blaser R8 Safari with steel receiver and kickstop. Champered in 458 Lott with an Aimpoint Micro.
  2. Dakota 76 in 416 Ribgy. Topped with a Swaro Z6I EE.
  3. Winchester Model 70 Classic Stainless in 375H&H. Haven't gotten around to scoping this yet.
  4. Blaser R8 with standard aluminum receiver. Chambered in 375 H&H topped with a Swaro Z8i

Welcome to AH! Nice selection of hardware too, you're quite prepared for Africa.
 
Welkom! Seeing the battery I'd assume you've been to Africa already?
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to the posting side.
 
Welcome! You have some excellent rifles and fine optics!
 
That Dakota Rigby looks like a sweetheart! Welcome from BC
 
Welcome, looks like you are all set to go
 
Good day! Welcome!
Looks like you're rigged for Africa!!

Well, Sir--you are properly geared up
 
Welcome! Glad you came on line; you have a great battery of arms!

That’s the Dakota you’ve been trying to sell I assume?! I keep looking at it every week

Be careful of this Wolfen guy. 2 messages. Both trying to sell something. He PM'ed me trying to sell something and he PM'ed my friend on here trying to sell something. Fishy.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
