Me being grumpy...

[MBaneACP]

...this week I should have been in SA hunting eland and kudu with my lever action .500 S&W Magnum. Thanks to the virus, I'm still in Colorado working on my trophy room and shooting packrats out of my garden with a suppressed .22.

I hear you. But I would have been back home already and dreaming of my next trip!

id feel sorry for you if your gun was a 500 S&W HANDGUN,NOT A rifle!!!good luck on your hunt anyway when it happens.

 

[Aegis]

I would have been leaving for Africa in less than two weeks.

 

[Red Leg]

Sigh. Would have just returned from the Kamchatka.

 

[Ridgewalker]

Michael B, go forth into Wyoming and exterminate some coyotes and PDs! Stress relieving!

Did you rebook for next year? I'm booked to begin hunting 6/8/2021 with KMG.

I should be in Romania this week SA this August is still TBD

 

[Mark Biggerstaff]

Three weeks from today I was supposed to be in Atlanta already waiting to board Delta to South Africa. Hope all is straightened out by June 2021.

I think a lot of us are in the same boat. My third scheduled trip of the year is coming up end of July. The first two already canceled. Heck, I am beginning to worry about my October trip now.

 

[YancyW]

I am not giving up hope, but I am also beginning to accept that I likely wouldn't make it this year. Sucks, because I have plans for next year already in the works.

 

[CBH Australia]

Sigh. Would have just returned from the Kamchatka.

Where is that what would you hunt for this time?

 

[CBH Australia]

It’s a shame al round, not just the hunting seen but I understand your disappointment.
I got my first trip in January this year and not planning anything but I still want an Australian Water Buffalo, other than budget it is 3000km from home.

 

[Tra3]

The ammo I bought for my June trip is going to get used, at least that will bring a smile to my face.
I’m wondering what to shoot with some .375h&h solids?

 

[Red Leg]

Where is that what would you hunt for this time?

The Kamchatka Peninsula in easternmost Russian Siberia for Russian Brown bear. Was bringing my R8 with synthetic stock configured as a .375. We will try again next year.

Today would have been the last day of my Cape Buffalo and PG hunt in the Deka region of Zimbabwe and tomorrow my Bride and I would have started a 8 day tour of Victoria Falls and Chobe staying at 4 and 5 star accomodations. Something nice for me, something nice for her. I purchased a Krieghoff Big 5 in .470 NE with an RMR, a R8 Safari stock, a J Sips .458 Lott barrel and a Leupold 1-5 scope w/CDS as well a a new Els leather cartridge belt for this trip. Instead, I am getting lots of target practice with my Browning T-bolt in .22 WRM on squirrels that are destroying my wife's flower bulbs. Re-booked for May 2021 so all is not lost. Will be able to afford more PG by then so the delay is not all bad. Will hunt deer in CT and moose/caribou in Newfoundland this fall so focus is changed. Praying that at 75, health holds.

I’d love to see a pic of that rifle. Lever actions are my favourite!

 

[Ed Lally]

I posted photos of the Krieghoff in "Engraver Kathrin Noon". Don't have photos if the R8 or Browning. None of these are lever actions.

 

[Ed Lally]

Sorry. Mistook your post as directed to me.

 

[AZDAVE]

I would right now be in the Timbavardi as backup and camera guy for a buddy's elephant hunt, then some plains game in limpopo.

Hopefully soon we will all be back in the bush.
