I'm a long time lurker here and finally have joined. I've had a lifelong dream of hunting Africa, having read any and all books on the subject since childhood. I went to the Dallas TTHA show in January, met Rouan from Tsala Hunting Safaris and made plans to hunt buffalo in Mozambique in 2027. I have enjoyed reading the forum for several years, looking forward to having experiences to share.
 
Welcome to the Forum,, I grew up in Central Arkansas and cut my hunting teeth on deer, squirrels and flooded timber duck hunting there. Hope you have a great hunt with Tesla and hope you write up a report for us all to read
 
Hello and welcome from a fellow Arkansan! I’m in central AR and have hunted Africa twice. Great information on this site as I’m sure you’ve already discovered.
 
Welcome to AH. Buffalo in Mozambique will be a great adventure. We will look forward to reading your report.
 
Welcome!

Whereabouts in AR are you located?

My youngest is a razorback.. and my wife and I are seriously looking at properties in NW AR at the moment (considering retirement locations)…
 
Welcome!
I'm down in South AR, so it's always good to see a fellow Arkansan!

@mdwest , you could always go to Hot Springs like we discussed that time. Though, NWA seems to be a thriving place!
 
Howdy there fellow flyover country friends and welcome @HardTimes ! I've got plenty of ties to NWA from Fort Smith to Bella Vista myself. @mdwest if you like golfing then Bella Vista is a great place to be. I think 7 golf courses in the community, and as a bonus they have a private 100 yard range you get access to.
 
Welcome I lived down by Glenwood and was district ranger out of MT IDA for a while before moving back west, beautiful country. but for those dang chiggers.

I'm about 10 miles east of the thriving metropolis of Vandervoort, AR-population 113 Not far from the Oklahoma line, about 3 hours south of Fayetteville and 1.5 hours north of Texarkana.

That's not far from me. Glenwood is closest town of any size east of me. I do quite a bit of business there. Lots of good woods, but late summer the chiggers do get rough!
