Hi, I am a long time hunter for many years in the US hunting everything from Whitetail to Goose to Rabbit. I am also blessed with the best hunting companion in my soon to be 16 year old Eagle scout son Joshua. We also have a radio show called Cast and Blast on every Saturday morning on a community non-profit radio station in northern Illinois. My first trip to Africa is planned for next year on a plains animal package. I am on this forum to learn, help others where I can and advance the sport of hunting to the next generation.
 
Welcome to AH David! We have an amazing community and you have found an exceptional resource to plan and prepare for your hunt. Looking forward to having you on the board.
 
Welcome! You've come to the right place for all things hunting, especially Africa!

Welcome on board. I lived a few years in Lincolnshire before moving to Florida. Got my best whitetail in central Illinois and did my first (and only) whitetail drive in southern Wisconsin.
 
Welcome aboard!

Welcome! Lots of info to take in, enjoy! What do you have planned for your hunt?
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH - first safari planning underway - you are hooked now!
 
Welcome, congrats on your son's accomplishment and ya'lls soon to be safari. Africa will change your life and is a wonderful beautiful place. I look forward to your contribution to the forum and thank you for spreading the truth of our passion to your listeners.
 
Welcome! Be careful, that "first plains game hunt to Africa" can lead you down the path to a second, then a third, then a DG hunt. It's addictive.

I work with Dave and have to say we spend quite a bit of time each day discussing Africa. I'm recently returned from my first PG hunt and planning a return. It makes it much easier when you have that little extra push everyday! ha!
 
Welcome Dave, and friends like TTundra are the kind of people you need to hang with, enablers are always good company when it comes to hunting!
Cheers,
Cody
