Hi All,
New member and wanted to introduce myself.
Name is Jim Dale, hunted and shot my whole life. Live in Nor Cal and have dreamed of going to Africa since I was a kid, I blame Capstick. I run a construction company and at 58 years old and not getting younger I have to get serious about making it happen. I have learned a lot reading through the site and look forward to learning more.
 
Welcome to AH!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Capstick suckered me in also!




Welcome to the forum.
 
Welcome to AH. Just do it. You need time for multiple trips!
 
I made my first trip in 2007 (age 42).

I'm 60 now, and just sent an e-mail to my PH in Mozambique telling him that I wanted a shot at a problem elephant this year, if one happens to come along.

If you have the means, get started ASAP!

I walked over 40 miles to take a Cape Buffalo in 2021.


When you are too old and decrepit to walk, you can tell your grandchildren stories from your rocking chair.

(I would rather have stories to tell when I'm 85, than just will them $250K, which won't even buy a single-wide trailer and an acre of land north Georgia now.)

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?
