Noob from texas

Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome from a fellow Texan.
 
Live in Van Alstyne, up north of mckinney. Been up there a couple of years now. Was in Corinth before that.



Like most ppl in texas, white tail. Have been overly unsuccessful hunting them it feels like. Still fun though! I did get somewhat luck and took an aoudad out near possum kingdom. Other than that, mostly dove hunting. I am planning a diy hunt for black bear in the spring. We will see how it all goes. Currently, my "big bores" are the .375 ruger, .375 h&h, and a .416 rem mag. On the hunt for either a .416 rigby, .450 rigby, or a .458 lott, or maybe..... dang it! List keeps growing lol! Dream gun is a double in .470 NE. It's not so much a need as a want thing with me. I just enjoy them. I haven't ventured into reloading yet. I'm sure i will eventually though.

Just down the road 20 miles
 
Welcome to AH . Enjoy the forum

Welcome to the other side.
 
Hello everyone. Thought my first post should be an introduction. I’ve been reading here for a year or so. So much good info here. 35 y/o and basically a self taught hunter, still a lot to learn and whatnot. I’m not overly accomplished / experienced, but I’m having fun doing it regardless. My interests in hunting are growing and I plan on traveling to Africa within the next couple of years. As well as Europe I hope. Other than hunting, newest addiction is big bore rifles. Too much good info in some of these threads, kinda want them all now lol. Thanks ahead of time

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
