Not so old guy, new member

Welcome to AH Mark! Nice to have you on the site and all the best for the New Year. You will enjoy hunting in Africa.
 
Welcome Mark. Those two rifles will suit you well on the Dark Continent. When working for Uncle Sam, did you get to hunt any other countries?
 
Hello everyone,

New member here. Feeling kind of old as the Michigan USA winter creeps into my bones. I am however certainly not dead yet!

I’ve been reading your posts on many topics from which model rifle and caliber are best for dangerous and plains game, to general information on what to expect in hunting Africa. I come to you via a boyhood in the forests and fields in north central Pennsylvania when No Trespassing were only posted by absentee owners from the cities. Not quite so anymore. Joined the Marines at 17 and spent two decades. Probably why 20 years after hanging up my uniform winter weather does not always agree with me.

I look forward to learning from this group and in time, contributing from my experience albeit not gained in African hunting, yet.

Mark

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.
