USN retired Okie

[USN]

Many thanks to all on this forum! Been lurking here for some time and finally decided I must go to Africa and hunt before I get to old and couldn't perform. My wonderful wife basically got tired of hearing me talk about it and said please go, WOOOO HOOOO! I knew nothing about what to do or where to begin but thanks to this site and Nick Bowker Hunting have made plans for a late August hunt. Because of everyone using Delta 200 from ATL to JNB overnight 2 nights at the Afton then on to PE where Nick picks me up for his Sable/Kudu trophy package. His website and reviews and AH.com just made it so simple for a rookie to feel confident that I made the right decision. Many Thanks to all here and Nick for the many emails with questions for a first timer. And yes I have begun planning my buffalo hunt for next year. Mac

Thank you so much, decided 2 days Afton to help get over jet lag and then on to PE due to this site. Nick Bowker Hunting website damn near was able to answer questions before I even thought of them. Between everyone here and NB I am ready to leave now!

Welcome @USN. When I was still traveling I found that a longhaul west to east required a full 18hrs rest to get over the fatigue, so your 2 days will be a bit of overkill, but better that than under.

Used to make many flights US to sand box or Japan. West to east seems harder for me anyways, was younger then. Hey Afton has cold beer and steaks, just have to rough it. Seems the delta 200 has a history of cancellation did not want to lose a day of hunting.

USN welcome to the AH forum! First, thank you for your service! Second, I’m certain you are going to have a grand Africa adventure and I doubt it will be your only one!

to AH! I was born and raised in Oklahoma! Looking forward to reading your hunting report after your hunt! Best of luck, and keep us posted.

Welcome USN, Always good to have an encouraging wife to help push you in the right direction. I served on a destroyer 40+ years ago. I’m trying to remember if the ships were still made of wood then.
