Hello all, I have dreamed of Africa since I started hunting years ago. I always thought it was just a dream until 2 weeks ago when I won an auction for a donated hunt at a hunt show. It was dirt cheap and includes everything (except airfare) plus 1 Impala and 1 Blue Wildebeest. Obviously, I will be adding more trophies and I think that is their plan when they donate the hunts. Like potato chips, they know you can't have just one or two. LOL

As excited as I was to take that trip this summer, it has been pushed back to 2023 already. The cheap trip will no longer be cheap as my whole family now wants to go. Both kids want to hunt and my wife wants to take a 2 day trip through Kruger. If you guys would like to start a go fund me, I would greatly appreciate it! LOL I have spent more time on this site lately than I care to admit and the biggest thing that I have learned is that the hunt itself is probably going to be the cheapest part. Either way, it will probably be the last big trip that we do as just our small family because my daughter will be graduating college next year and my son will be starting high school so the cost will be worth the memories.
 
Welcome to AH! I am very jealous of the memories you will be making with your family. I am in the early phases of planning a family trip/hunt to SA. This website has opened my eyes to how much goes into it and already has me better prepared than I ever would have thought possible or necessary.
 
Welcome to AH BLJC30! Glad to hear that your family will be joining you. Enjoy exploring the site.

Thank you guys for the warm welcome! My first trip isn’t for another 16 months and this site already has me thinking about where and what to hunt on my second trip! Lol

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
