Hunting reports
Africa

I recently returned from my first trip to South Africa, and a beast has been awakened! I am actively researching what I want the next trip to be and am enjoying going through the site!

It's a short, fast fall from "once in a lifetime trip" to "How the crap can I make this happen as often as possible??"

I genuinely went into my first thinking that would probably be it. I am 3.5 weeks out from wheels up on time number two, and this time I'm not even pretending it'll be the last.

Best of wishes on your own addiction solutions. Welcome to the site. Contribute often. A write-up and photos of time number one would be a dandy start.

It's a slippery slope, my friend!

I once had dreams of hunting all over the place...blacktail in Alaska, stag in Scotland...but after my first safari, all I can think about is going back again and again!

"Hi, my name is Jared and I"m addicted to hunting Africa" :D

Welcome to AH, the price of admission is a hunting report on this first trip of yours. I too always thought I'd only ever do this once. But I cannot think of anything else but going back!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Was looking at eBay in 2005 and saw a fella in Africa wanting to trade day fees for a pair of Zeiss binos and a rangefinder. Day fees? What the hell are day fees? Never knew of a website like this. No info at all about hunting Africa.

“Hey baby, wanna go to Africa and go hunting?”

“Sure. Let’s go”

That was about 11 trips ago.

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!
