Hello to everyone,

Started my physical addiction to hunting Africa in 2013.
As the rest of you know, once you go there, you’re hooked. Addicted is a mild term. Obsessed is more like it.
I now attend weekly African Hunting Anonymous meetings to deal with my addiction.
Will it ever end? I hope not

Welcome to the fold.
Share some of your tales of obsession. It helps....
 
:S Welcome:
 
Thank you all for enabling……
Shot my first kudu with the bow in 2013. It was a very good one. Unfortunately I can’t help myself anytime I see a kudu. I held off on my second trip. Third trip I decided to take two. Why? Because they were in front of me. What’s wrong with me?
 
Deer hunting in the states is great, but does not compare to the feeling you get when hunting in Africa. Gemsbok was the first animal I harvested on my first trip. I could not believe the size of the animal and the coloration and markings. I also learned a very valuable lesson on shot placement on African animals. What I thought was a double lung shot, turned into an hour and a half blood trail and long follow-up shot with the bow. Once we brought the animal back to the skinning shed, and field dressed it, I looked at the organs affected and learned a very valuable lesson.
I was absolutely hooked on the first animal.
 
Welcome to AH, you'll only addiction enablers here however.
 
Welcome to the forum!
The only way to your addiction is to feed it with many more hunts!!
 
Good day! Welcome!
 
Welcome to AH.

As far as it is concerned I believe the addiction to Africa is terminal.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
