Hunted
Norway, Sweden, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa
I have been lurking here for a while....I am 52, work as a shift manager on an offshore oil rig in the North Sea, ex mil.-officer.

My interests are hunting and fine weapons...I hunt birds like ptarmigan in our mountains and black grouse in the forest with my Gordon setter...and moose in the lowland.

I love british side by side shotguns, Mausers, Mannlicher-Schønauers and british double rifles, have hunted Namibia twice and have been bitten severely by the Africa bug. I regret that I did not hunt Africa before passing 50...plan to go each year in the future..!
 
Welcome to the forum Pondoro!

I don't think you can ever be too old to hunt in Africa, maybe just how you hunt would differ!

Please share a few photos from your Namibian trips.
 
Good luck with the annual plan.
Welcome to AH.

Do share those pictures from the Namibia trips.

Welcome! What part of Norway are you from? My ancestors were from Norway.
 
From the southern part Gizmo.....some 150km south of Oslo, by the coast..
 
Awesome! I have seen pictures, it's beautiful there. I haven't got to go yet but I would like to. My father went several years ago and stayed with family that we still have there.

Welcome, I don't think you're ever to old to hunt Africa but maybe to old to fly there , the flight is killer from the states here.
 
Welcome!

Nice zebra.
 
Welcome to AH Pondoro! Glad you decided to introduce yourself and nice to have you with us!
 
Welcome from Alaska, to the best forum.
I am interested in the same things you are, plus I am 10 years older than you are, and planning my 5th time to Africa.
So, you are quite young compared to me and you will have more grand safaris.

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.

PENDLETON AMMUNITION
PENDLETON AMMUNITION
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!
