Hello from the Last Frontier

Wow, I'm surprised and pleased there are so many Alaskans here.

@Velo Dog nope, not in Los Anchorage, over on the Kenai Peninsula. Next hunt will be back in South Africa as part of a much bigger adventure that I'm not at liberty to discuss, and then in the next couple of years a 28 day in Uganda, then probably back to Zim (I really like that country, the people are awesome), and maybe Tanzania...maybe. But I love Namibia so will no doubt hunt there too, we will talk about that when the time comes. Meanwhile always willing to chat about hunting or fishing with like minded folks.

@Ryan I've got a couple of friends that live in the Ninilchik area. Next time you head down this way holler first and we'll grab some coffee.

@R.M.C. most folks in the US would pick March 2020. But I know it actually started in November of 2019 and to a friend, and where. Of course might have been even earlier than that, but that's the earliest I know.

@cls well I've got some. One would revolve around my very first African Safari, stepping in an Aardvark hole the first day of an 18 day hunt before I'd even hunted a single animal, tearing an arm muscle, and being in extreme pain the next 18 days, shooting with only one arm, and the best shooting I've ever done in my life, before or after- and I have no idea how to explain that. Or there is the hunt in Mexico that was the strangest, weirdest, worst hunt I've ever been on, culminating with seeing a UFO- I kid you not. Or the 125 grain ballistic tip I shot into a monster black bear thinking I'd drop it in its tracks like I had everything else up to that point. Or crossing the border at Plumtree at 1am and after leaving immediately coming across a flipped over bus with dead and injured bodies strewn everywhere. But I'll have to get to know you guys better before I share any stories. ;-)

@David AK 53 okay, so the first time I went to Whittier I was convinced that in WW2 there must have been a secret sub base there. What say you? PWS is awesome- boat or plane?

@John the Electrician some winters aren't too bad, others like this last one will have you spending a lot of time looking at the wrong end of your gun. Not a good thing. But heh, it's sunny and warm now (for our standards) and daylight 24 hours a day, and love is in the air.
 
Welcome, you live in my dream location and where I hope to retire too
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome Sourdough!! I love Alaska and have been up there a number of times. Flew out of Ninilchik a couple times with Doug, Alaska West air. Caught a "slot" salmon at 47" that we had to let go on the Kenai river a few years ago. Been bow hunting caribou on the haul rd, Dalton and been up to Deadhorse. Sheep and grizzly hunted, with a guide of course, in the Talkeetnas. Can you tell I like Alaska. If I could get my wife to move, I would be there in a heartbeat. Would like to hear more details of some of your world wide travels!!!
 
:S Welcome: From Seward

Welcome Sourdough, love your bread!!
 
Welcome to AH @Sourdough ! Judging from all the locations you have hunted before, I'm sure you have a few interesting stories to share with us :)

Thanks. Yea there are a few stories. Been too many years for them to be considered hunting reports but some would be interesting reads and put some smiles on some faces. I'll set some time aside and see what I can come up with. Maybe start with England and Cowboys and Indians.
 
Welcome to Africa Hunting, may you have hours of fun here.

 
Welcome to AH. Very Interesting
 
Welcome aboard Sourdough, have you figured out that you are going to fit right in with this august body of hunters, shooters and gun lovers? What caliber rifles do you own, what is your favorite respective caliber for small, medium and large and or dangerous game?

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!
