Hello from TX

Welcome to AH Rhoyland4!
 
Welcome to AH, fellow Texan! I know Boerne well. You'll find tons of info here and lots of great people to answer questions and provide inspiration.

If you'd like to meet in person with a number of African outfitters / ranch owners to ask questions and potentially plan a trip, I recommend that you attend the Texas Trophy Hunters Association Hunter's Extravaganza show in San Antonio August 15-17, 2025. There are usually 10-15 African outfits at those August shows, and that's how I researched and booked my first safari (though it was at the DFW show). Shows like that are one of the few opportunities we have to engage face-to-face with the people you could be hunting with in Africa, plus you might meet some of their clients, too, and hear about their experiences.

Planning a safari is a journey in and of itself, so enjoy it!
 
Welcome to AH! We look forward to you sharing your stories!
 
Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I will start posting some questions soon. I am trying to research and not ask questions that have already been answered.
 
Africa has been in the back of my mind for years, but now I am making it a priority! I am just starting to look at a trip for 2027 for myself and my daughter who will be 17 then. I will be asking lots of questions on different forums soon. Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge in this group!

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!
