Hi Guys,

All the way from Australia, I am looking to do my first African hunt early next year.

I'll no doubt be reading a lot here and asking heaps of questions!

Thanks for having me!
 
Welcome to AH Shifty!
 
Shifty, welcome to the AH forum! Lots of you Aussies on here with good info.
For your upcoming Africa adventure I’d recommend starting your research by clicking on “safari planning guide” at the top of the page. I found it very helpful. Good luck!

Hello Shifty,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome aboard Shifty. Seems like this site is garnering more and more Aussies every day. Please tell us a little more about yourself as a hunter. Things like what have you hunted in the past, what kind and caliber rifles you own, do you reload. Where do you live and hunt in Oz? What are you planning to hunt in Africa? Where will you be hunting, who are you booked with?

Hi Guys,
I’m down in Melbourne at the bottom of Australia in the state of Victoria.

I mainly hunt Red Fox, Sambar and Fallow deer.
As for the rifles; I am a Winchester 70 and Sako 85 man and have .222, .22-250, .243, .7mm08, .30-06, .9.3x62

I have just sent off my deposit to hunt with KMG Hunting Safaris for April 2023, Marius has been very helpful indeed.

Looking forward to learning a lot and meeting new people!

Cheers,
Shifty
 
G'day Shifty,
Good to see more Aussies here.

Hope you hunt a ripper Warthog, Warthogs are cool.

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!
