Hi from Texas

I've only been once, but really wish I had taken my wife along for the experience. Now, I'm looking into safari #2 and my wife is letting me know that she WILL be going along this time. If your wife doesn't already have a good camera, get her one, my hunt was with my brother and we took lots of pics. It will be the best hunting/travel experience of your life.
 
We are budgeting for a new camera. I just bought a go-pro to take. I would like to get our hunts on film.
 
The wife will no doubt take lots of pictures. My bride shot 1600 of them. She has made two very nice scrap books to show off the hunt.
 
Awesome a scrap book is a good idea. make a leather bound coffee table book
 
Hello, just taking a moment to say hi to everyone. I recently found the website and thought it would be right up my alley. Though I have dreamed of Africa for over 30 years, my first trip will be in June of 2015. My family and I are super excited. Hope everyone is well and good hunting!

Welcome Gizmo,

This is the right place for sure.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

My non-hunting daughter and I just returned from a week of Plains Game hunting and a week on the garden route from Port Elizabeth, SA to Cape Town. I would highly recomend looking at one of the new bridge (bridges the gap between a point-and-shoot and the professional cameras). I bought my daughter a Sony RX-10 and she took 2700 photos plus a few videos.
 
Dreams only comes reality by living them. Welcome to this great site.
I think it is great to plan a safari to Africa with your family. Enjoy every moment of your plans up to the REAL safari.
 
Thank yo, I amsuper stoked and so is the family.
 
Welcome Gizmo! It sounds like a great first safari. I'll be on my first safari Sept 2015, but mine will be plains game only. Enjoy the site and the planning of your adventure!

I too like the idea of a leather / hide bound scrapbook. Thanks for the idea!

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!
