Welcome to AH Pole Pole!
Dreamed of hunting Africa back when Rhodesia still existed then got sidetracked with making a living. In the seventies hunted elk in Wyoming, got into fly fishing the Texas coast for redfish and the Keys for tarpon. In the nineties added billfishing. When I turned sixty my wife stirred my African thoughts when she said I should do something special. Booked a trip with Safaris de Mocambique taking a 40” buff after a six hours of tracking. Then back again with Luke Samara double buffalo in the Selous. Both fantastic hunts. Thoughts are now on an Alaska bear thinking an article grizzly would be something interesting. And, yes, of course, Africa always calls.

Welcome aboard Pole Pole. What kind and caliber rifles did you use on your African hunts? What are you planning to use on your Bear hunt?

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!
