Hi All,

Having taken a lot of info from the forum over the years, finally joined!

In Wales I hunt red deer, fallow deer and wild goats in the mountains (couple of pics attached to show what they’re like). Really enjoy bird shooting mainly for woodcock.

Africa wise, worked in SA a good while back on a game reserve and went to Namibia this year for plains game and had a great time.

I’ve found forums have been a great way to get a good feeling about guides, learn about new areas, knowledge share and have done a fair few swap hunts.

Looking forward to being on the forum.

Welcome.
I'm assuming your in North Wales to have access to goats and fallow? I used to love hunting the goats in Snowdonia.

Yes that’s them. Great scenery, does not get much better does it.
 
It’s a stunning place. Went to uni at Bangor and then hunted a lot near Beddgelert a decade or so ago.
Moved to New Zealand’s South Island and that’s even more impressive scenery.

Woodcock are a favorite of mine too. Well behaved for my Setter, easier to pluck than all others, and those legs taste like candy!

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!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
