Early on in my career (chef/restaurateur) I lived and worked in Paris for a little over two years and I fell in love with really funky cheese. I kept two journals while there. One was just my daily experiences and interactions. The other was one that I documented all of the cheeses and pastries...

Yes.

Thanks for the info. I’ve always loved reading H Rider Haggard. In chapter 4 of King Solomon’s Mines he recounts a hunt in which a giraffe was taken and writes… “By the time the "scherm" was finished the moon peeped up, and our dinners of giraffe steaks and roasted marrow-bones were ready. How...

Why is there very little posted about giraffe hunting on AF? It just doesn’t seem many hunt reports or posts mention giraffe hunting. I’m sure there is reason l, but being a newbie I just don’t know the reasons.

Thanks for the answers. It seems like once the first trip is made most end up going back as often as possible. That says a lot about the great experiences most people have.

I’m 49 and plan to head to Africa in 2-3 years. What age were y’all on your first hunting trip to Africa. Just out of curiosity.

That’s exactly the type of info I’m looking for. Plains game will be the focus of my first (of hopefully many) hunts. I am still contemplating my wish list of animals to hunt and I’m sure I will be asking many more questions along the way. This forum is great. Thanks Cullen

There is so much information to digest, for a newbie, when trying to narrow down where to hunt in Africa that it can be a bit overwhelming. I would love to hear a concise list of the general pros and cons of each country y’all have hunted (where they stand out and where they may fall short)...

I’m rather new here and have been very interested in building a 404 J. I saw this on Gunbroker and it peaked my interest. I just wanted to see what you guys with much more experience thought about it. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/989613926

I have had really good success with Waterlox. I began using it on my stocks about 15 years ago when I saw how it performed at one of my restaurants. I used it on a couple of our nice bars. It holds up to repeated spills/standing water marks and ever surface burns from cigarettes falling out of...
