Happy Friday, everyone! My name is Kagan, and I'm from outside of Houston, Texas.
I've been a long-time reader of the forum- joined a while back, and have enjoyed and learned from many of the threads and posts found here. I've hunted often in Texas and a few other states, but have always dreamt of making the journey to Africa. I started reading Capstick, Ruark, Hemingway et. al. 20+ years ago around the time I started hunting as a kid, and have found myself in spot-and-stalk exotic hunts quietly pretending in my mind to be somewhere deep in Africa on the trail of a kudu or buff.
I am now getting to a point in life where I am actually, finally starting to plan and prepare for a first safari. I recently picked up a Ruger RSM in .458 Lott to satisfy a big-bore itch, likely to be the first of many, and will start practicing with it off the sticks at my place in the Texas Hill Country. I have three young boys that I hope to take along someday, but for now, we will fit in whitetail, axis and hog hunting out of the old Willys Jeep (my stand-in for a Cruiser) in between baseball and other sports activities.
I am thankful to have this forum and its members as a resource to continue learning from, something that I'm sure will be invaluable in that endeavor. I look forward to returning the favor with thoughtful engagement and, hopefully, some hunting reports and personal acquaintances over time!
