Greetings everyone. Just found this site a little while back and am looking forward to learning from the experience of others here. I'm booked for a Namibia plains game hunt in late June. It will be a chance to introduce my son (16) to African hunting. He took his first big game animal last April and what a way for a young person to start. New Zealand, 11 pt Red Stag, came in roaring to a call. Wow. Took me 4 years of hard hunting as a teen before I was able to get an Arizona whitetail. Since buffalo is not on the agenda for Namibia and I don't know when another trip might happen, I'm selling a couple of 375s which will be posted in the classifieds soon.
Best,

Welcome to AH Jeff! Good to have you on the site...
 
Welcome!

Enjoy!
 
Welcome aboard Jeff from a native Arizonan with NoCal ties.

Lots of good folks here on this board.

Where will you be hunting in Namibia?
 
Thanks for the welcome.

I'll be hunting with Jan du Pleases of Serba Safaris, around the Loxodonta Africana Conservancy, not far south of Etosha National Park. My wife is going as an observer, and an old friend (who also hunted with me in Zambia in 1999) is going as well. 10 day hunt.
 
Jeff at least one if not more of this site's sponsors (John from Westfalen Hunting Safaris) hunts the L.A. Conservancy.
By all accounts I've read you are in for a great time. I'm totally envious.

What did you hunt in Zambia in 1999?
 
Hi Jeff, welcome to AH !

Hi Thomas,
We hunted buffalo, kudu, wildebeest, impala and warthog. Ended up taking a buffalo and wildebeest. I flubbed a couple of shots, which was discouraging. The first time in Africa can be disorienting.
 
Welcome to a great community Jeff!

All the best on the upcoming safari for you and the family. I am certain you and your son will be making memories.

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!
