Great report, congratulations on a wonderful hunt

This is accurate, but I will say that while my 375 H&H is quite muzzle heavy, when shooting off of sticks in Africa, that "bulky" fore end and heavy barrel seem to lock the rifle in like shooting from sand bags. I have really enjoyed mine in Africa while hunting, while I admit it is a bit heavy...

I will see you there for sure Mani. We’ll do something even if it’s at the hotel bar!

Anything happening in Atlanta for DSC?

Welcome to AH!

I’ve been researching amplified hearing protection online and decided I just need to ask the experts. AH is a far better resource than any internet search. I am looking for my first pair of electronic ear protection to keep what little is left of my hearing from being damaged. But I am no longer...

What an incredible introduction to Africa! Congratulations, looks like a great trip.

That is a shame, it is a great rifle. All the ones I have handled are great shooters, pretty wood and smooth actions. It is one of my favorite rifles. But since they moved factories I don't believe they made any new ones and the used ones are not easy to find. Hope its temporary and not...

My favorite 375 in this price range is the Kimber Caprivi. They are great rifles but are currently not easy to find. I have a Ruger RSM and even though it is a bit heavier and bulkier than the Caprivi, it is a great shooter. Along with the Win Mo 70- any three of these are excellent choices.

I would struggle to pick 3 "favorites" but based on what I have used the most: 270 WIN 300 WSM 375 H&H Except that excludes the round I've probably used the most- 12 GA

Welcome to AH. I am assuming from the description of how your buddy got the hunt it will be with Kuche Safaris. This is the first hunt I went on under very similar circumstances. Enjoy the planning and really look at your wish list of animals. I feel I messed up on my trip. I was dead set on...

Good luck picking one up. I love mine. It is a great shooter and did the job perfectly in Namibia.

Anyone near Eufaula, OK interested in a fun get together, we would love to have you at our Trophy Room tour on Aug. 17th. Two great trophy rooms, snacks and a great group of people to visit with.

Great report. Thanks for sharing and jogging memories for me until I can get back to Kowas. The Strauss family are great people and Kowas is first class for sure. Great animals and memories made. Congratulations

Awesome, old bull

My first rifle ever was a Rossi Puma M92 (my 10th birthday present-THANKS dad) in 357 Mag. I have taken more deer and coyotes with it in heavy brush than I have my 270 and 300 combined. It is quick, accurate with low recoil and very fun to shoot. If my memory is correct it holds 11 -357 Mag or...

You will be missed sir. You are the first AH member I got to meet face to face. Then you set me up with the info that turned into my wonderful day touring London’s gun rooms. I have enjoyed your friendship through this dinner. Hope to see you on the floor and son and grandson. Mickey

Hate to miss you bud, hope to see you at the next one

Money sent for me +1 Can’t wait to see everyone!

Thank you sir, I appreciate that. The kids were all pretty pumped for me too. It was a fun day.

Me, my kids, and a neighbor have been chasing this buck for three years. We’ve had him on cameras each year but this morning was only the second time anyone has seen him in daylight. None of the kids wanted to get up this morning so dad took the shot. He was chasing a doe hard and would never...

About time for the 2024 addition!:D Beers:

We’re always one election away, all over the world. Good job in the UK for getting past one more.(y)

No city is ever very appealing to me. But for 4 days a year Dallas is the exception- best hunting show there is. You should attend, especially the AH dinner that Jerome and Phil put on. It’s a great time, even for people who like to be smug and take pot shots at another hunting club.

The group wasn’t just TX and OK. Board members and staff were from FL and VA as well in our small group. I will be the first to believe many politicians will shake hands and take a pic and move on. However these were like minded politicians in a setting based around the CSF banquet who knew and...

No, nothing to do with the “D” or a band of states. It had to do with committee chairs and members that have certain issues in front of them right now. There is nothing regional or selective about DSC. And yes it will take SCI, CSF, DSC and every other organization available to preserve our...

Thanks Wheels. The hat did kind of stand out in DC more so than in Oklahoma.

On September 12th-14th, Corey Mason (DSC/DSCF CEO), Erica Tergeson (DSC Government Affairs Director), and Tim Fallon (DSC Board President) organized a small group of DSC/DSCF Board members and staff to fly in to Washington DC and meet with legislators in conjunction with the Congressional...

I measured him when he came home at just shy of 40. Couldn’t quite stretch my tape enough to hit the magic number.:ROFLMAO: Surprising to me was he was almost perfectly symmetrical between 39.6 and 39.8 both horns. I love how he stays so heavy all the way up. That bull of yours is a stud!

DSC is in Dallas January of 2024. They won't be in Atlanta until 2025 when the convention center is under construction.

Gemsbok are wonderful animals to hunt and make great memories hanging on the wall. A big bull will make a perfect main target for a first hunt. I do agree with @Justbryan in that it is a long and expensive flight for a one animal hunt. You could make a 5-6 day hunt and add some smaller, budget...

Great report. Thank you for sharing your family's adventure. Namibia is a special place and the Strauss family are special people to hunt it with. I plan to introduce my family to Africa with them in the near future. Looks like your crew had a great time and definitely took wonderful animals...

The attitude and need for drama by dragging it out pretty much tells you what you need to know.

Congratulations on nice bucks. That is some really fun hunting right there.

I wanted all that beautiful blue/black brindle hide I could fit on a wall mount. I wish I had a picture from the back of this bull as his neck really shows off the color and the horn spread.

"The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to." -Rich Mullins Have a great time and welcome to the addicts club.

My understanding is the venue they looked at in Ft Worth that could accommodate the convention is also planning a major renovation starting in 2025 or 2026. So it wouldn't get them through the 5 years. And several of the other venues in Texas couldn't block the January dates for all the years...

They have had the DSC Foundation Gala in the summer for 2 years now. It has been a very successful one night event and they are looking to expand on it. Not planning for it to replace the Convention.

I love that Oryx shield!

Sorry for the rocky start with the airlines, but happy you made it work and sounds like a great hunt started. I am looking forward to the rest of the report.

I have hung a lot of steer hides on the wall. I agree with the above comments about hanging at an angle instead of "square". I use small nails and it allows you to start at a point and keep everything tight and smooth as you go around. Makes a lot of holes in the wall but they are small and...

Sounds like a great trip to share with your daughter. Safe travels and good hunting. Can't wait for the report.

Great, old bull.

I have a question on the RSM and there is obviously a lot of knowledge about them on this thread. I bought a 375 H&H a couple of years ago and love it. Compared to my Kimber 300, it is definitely a heavier "clunkier" stock and very heavy barreled. But when I shoot it, I lose any complaints-good...

For that trip I can’t imagine a better place than @Kowas Adventure Safaris. There are lots of reports here for them including my own from 2021. Great Kudu, Oryx, Eland, Mountain Zebra and other Namibia plains game with a great family and great camp. Enjoy the planning and look forward to your...

Congratulations on a great first trip to Africa. Even bigger congratulations on marrying a girl who wanted that for your honeymoon!
