I got over rode by the spouse unit today due to 2 vehicles needing new tires going into fall/winter sorry to have wasted your time friend! I hope you are able to sell.

If Cmwkwarrwn doesn’t follow through hit me up. I’m interested.

My most recent trip I used DGX 300 grain in my 375 and took a giraffe, Cape buffalo, wildebeest and eland all with one shot each. People may hate on them but I’m a firm believer in they work. I’ll be posting a review of my safari soon and I have pictures of the recovered bullets. Shot placement...

This is brilliant didn’t know it was a thing. I’ll have to look for these

This is very similar to what I did last year. I burnt through a ton of 22 ammo running drills off sticks. I pushed myself out to close to 100 yards. A month out from Safari I burnt through a couple boxes of 375 just to get the feel of it. Highly recommend for anyone to do for practice.

Awesome! Best of luck! I’m off in about 3 weeks to North West province. Been 11 months since my first safari and I can’t wait to get back.

Fish in the river…are there any truer words this time of year?

Congrats on your retirement! I hope you get to enjoy these years to the fullest and have many adventures. Drop me a 10digit grid and I’ll come help you kill a couple bottles and cigars

Absolutely love the community that this forum fosters! Was going to offer up my assistance but Azdave has you covered. Cheers!

I’d probably go for the one on the right. But what do I know, I’ve never hunted a buffalo.

Thanks for the compliment on the kudu, he was honestly the trophy I went there for! Being my first safari I elected to use my PHs rental gun, a CZ 550 in 375H&H. I’ll be taking my Winchester model 70 in 375 in two months when I go. The ammo were some of my PHs reloads. Fairly certain he uses...

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

Perhaps it’s a regional thing or just how was brought up but I never leave the house without a blade of some sort on my person. I have a handmade fixed blade in a sheath a good friend made for me and I wear that even in my Sunday clothes. Carry a knife or not is your choice, but I would rather...

Enjoy the countdown, I swear the preparation and planning is almost as much fun as the hunt. Of course, I’m a bit ocd so for me it was nice. there’s a lot of great resources on this forum, learn from others so that your experience is unique but the best it can be. Worst part of the whole...

Next trip is a Cape buffalo, cow, I can’t work enough overtime to justify a bull just yet. Maybe in 20 years when I retire it’ll be my gift to myself lol. Also a wildebeest and I think a giraffe is in the talks as well.

To everyone, thanks for reading and responding. Much like my safari, the warmth and general camaraderie on this forum and community is stellar.

I meant to upload them yesterday but like the zebra picture I just couldn’t get them to stick. May be my wonky satellite internet. I’ll see if I can make an edit and add them here in a bit.

Let me start by saying I'm not a great writer or master of the english language when it comes to grammar and puncutation; so please overlook that aspect of this and take this for what it is. This is my story/experience of my first African safari. For years I've dreamed of a hunting safari in...

Just finished my first safari with Johan last month. Amazing PH, family and staff. Camp was amazing and the hunting even better! You will not be disappointed hunting with Executive Hunt Africa!

Found a new in box safari express M70 for $1500. Thanks everyone for the help and offers.

Thanks to all that have commented and sent me PMs. Appreciate you all.

I was hoping to stay below 2k as I’d still need to buy optics rings bases etc. i found a nice new Winchester safari express for $1500 but I wasn’t able to to click the buy button in time.

Hi all, looking for a 375h&h mag with an action and barrel in good shape. Stock, or absence of one, doesn’t matter. Just a solid action and barrel if nothing else. Don’t know if I’m just not looking in the right places or what but I can’t seem to find a 375 or other dangerous/big game rifle...

Planning is coming together! Just waiting to hear back from a couple outfitters to see what their availability is for this year, if any, and I'll be booking my first African hunt. Fingers crossed I can get one slotted for late August/first couple weeks of September.

Thanks! Might run into you on the water some time, I spend most of my free time fly fishing when able.

Thanks for the good info! Being my first time I’m realizing it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the information that is out there. I appreciate the guidance.

One of my searches for African/South African hunting safaris they popped up in google. The website is nice and what they are offering sounds great, correspondence with I’m guessing the PH all seems to be legit. I was just curious if anyone had any knowledge of them as I am unable to find anything.

Was wondering if anyone had any information, reviews, or the like in regards to https://www.otterskloof.com/ Outside of their website and the emails from the owner named Abel Erasmus I’ve not been able to find anything. Just curious if anyone had heard anything good or bad. Thanks!

I live in western nc. Born and raised! Lived out west in Colorado for a while and down south, finally ended up back home. Thanks for the reply. May be dumb, what forum would be appropriate to post a question about an outfitter? Out of the 4 I’ve contacted only one has been in touch and I can’t...

Hello everyone! Stumbled across this site while trying to research outfitters and planning of my first African hunt. Still trying to find the right outfitter and gather info on where to go. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.
