Well, I am going on my first hunt in South Africa in 17 days. Man am I nervous. Not so much about the hunting but about being prepared for the hunt itself. What will I forget that I need, have me and my son practiced enough, am I in good enough shape to enjoy the hunt, will one of us get sick......the list goes on and on. My mind races at times thinking about everything. Gotta just let all that go, hope for the best and enjoy ourselves.

Thanks to this website and all of y'all i'm a whole lot better prepared than I would have been.
 
Enjoy!

You will likely way overpack. Remember boots, binos, and rifle and all will be good. :)

Who are you flying? I'm headed over on the 7th.

Delta. My flight leaves July 6th out of Atlanta.
 
Almost had someone to talk to on the flight. :)

Man are you going to have fun!
 
Congrats and enjoy! It will all be worth it when you step foot in the bush in pursuit!

With your son as your hunting partner, you can't go wrong!
 
Congrats and good luck!
 
Who are you hunting with?

as royal said ...plus some clothes as well hopefully :D. you will definitely take too much "stuff" with you that will never be needed, so relax and stop worrying about imagined things and concentrate on the great time you and your son will have :D Beers:
 
@buddy48

I got my dates mixed up - knew it was wednesday, but thought that was the 7th. So if you are on flight 200 at 8:12 then we will have to day hello!
 
Relax and enjoy it. I know, easier said than done. Try to sleep some on the 15 hour ATL-JNB flight. The Joburg airport is actually quite nice and fairly efficient to get in and out of. You and your son will have a great time and memories for a lifetime.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
