A big ol' Texas hello!

[Candido Garza Jr.]

Hello everyone! My name is Candido Garza Jr. and I am very happy to be a part of this African hunting community. Glad I found y'all! I am from the Coastal Bend of Texas, specifically the Corpus Christi area and I hunt as much as I possibly can. I have hunted whitetail deer, dove, and quail for the majority of my life, but ever since childhood, I have always dreamt of hunting the "Dark Continent!" I truly enjoy watching the many African hunting videos on YouTube and would love the opportunity to someday partake in such an awesome adventure. I find the large majority of those videos to be excellent in information and insight. I guess that I enjoy watching those YouTube vids today, about as much as I enjoyed watching Curt Gowdy and Bing Crosby on The American Sportsman back in the 70s! For deer hunting, I own a couple of Remingtons, one in .243 and one in 7mm mag. I do not own a big gun African caliber rifle at this time, but have thought about purchasing one someday. Well, thanx for the time, I truly appreciate it. God bless y'all.

Welcome aboard Candido. All of us started off "dreaming" of one day hunting Africa. Keep frequenting this site and you will soon find your dream a reality. Your 7mm Mag. is probably big enough for most plains game. But rest assured we'll do everything within our power to talk you into a bigger rifle, perhaps even more than one. In the meantime, read, enjoy and learn.

Hello Candido,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Parts of Africa (especially the Khomas Hochland Highlands - lol) seem to have been created by Almighty God, with scoped, flat shooting rifles in mind.
Your 7mm magnum, loaded with 160 to 175 grain bullets (Swift A-Frame come to mind) will properly let the air out of all species, commonly hunted up in the Khomas Hochland Highlands.

Have a peek at our web site when you get a chance.
It will show what wide open geography and types of foliage you can expect in that part of Africa.
This of course is in no way intended to discourage you from buying a .375 H&H.
Reading in this forum will sooner or later inspire you to want one anyway.

Best regards,
Paul.

Welcome to the mob, Candido. Before any of these African addicts confuse you with myriad choices of shoulder fired howitzers, may I suggest a Win 70 Safari Express in 375H&H. It will handle anything that walks, crawls or flies on earth. Ammo is readily available all over and there are several bullet weights to consider. I like Barnes TSX for everything. 235 gr for pg and 350 gr for dg.

Welcome Candido.
As you know there are a lots of hunting choices not far from Corpus Christi. For instance this red deer hind taken just west of Corpus.


Either of your rifles is sufficient to take such game.

I thank y'all for the awesome welcome fellas! Y'all are much appreciated. I will definitely gobble up as much info as I possibly can from this forum. Plenty to learn here, I have no doubt. Thanx again!
