Africa Hunting........................Not Really!?

No I wouldn't want to see the Viagra and lubricants ads either. What I really can't deal with is the TV hunting shows that play that Narcotic Music (I'D have to be on drugs to listen to it) in the background. What's that all about?
Well, at least it (the Viagra) is a product that works, unlike lots of other stuff which is advertised!(y)
 
As for the music on hunting shows I think that it's added to appeal to younger generations that need constant stimulation (like video games) to keep them interested for more than 5 seconds. I hunt for the peaceful sounds of nature my boys play music on earphones while his hunting.
 
When people ask me, why do you hunt Africa? Why not!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hi,

Is it just me, or has this site now become more about general hunting. especially the last while with hunt offers.

There seem to be more North America hunts offered than African hunts. I for one enjoy this site because of its Africa focus. I sure hope we aren't losing it, because there are plenty of general hunting pages, but very few that focus on Africa.

Am I the only one?
I think it's more of the time of the year. We're entering our hunting season in the US with fall, while I believe Africa is winding down as they are about to go into their spring.

I still think this is the best "Africa" forum as most of the members returning from their hunts are posting their reports.
 
I will never make it to Africa. Oh well. That's my fault. But "we" can not isolate ourselves into factions (whether it be Africa, White-tail Deer, Elk or whatever) and expect to see our sport survive against the onslaught of the antis. I'm reminded of the reference elsewhere to "First they came for the Socialists". Others have talked at length about we as hunters need a united front now more than ever before.

I know I have little to offer this community, but I am thankful for it and all the things I can still learn here. Thankful that through the accomplishments of others I am enriched in so many ways.

Thank You AfricaHunting.com


As the old saying goes,"Don't say never because it may happen. Don't say forever because nothing lasts that long." It took me nearly 50 years to get to book my safari and now,by God, I'm going!! Just keep the dream alive in your heart and it will happen.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
