Some people chase the North American 29 and I have done a bit of that myself but for me Africa has been my thing. I didn’t realize it till the trip that was to complete it for me but in 2021 I was just one animal away from completing the SCI African 29 with a Roan Antelope. Now this was over 13 safaris and 14 years of hunting Africa to reach this moment. In the 14 years and 13+ safaris I traveled to 5 different countries within the continent and all but one multiple times. Now I did complete this with a archery Roan taken in the Northern Cape of South Africa once my article on this hunt is published within SCI magazine I’ll be able to share the full story here with all of you. But for now my journey to hunt and explore all of Africa continues.

Congrats, last month or so your photo was in SCI’s monthly newspaper type publication. Can’t remember the animal, not roan, but I recognized your name from this forum

Thank you! I believe that was an Gredos Ibex. This story should be in the next Magazine publication.

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl
