Another Lurker Joining Officially

I think I’ll start a report from each of those hunts as I find some time. I’m a little bit private in that I probably won’t share names, exact dates, or faces in pictures. Is that style still accepted here?

Absolutely!
 
Thanks for joining!! Glad to have you here!
 
Hello All! I found this site last year as I was preparing for my first safari. Have loved seeing everyone’s adventures and learning from them. Excited to post a little and see if I have anything to add. Mostly excited to keep learning more from all of you!

I have been to Africa twice now. Nothing currently planned for the future but hoping to get back before too long. View attachment 551034
Welcome to AH from rural Idaho!
 
Welcome! Beautiful Sable Bull, I hope to get one one of these days! Where did you pull him out of?

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

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.
