Just taking a moment to introduce myself. Live in Dallas, grew up bird hunting over hunting med/big game. Mostly since it was mostly Quail and Doves where I lived, along with rabbits and the occasional other critter. All the mule deer and elk were long gone before I was born and we're exterminated when my great grandfather move into the panhandle area.in 1900. Now the area is thick with whitetails. Starting to take up hunting Texas Dangerous Game - wild hogs.
Planning on my first trip to South Africa in 2024 or 2025 with Numzaan Safaris since they cater to non-hunters. Still working on the timing, etc. My wife and teenage daughter are going with me, this is a place that has more than hunting for them. Another friend and his wife may also go.
Focused on a few medium plains animals, perhaps one of the larger antelopes. I currently plan to take a Mauser 30-06 (180 to 200 grain) and perhaps my 7-mm 08 (120 to 140.grain), my deer and elk rifles. Unless a Ruger #1 in 30-06 finds it's way into the house.[emoji3]
