CAustin in Hospital

Well, Ouch! One of the few times on Africa Hunting forum when bigger is not better! Hope this passes quickly and you are better soon.
 
Ouch Charlie, I posted on your hunt report that it sounded like you were basically fully recovered. Hope you get it over with soon.
 
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Charlie with the observation that 'twas better at the end of the hunt than the beginning
 
Dang! 6mm is a big one. Best of luck. They are no fun!

Thanks Preston I shot a hell of a lot better this year. Took him down with one shot and he floated in exactly 44 minutes

I’m freaking jealous big time!! Well done!!!... Croc and hippo are next on my to-do list.

Hope they’re able (or you’re able to on your own) to get that 6nm stone out without too much pain or stress!!

On another note, I would like to think about hosting a Midwest AH get together in the next few months. I live in Joplin MO which is 2 hours south of KC and 1 1/2 hours NE of Tulsa.... Anyone interested?

Indeed! And nothing to show for the pains yet!
 
Stay strong Charlie. This should soon be over.
 
Best of luck in your recovery. I was about 15 when I saw a mountain of a man I admired and looked up to brought to his knees by a kidney stone. I have never forgotten the look of pain and fear on his face. Prayers for a speedy recovery.
 
Prayers for sure.
 
@CAustin I have only just seen this post buddy. I wish you a speedy recovery and I shall pray for you. On the other hand it could be seen as an attempt to stay out in SA longer?! Only kidding. Get well soon my friend
 
How is it going Charlie?

How is it going Charlie?

Still no large portions recovered but it looks like some sand at the beach! Hoping that the thing is falling apart! Thank you for the continued care and concern.

We’re still with you Charlie. Don’t lose strength. After all you’ve got your HIPPO!!! So what’s next?

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
