I'm a very long time lurker who has had nothing useful to add to the amazing conversation, but hope to change that soon! I've enjoyed reading your many informative posts and there was a time when I found some great articles too, like "Bullet Wounds on Game: How Survivable are They?" by Ganyana.

I have had an interest in Africa since I was a boy but never had the opportunity to scratch the itch. My wife and I are hoping to go in 2027.

While I obviously have no pictures from Africa, I will share one from my neck of the woods to make my first post a touch more interesting. This is a late season Whitetail I shot in Northern BC as the sun was getting ready to set. It's a great memory because my son, who was 6 at the time helped track the buck by following the blood on the snow. Oh the excitement when he found it! That part was better than shooting the deer!

Welcome to AH. I love the little story about your son tracking the deer. Where's the Pic of him with the deer?
All the best to you and your son.

Welcome. Hope your tracker gets to visit Africa with you one day.
 
Sorry, no picture of tracker with that deer! Not sure if he will join us or not. He is 19 now and in university, so we will see if there is an opportunity for us to share the experience. Of course it would be wonderful, but as we plan we will get a better idea of the cost and time of year (so he doesn't miss school) for the hunt.
 
Good day! Welcome to AH! Great memories you made with that deer!!

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
