Greetings from the Peoples Republic of Austin,Texas

Plainsman, welcome to the AH forum! Looking forward to your input.
How about a little report and pictures from some of your Africa adventures?
 
Well, I don't have any recent trip reports, but I'm posting a picture with great sentimental value. Some of you may have known Simon Burgess, who was killed recently by an elephant in Zambia. I'm attaching a picture taken at the Kwalata camp in the Luangwa valley (ca. 2011 or 2012). Simon is second from the left. He was a remarkable professional hunter, and an intelligent, witty conversationalist in camp. He's sorely missed.

Welcome to AH !
 
I have visited this site for years, and always enjoyed the discussions, but for some reason I never had joined. Lurking is at an end. I'm in Austin, and have hunted Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia over the course of 9 trips. I'll be back in Botswana for #10 next year.

Hello Plainsman,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

We look forward to seeing photos posted and hunting yards spun.
And personally, I am always curious about what rifles, ammunition, iron sights if any, also optics, hunting shoes and various other related equipment that, fellow hunters use.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome from a fellow Austinite. Having lived here for 27 years I am retiring and moving to Gillespie county this year. This is not the same town that it was when I was an undergrad in the early 70s. As Harry Selby said-“Too many people”.

I've been here since 1981, and the current place has nothing to do with the city I moved to. I frankly don't much like Austin any more, and have a large number for friends who are moving an hour away --- some to Fredericksburg and Kerrville, some to Salado. It's an interesting transition.
 
The good news is that your house is certainly worth a lot more than when you bought it.

That’s quite an understatement. Unfortunately, Fredericksburg is becoming a suburb of Austin.
