Guess I should have done this earlier..

[etsonaut]

I'm a born and raised Tennessean. Chattanooga area. Husband and father of two amazing sons. I love to hunt almost anything and am planning my first African adventure with a buffalo priority and Eland/Kudu secondary. I'm a big bore lever gun weirdo and wish they were practical (legal) for Cape Buffalo. I have read every word of every thread here regarding lever guns in Africa. lol. I do own a new Chapuis Elan Classic in 470 NE and I am learning to shoot it effectively. (Sometimes the hard way.) I will be attending SCI in Nashville this week. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of this community and learn from those who have been there.
