Welcome to AH Amado! Enjoy the site and tell us all about the hunt when you get back we love Pics. Who will you be hunting with?
 
Welcome to AH, Amado !
 
amado , welcome to AH, enjoy the site,
 
One good thing about the new year is now your hunt isn't next year it's this year!!!
 
Welcome Amado,

Jacques runs a good Outfit in our area of NW and I'm sure you wont be disappointed.

There are many other outings in the area so you and your daughter should have lots to do if she wanted to take a day off.

Enjoy
Thank you. I did plan on spending an extra few days so she can explore (and shop of course...).
 
New member here and truly appreciative of all the great advice and information offered by all the members of AH (which happens to be my initials so it's a natural).

Hunting in Africa has always been a dream of mine so I'm making it happen this year. I am taking my daughter with me and it will probably be my last time to bond with her before she goes off and leaves us for college so excitement on all levels.

Thanks again for all the great information, allowing me to join this community and Happy New Year.

Hallo and Welcome Mr Amado! Glad you decided to chime in, and am sure that you will have a very good time here on AH and between all this wonderful group of people. All like - minded!

Enjoy your hunt and hope to read up on it here on AH.

Kind regards,

Loodt Buchner
 
Welcome Armando

It is always nice to take the young ones with when one goes hunting. My daughters cant wait to be old enough to hunt their first animals... Hope you enjoy the trip and looking forward to your report

All the best

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
