Hello from Central Texas

Welcome to the best forum in the world!
 
Like a lot of others I’ve been a lurker for a while and recently decided to pull the trigger and formally join AH.

Married to an incredible woman, and we have two awesome kids ages 11 and 9. We live on our ranch near Rosebud TX.

I’ve hunted deer and quail on ranches in Mexico most of my life but always dreamed of Africa after reading Hunter by J.A. Hunter.

This morning I ran into a member of AH at the Ft Worth Texas Trophy Hunter Extravaganza and had a great conversation. I also booked a safari in Tanzania this morning and bought a CZ 550 416 Rigby the day before.

My safari is with Pierre Van Tonder in the Selous game reserve. I have 10 day two buffalo hunt booked for Aug 2026.

This forum, even for a lurker, has been a tremendous resource and I’m looking forward to getting to know more of you.

Cheers
welcome welcome welcome

enjoy the hunt

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
