I will when I can, but my experience is rather limited so I’ll do more listening than talking. I find this forum most informative and really enjoy reading it.

Glad to have you with us Wyatt! Enjoy and please don’t feel shy about participating! Some of us, I’m a prime example, have forgotten lots of what we learned the hard way. The answers here help refresh our old memories.

Welcome aboard Wyatt. Please tell us a little more about yourself as a hunter. Things like what have you hunted in the past, what kind and caliber rifles do you own. Do you have any near term plans for hunting Africa?

 

[Wyatt Smith]

I enjoy hunting small game quite a bit, squirrel is probably my favorite. I love waterfowl hunting but it’s hard for me to find places to go. My uncle used to have goose pit on one of our farms, that was a blast. But I think my favorite time of year is the first deer season the hunting is good here (pike county Illinois) I haven’t killed any trophy bucks, the antlers don’t excite me much and you can’t eat them, but I shoot a meat doe every fall and my buck tag normally is never filled.
My favorite rifle is a pre 64 featherweight 30-06 and second and third place are model 70 safari express 375 and a obendorf Mauser 98 7mm that was made for the Chilean military. Sadly my stats laws prevent me from using these on deer so I use a BPS 12 gauge
Hunting Africa is a dream and I hope to start a saving account for my safari soon. It may take awhile but I will get there someday

Welcome aboard, Wyatt. You may wish to join the local Chicago/Illinois SCI Chapter as well. It's a fairly active chapter with a summer BBQ, a Christmas Brunch, and a HUGE late winter / early spring gala.

Welcome to our forum Wyatt. If you hunt, reload or just like to shoot big guns, you have picked the best on-line place to be! The collective experience and information in this forum would fill a library.....and it's all free to you....just ask !
