Hello from Nebraska

Welcome to AH !

Day 3, we were able to stalk a an Impala that were located in dry marsh area. We watched 3 Impala for 15 or 20 minutes before we were able to close the deal.

The rest of that day through day 4 was a struggle to take a Blesbok. I passed on a shot on day 3 that I was lamenting on Day 4.

Day 5, we were able to take a male Zebra after many stalks. The photos of my Zebra does not truly capture their beauty as in the moment. Similar in my mind to when I shot my first wood duck.

Days 6 and 7, we hunted for a bushbuck without success.

On Day 8 we changed our plan and went Gemsbok hunting. We were able catch them in open field while concealed in the bush.

I am from TEXAS but live in Nebraska!
I have been lurking for a year or so ago.
I am a lifelong wingshooter and lover of gun dogs that is fortunate to occasionally catch a trout on a fly rod.
My friends convinced me to journey to South Africa in 2017 and it was a wonderful trip!
This website was helpful in planning and influences me to wish for a return trip!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
