Hello all,

I just registered, but I read stuff on this forum every now and then to learn about rifles and to read trip reports. I'm afraid I won't have much to contribute - I have never hunted in Africa and don't have any trips planned - but I enjoy living vicariously through strangers on the internet and their adventures. I've been lucky enough to visit Africa twice - a summer on the east coast of Tanzania and another split between Tanzania and Burkina Faso. I saw some amazing wildlife and I'm jealous of people who hunt there!
 
Welcome to AH. It doesn’t matter you haven’t been on safari or have one planned. Tons of great info on guns, ammo, bullets, travel, equipment, geography, cultures... you name it.
Trust me, you’ll catch the Africa fever. Enjoy.
 
Welcome to AH forester2! Enjoy exploring the site.
 
Welcome.

Did you get any pictures on your trips?
 
Welcome to our place @forester2 There are a great many members who have not and will probably never hunt Africa but they contribute a great deal to the forum

I hunt in New Mexico, where I live, but I'm not very successful. Elk in the fall, coyotes the rest of the time.

Did you get any pictures on your trips?

Yes! I filled up the SD card on my camera in about two days. It must be paradise for real photographers.

Where in NM are you from? One of my favorite states to visit and hunt.

The Albuquerque area. We haven't been here long - I'm from western Colorado and I miss smaller cities and towns. But I get to see some amazing country within just a few hours drive from home.

ABQ Proper, Rio Rancho, Cedar Crest? Great hunting North, South and West of there. Just to let you know DSC has a chapter in NM now. Check it out.
 
Welcome to a great forum!
 
Welcome aboard Forester 2. AH is our respite from the work a day world as well. We can't always be hunting, shooting, buying and scoping new rifles etc. but here we can read and let our minds wander while reading what others of similar persuasions are up to and learning all the while.
 
Welcome Forester 2. I lived many years in the land of Entrapment but further south. Some of the best elk hunting I’ve ever had was spent there.

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.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

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
