Hello, World

I was 42 for my first trip to Africa, and Im going back this May, at 44
 
Welcome aboard Joey, and thanks for your service. I'm currently 76, why is that important, well prior to the internet and forums like this I thought hunting Africa was a RICH MAN'S GAME. If you were married and had kids to put through college hunting there wasn't an option for those of us with working man's salaries. On the other hand if you were single, African hunts were more plausible. It wasn't till after I discovered the fact that hunting Africa was no more expensive (for an Easterner that is) than a guided Elk hunt that I took the possibility seriously. If you really want to go, do a good job researching a suitable hunt and start saving your money. Go as soon as you can, because once you do, you'll find a way to go back.
 
Welcome!

I’ve been traveling all over the African continent since my early 30’s.. but didn’t actually hunt Africa (first hunt was PG) until my mid 40’s..
 
Joey, welcome to the AH forum! Again thanks for your service.
I made my first trip at 69 young years. Now booked for number 5 and starting out my granddaughter at 13.
 
Hello and welcome!
 
Welcome to AH Joey!
 
Hi Joey, welcome to AH !
 
Hi all, I've been a lurker for a while and finally got around to making a profile recently. Been to Africa (Djibouti), though not to hunt animals—"social work" for the army. I'm yet young and I'm wondering how old were you all when you made the maiden trip to Africa?

IDeagle94,

Best regards,

PS:
I was 50 years young when I first went to Africa.
Now, 5 Safaris later I am 67.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
