Hunter from Miami :cool:

Hello, welcome
 
No, I believe you are referring to Wayne Van Den Bergh. Is not him
I know Wayne when I see his picture, there was a black guy on Book Your Hunt that was offering elephant hunts that resembles the guy on the right side of that photo. Thought maybe that was him. Thanks!

Fantastic, thank you so much! I'm booked up the next year or so but I will take it you would recommend hunting with Chris? Accommodations good?
 
Welcome to AH Masai! Looking forward to your contribution.
 
Welcome to AH and congratulations on such wonderful animals. My husband hopes to hunt elephant in the future but we are still trying to figure everything out. Great to have you hear. Happy adventures. Sue Tidwell
 
Greetings Masai,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

I agree with Kevin Peacocke that, it is generally the majority of us, who will likely be learning from you and not the other way around.

Your choice of rifle is great.
Some folks have moaned about the CZ 550 rifles, mostly regarding their roughness and failures to feed from the magazine.
I have owned several of them, in as many different calibers, from 6.5x55 through .500 Jeffery.

All worked perfectly, first shot and every shot, except for the .500 caliber.
It would not feed from the magazine (moan moan).
So, I had a Proper Gunsmith (Andy Hawk, in Anchorage, Alaska) re-shape the follower, with his milling machine and carefully hand file the rails, ever so slightly.
Now it feeds perfectly.

Anyway, Cheers for now,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome to AH ! Would love to hear some more about your adventures!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
