Long time lurker, new member

Welcome. Where are you going for your 8th safari?
Ill be in South Africa for the beginning then zimbabwe. Out of all my Safaris’s i never got a big roan. My second is a giant sable. Fingers crossed
 
I like your wish list and jealous of your past and future hunting endeavors. Welcome to the site, happy you joined us.
 
Hello Customrelic,

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

Cheers,
Velo Dog.
Cheers Velo,
Ill have to check out your operation. Maybe ill be coming to Namibia soon lol.
 
Welcome aboard Customrelic. You are indeed correct, on AH any hunter worldwide can freely discuss past and future hunts amongst "virtual" friends. Grab a beer and a burger then step up to our "campfire" and join in on the conversation and fun.
 
Welcome!! Let us know if you need any assistance with the rifle import permits, we would be glad to assist you with that.
 
Welcome @Customrelic! I am curious at to why you selected January and February for your next safari.

All good Customrelic,

Regardless if you hunt with Khomas Hunting Safaris or not, any time you have a question, I will try to answer it to the best of my ability, (as will most other members of AH here).

Also, when you get time, have a look at the hunt reports myself and others who have been to Khomas Safaris have posted.

Likewise, the owner of Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris (Philip Hennings) has included several excellent videos in our web site.

No matter who you hunt with, including solo with yourself, stay safe and take many photos, so the rest of us can live vicariously through your adventures.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome @Customrelic! I am curious at to why you selected January and February for your next safari.
Honestly i love hunting Africa when its hot. Normally i go hunting somewhere every October for my birthday. This coming year i have something big in the works for October so I figured why not January and February. Plus im too impatient to wait haha. Thats the biggest reason. I was also offered a fantastic “package” if i came then. In all my safaris i never took a sable or roan. Ive seen 100’s in zimbabwe over the last 20 years but never got a shot. A roan has been on my list forever. Going on Safaris’s you meet people you become friends etc. a ph who I consider a friend and who i have hunted with many times (well over 100 days in total) told me he could get me onto a giant roan and sable. He also offered me a giant male lion and 2 lioness somewhere in or near the kalahari. I wasn’t very keen on the lion because ive heard (and have seen) what goes on down there, but the property is over 70,000 hectares and these lions are roaming free on the property. He has sent me weekly reports as he knows im not into anything tame or canned etc. the lions have killed buffalo and other game so I figured id go and see. Then off to zimbabwe towards feb.
 
welcome welcome welcome
 
Hello all, my name is Antonio and I finally signed up to be a member. I have hunted all over the world for many different species. I will be going on my 8th african safari this January and February. I look forward to interacting and swapping stories with you guys.
Welcome to the posting side
 
Welcome to AH! We look forward to you sharing your stories!
 
Welcome! This is a good place to burn some time!
What is your firearm/caliber of choice these days?
 
Welcome to AH @Customrelic! I look forward to hearing about your adventures ! And picking up some advice along the way! Cheers from Belgium

Thank you.
if i had to choose one rifle/caliber? Thats tough. I collect antique guns so i have a lot. But if i had to choose one field gun, that i have taken everywhere and done the most with it would be my Rem 7mm mag. Over 22 years and shes been by my side for countless adventures. Taken some of the biggest game on the planet with it. That would be my all time fav

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
