Good day: I am from South Africa and grew up farming - still have not kicked the bad habit. I shoot a .416 Rem Mag Winchester Mod 70 ( Portuguese build) topped with a Leica 1 -6.3 illuminated. I really do think the Leica scopes are up there with the best. I have hunted in South Africa , Namibia and Zimbabwe and dangerous game wise have hunted buffalo, hippo and a tuskless. For the buff and hippo I used 400 gr Barnes TSX and the tuskless Swift Breakaways all in front of Varget. Cheers

Welcome aboard Beefeater. You've already taken more dangerous game than most of us. What is on your "docket" for future hunts? What part of South Africa are you from? Where do you normally hunt?
I am pretty hooked onto buffalo. I hunted 2 buffalo in the Eastern Cape with Lalapa Safaris which were great experiences. The hippo (on land) I hunted last year in Gache Gache on lake Kariba with Tinie Kok who operates MJk Safaris and followed it up this year with a buff / tuskless in Makuti with Tinie again. Busy talking to Tinie about 2024. I have three young sons so they are shooting up the plains game budget in South Africa now .
Something I would love to do in SA is bushpig with dogs in Natal or the Eastern Cape. Other hunts that interest me are dwarf forest buffalo , giant forest hog and yellow back duiker.

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.
On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.
its going to be a good year!
