Hello,My name is Rick.I'm from Connecticut,U.S.A and I found this site while researching a Bowhunt to Africa.There are so many choices,but I'm pretty sure I'll do a Plains game,10 day,5 or 7 animal hunt to S.A. I really wanted to go for Buffalo but that seems like one of the pinnacles,not a first trip kind of hunt.I'm thinking July looks good this summer but could go other months also.I have harvested by bow about 25 whitetails and a wild boar,and usually bowhunt about 40 days a year.Any advise would be great,because I'm ready to book and want to firm up the trip and air.Thanks
 
Welcome to AH Rick! South Africa is an incredible bowhunting destination and have no doubt that you will have the time of your life there. I am sure that you will find lots of good advice here and don't hesitate to ask questions. For specific information pertaining to hunting/bowhunting in South Africa please check out this article Hunting South Africa Information.
 
Welcome Rick, You will love this site, alot of collective knowledge in these parts. Scott

P.S. Check out Koedoeberg webite, I am hunting with Willem in June this year. But, there are alot of outfitters/PH's on this site and haveing read most of their sites they would all give you what you desire on your hunt in SA.

Welcome Rick! I am not to far from You up here in NH. Hold on tight because once you go over to Africa with a bow you are in for one hell of a ride. Lots of bowhunters here so feel free to ask any questions.
 
Thank you all for the information.There is just so much of it!I was up very late looking up as much as I could but I need a break,my eyes hurt.Going out to look for sheds,probably will firm up my plans within a week or so.Glad I stumbled onto this site.Rick
 
Rick,

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

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?
