Welcome to AH

I am always very jealous of those who get to go on their first safari. You only get one first.

Where you headed? What’s on your priority list or dream list? What outfitter, if you don’t mind me by asking.

Going to South Africa with KMG, cape buffalo and Kudu are the priority!

Awesome, I heard they are good outfit, hope you have a great time. Buffalo and Kudu are a great starter, you're jumping straight into the relative deep end.

I just joined too and am from MT as well. Very interested in an African safari and would love to hear any and all details you’re willing to share.

So far most of what I have been doing is learning. I have been hunting in Montana with my dad since I was a little kid but planning for Africa adds a whole range of complexities that I have never dealt with, and I haven't even left yet, ! Just figuring out what gun to take and how to get the rifle and ammo across the pond requires several unfamiliar steps...4457, SAP 520, permits,etc. All the planning is fun but I'm really looking forward to actually going!

Depending upon where you are in MT, I would be happy to connect over a beer and share my experiences over my recent four trips, took firearms on the last two.

Welcome to AH!

What part of eastern Montana? I've enjoyed hunting deer and antelope there for almost 50 years, and I made my first hunt in South Africa 25 years ago. Time flies !

I live in SW MT in the Madison Valley so a little ways away from you but always happy to jump on a phone call and answer any questions if it helps another AH member out. Just PM me

Thanks, I'm originally from Butte so I get over that way a few times a year.
