I have been hunting in VA and NC my entire life. Turkey hunt in the spring, and deer hunt in the fall. I have always thought about hunting Africa since I was a kid and my plans right now are to go in 2026. I feel life is too short to wait until retirement to start doing the hunts that we all think about as a kid. I came to this forum looking for a 9.3x62 but love all of the information that is here. Nice to be here, and look forward to talking to many of you!

@404Pruitt
I have a similar story to yours. Took my first safari in 2022. I had very high expectations from a lifetime of reading about Africa. The real Africa met all those lofty expectations and even exceeded a few. You're right...just do it.
PM if you have questions. Planning is where most things go wrong.

Welcome aboard! I'm in WV...a couple states from you. My good buddy lives in Cary...so not too far from you. You'll find good stuff on here! I'll be "the first" to say it...look at a .375 H&H as your first one. Get a Model 70 Safari Grade and you're good to go

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
