Welcome, I am new myself here. The first time I went over to South Africa, I felt the same way about zebra. I had the chance to shoot one, and passed on it. After I cam home and started looking at how beautiful of a mount they make, I changed my mind and finally bagged a old stallion on my last trip.

Thx Bob; Yeah I bet I'll change my mind too. So much to see and harvest I'm sure it will be several trips to attain all of the game Africa has to offer!!! Super excited!!!
 
Welcome to the forum, you are in the right place!
 
Thanks all. Appreciate it.
 
Hello all.

Lifelong north american hunter residing in Magnolia, Texas. I joined in advance of my first safari looking to learn what I can about hunting Africa as I thought this would be a fantastic place for safari knowledge and I learn alot from seasoned veterans with the wisdom and experience whom have hunted all over Africa. Interested in plains game and the big 7. Shipping out to Limpopo in May for my 1st experience and I've decided instead of a bag of plains game as I initially thought, I'm headed for my 1st buffalo hunt. Being a Texas native I love exotics, anything with huge horns attracts me...lol though after speaking to so many at HSCF after joining last year i definitely want to experience the excitement of the hunt. Though my passion since I was a kid was to harvest a big Tom leopard as well. Hoping to do that hunt in 25 or 26; However, not into giraffes or zebras; I just dont see the trophy aspect in either of the species. Like some, since adulthood my primary focus has always harvesting trophy animals. And what a trophy means to me is a mature animal that is at their peak potential in body size and in horn. Though I'm saying this I might end up going after more than just one species or another several times but I honestly seek the very best specimen that I can find to invest in the trophy and the thrill of the hunt. Hoping to learn alot from everyone. I sincerely appreciate the insight in advance.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I sincerely appreciate it.
