Hey everybody my name is Bridger

So just some background I live in the western United States. I love hunting and most of my hunting experience has been with mule deer, elk, pronghorn, ducks, and mountain lions. I am currently preparing for a hunt in South Africa in September. So it looks like there is a lot of experienced hunters on this forum so any tips or advice would be great. I am super excited to hunt in Africa and excited to be part of this forum.
 
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH.
You may find a few folks here that have been around the block.

Where are you hunting? and by that I mean with whom.
 
Welcome to AH
 
Welcome to AH Bridger! Might you be a Montanan? Bridger being the giveaway.
 
Well I've surrounded ya. Lived in Idaho to the north and now to Arizona to the soutch.
 
Welcome to the forum sir!

Have a great time in South Africa, and enjoy embrace every moment - there will be lots of them!
 
Welcome to AH! There's a lot to be learned looking through old threads and just ask any questions that come up as you prepare for the trip. My experience has been if you ask a question here you'll soon get several good answers. A few tips: treat all your stuff with permethrin for the ticks (you're going to see a few), shoot off Africa style sticks as you practice, take LOTS of pictures, plan on a few extra animals after you get there and become awe struck and finally - you may as well start planning safari #2 while you're at it because you'll go back.
 
Welcome Bridger, enjoy the site. I too will be hunting Africa for the first time this September.
 
Welcome to a great site.
 
Gday bridger

Welcome Bridger. As mentioned already you will no doubt begin planning the second hunt before the first one ends. What animals do you plan to hunt while in South Africa.
 
Welcome! !!

Enjoy the planning too!
 
Welcome to AH Bridger! As others have said browse and search the site, lot of valuable information here. Nice to have you with us.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
