Hello everyone. Thought my first post should be an introduction. I’ve been reading here for a year or so. So much good info here. 35 y/o and basically a self taught hunter, still a lot to learn and whatnot. I’m not overly accomplished / experienced, but I’m having fun doing it regardless. My interests in hunting are growing and I plan on traveling to Africa within the next couple of years. As well as Europe I hope. Other than hunting, newest addiction is big bore rifles. Too much good info in some of these threads, kinda want them all now lol. Thanks ahead of time

Bugbee, welcome to AH! Hunting is a life long learning experience. You never learn it all! I’ve hunted since I got a Sears 22 single shot at 6 years old, but I learn something new on almost every hunt! You just have to keep looking for something new.
Hope you make it to Africa sooner than later! Great experience!

Welcome aboard bugbee. In one of the earlier posts someone said hunting is a lifelong learning experience. Truer words were never spoken. We are going to have to speak with Jerome about getting "CEU" points. What have you hunted in the past? What kind and caliber rifles do you own? Do you reload?

Like most ppl in texas, white tail. Have been overly unsuccessful hunting them it feels like. Still fun though! I did get somewhat luck and took an aoudad out near possum kingdom. Other than that, mostly dove hunting. I am planning a diy hunt for black bear in the spring. We will see how it all goes. Currently, my "big bores" are the .375 ruger, .375 h&h, and a .416 rem mag. On the hunt for either a .416 rigby, .450 rigby, or a .458 lott, or maybe..... dang it! List keeps growing lol! Dream gun is a double in .470 NE. It's not so much a need as a want thing with me. I just enjoy them. I haven't ventured into reloading yet. I'm sure i will eventually though.
