Thanks for the compliments! Almost all Africa Hunting members here deserve some praise!
Africa Hunting forums provide an online community of persons with a common interest in hunting in Africa. That includes the animals, trophies, rifles, cartridges, professional hunters, trackers, skinners, food in camp, travel to and from, malaria, injuries, bugs, snakes, tipping, do’s and don’ts, and a thousand other things!
Toward the above, we are all from different backgrounds, hunting experiences, and in different stations in life. Because of the differences, we all bring something different to this forum. We all have strengths and weaknesses in regards to hunting, shooting, gun collecting, gunsmithing, fitness, travel, politics, finances, and life in general. Many of us share our knowledge freely expecting nothing in return.
I have made friends on AH, most of whom I’ve yet to meet. For those I have met in person, it was always an honor and a privilege. I’ve also gained have a few protégées and admittingly I have those I follow who unknown to them, are mentoring me.
Yesterday I observed there were over 10,000 persons logged into AH. Ten thousand! Gosh that’s a lot of hunters and probably a few anti-hunters. Some of us are very active on this forum and others may be reading every single post to learn but very rarely posting. But occasionally for some uncommon threads, unknown members post amazing answers that simply floor me with their accuracy and wisdom!
