Does anyone still live here?

I registered a while back, but forgot I was registered here! I tried to register, and was told I was already regestered! Well, I guess that is due to OLD TIMER'S DESEASE!

I noticed lots of the posts are quite old here on the African hunting forum, but I haven't lurked on the others yet, they may be more active!

Anyway, thought I'd say hi to those who are hideing out here! My name is Mac, and I'm 70 yrs old, and love to talk Africa, and rifles made for Africa. I post on most places as DUGABOY1, with only Accurate Reloading, and here as MacD37 !

Hello Mac, I check in but don't have much to offer on this forum, tho I do spend quite a bit of time lately on AR as I'm heading for Namibia in a couple weeks. Have seen a lot of your posts there also, thanks for your insight and to a lot of others here and elsewhere, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

Hey Dom, good luck in Namibia! What part, and for what, are you hunting?

I've been thinking about a Leopard hunt in Namib, by tracking, just can't leave Buffalo alone long enough!

Thanks Mac, I'll be an hour East of Windhoek, normal plains game, hunting for Kudu, Gamsbok, Zebra, Impala, Warthog, and whatever else I run across, like maybe a Hartebeest.

Been planning a year now, the biggest kink I've got is with the 20kg checked bag limit and 8kg carryon before you start paying $30 a lb for excess baggage. Been doing a lot of weighing lately. Will be doing some bird hunting also, so in addition to my rifle taking a shotgun. In a Tuffpak, w/o scope & bolt, I'm at 21kg and nothing else in the Tuffpak. I'll make it, but may have to pay a few bucks excess baggage. I am ready !!

Just want to experience Africa, hunt the plains game, and take good mature representatives.

Maybe Buff and Leopard will be in the cards in a few years for me, Leopard by tracking sounds interesting!! Waidmannsheil, Dom.
