I've been stalking here for a bit as a way of doing research on whether a friend of mine and I want to hunt in Africa or Alaska in 2017. What a great problem to have, right?

At some point in time I will do both of them it just depends on what order we do it.

Having grown up blessed by geography with the ability to hunt, fish, and forage in the wild it is no surprise that I am looking to broaden my horizons.

Without waxing poetic here, I look forward to the fun of researching the hunt and learning the various cultures and backgrounds of this truly international collection of hunters, braggarts, and general ne'er-do-wells of the sort that has occupied every campfire the world has known. I'm sure I'll fit right in.
 
Welcome to AH! Pull up a chair here by the fire,take sip of that Whiskey and let me tell you about that time.....
 
Welcome to AH. Have fun planning.

Welcome to AH! Apparently you have been hanging around for a while. That part about braggarts and general ne'er-do-wells is clear indication you've seen @spike.t, @Buff-Buster, @Bobpuckett and others of similar ill repute. Glad to see you joined us in spite of this!! :D
 
Welcome from a fellow Michigander!!! Sorry I missed this post originally (Hey, I'm only a month behind......like I am with the rest of my life!!):whistle:
 
As I said, I've been lurking. I just posted it today, so no sweat.

You were likely out 'shrooming after the bit of rain we just had.

Welcome. I am originally from Jackson but live in Florida now via a few years in Indiana, Texas and Illinois. That is a lot of great people and information which was truly helpful for me when planning to do my first safari and as I now work out if I can do my next in 2016 or 2017.

Right on Tokkie!

Welcome to AH MI Adventurer! Looking forward to having you share your experiences with us. BTW my vote goes to Africa…
 
Welcome to Africa Hunting @MI Adventurer

Be free to ask and wonder out loud about mother nature and all her secrets tucked in deep to the African Bush!

Looking forward to your participation.

Regards,
 
pull up a log mi adventurer, theres always room at this campfire
welcome to AH , enjoy the site
 
Welcome to AH, and yes, I would choose Africa !
 
Welcome aboard. I'm from Michigan as well. After comparing the cost of a guided "fair chase" Elk hunt out west to the cost and probability of success on a guided Plains Game (PG) hunt in Africa my boys and I chose Africa. It takes a while to plan out a hunt so we've booked ours for August of next year.
 
Welcome to the fire place as Tokkie says....and take Phoenix Bill with a pinch of salt..:ROFLMAO: don't believe anything SPike says after 12 at night...

PS...Forgot about ole bluey, his accent takes getting use to...
 
hi welcome aboard :D Beers: and as the internet here in the bush is working at the same speed as the drinking capabilities of phil and simon i.e. snail pace :E Devious: :A Stirring: i have only just managed to see the compliments they have heaped on the more illustrious types on here :E Big Grin::A Yeah::D Cheers:...............and giving up now as its taken so long just to get this to post :sleep:

Welcome MI Adventurer,

You have come to the right place for sure... My vote is for you to hunt Africa first... But then again, I may be a bit biased....;)

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

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...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
