Meat hunter from Africa

[TontoDean]

Welcome Amigo from the great state of Texas. Namibia is more regulated for hunting than most African countries. My favorite place to hunt.

A very good day to all,

While I am rather fond of guns I have an extra portion of liking in bolt action rifles, and the more accurate the better.
My favorite hunting destination is Namibia especially the more open savanna areas... but I am bias as I grew up on a 20 000 acre farm there.
My first hunt experience was at the age of 10 on some warthogs, followed by oryx, kudu etc. Hunting for me was and is more about the meat than the trophy (bring on that biltong baby), because I like eating more than looking. That said I enjoy the company of all respectable hunters. (Respectable because there are those that **** on the farmers/hunting safari lodge couch, those types I avoid)

In USA terms my gun safe is but a slow start with the following:

Sako 308 A7 Range, because everyone should have the legend. (just do not take it hunting in savannas)
2x Tikka 6.5 creedmoor (with mods)
1x Tikka 300 WSN Lonewillow tuned
2x SAVAGE 243WIN VLP
1x Custom rem700 6xc Lonewillow by Danie Joubert
1x Custom rem700 6BRA Lonewillow again
1x Rem700 375 H&H classic from the 70s
1x 223 Ruger - Schoolfees A G2

Some carry Glocks and a BushMaster AR....

Future plans is for 25 creed, 7 SAUM or 7-65PRC AW ... al done by local Legend Danie Joubert.

Optics o. Optics.. First favorite is Leupold, then a far second NF (that I have couple) US Optics, Element, Arken.

I also enjoy reloading my own ammo... or no I dont... I just like the way they shoot more accurate. My OCD cant handle factory ammo 9 times out of 10.

Hope this introduction is ok... and sorry, English is not my first language.

Welcome aboard mate

Magical place, Namibia. I hunted south of Windhoek, and I'd sure like to see the northern part of the country.

Welcome from Northwest Alabama. I reckon your English is as good as anybody's here.

Welcome! That is a nice start. I go to hunt Namibia too. I hunt by Otjikondo. About 45 min northwest of Outjo. I really enjoy it over there. Where do you live in the USA?

I am with you on that one!

I currently live in South Africa... I have hunted in both countries.

QUESTION NAMHUNTS: I thought that there were some restrictions on the number of guns a civilian could own in Namibia. Is this not the case??
Just wondering.....

My mistake. I saw the USA part and the number of rifles and an AR, I didn't think you could own that many rifles or AR's over there.

In Namibia and South Africa if you have dedicated hunter or sport status you can own more. Normally you can have 4 with just one handgun.
When you have dedicated status you must be a member of an organisation... Like collectors, hunt or sport shooting club.

That said there is organisations working hard to take our guns.... some financed by a US person with the surname $oros... Lovely guy he is.
