You are having a very active safari! Congratulations and I am happy to hear about the Rigby

….i have that dam song in my head now….

Well….it looks like rain every day. The only rain gear I have is for goose hunting, so not good. I find lighter gear just gets wet and sticks to you. I think a brimmed hat will be the solution. Stuff to keep the guns dry too. How do the Buffalo react to the rain? Any suggestions for hunting...
