“ I ended up subtracting it from his tip at the end of the hunt”. You have a bigger heart than I do. I think I would have been asking for a refund !

Just the usual breakfast for you ?

Bugger ! So that’s what caused it !

Monday to Sunday, mmm. Haven’t been before but might make the trip over from Ireland. Aer Lingus has good prices currently.

Mine did !

Thanks Charlie, much as I like the old Diavari on the rifle I think I’ll put the R2 on for Czech next month.

@Charlie64 , what scope were you using on the rifle ? I have an old Diavari-C 3-9x36 on mine. A tad too big for driven. So I’m thinking of putting my Meopta R2, 1,7-10x42 on. Otherwise it’s a matter of taking a Duralyt 1,2-5x36 off my 375 and the pain of rezeroing.

If they tell you to shoot the wrong animal that is out of your budget that’s their problem. The fellow that you are hunting with is called the PH, Professional Hunter.

Try shooting a rifle with one on. A game changer. Life is so much quieter.

Was it difficult to pass ?

I hunted with @BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS this year for 3 buffalo cows on a government reserve. It was 5 great days of hunting topped off with great cooking by Tucker, aptly named, the chef. The hunting was exciting and up close. When you can smell the buffalo you know you are on their doorstep ...
