Spectacular looking scenery and a great write up. Thanks for sharing. I hate going uphill.

Maybe try some modelling clay ?

“ 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.

Elmolinodeviento.com is in Spain. They do ship abroad. Some nice stuff well made and reasonably priced.

A lot of people will gawk at the buffalo after the shot. The PH’s job is to keep the client alive and bring a successful conclusion to events. A double rifle with an empty barrel is now a single shot. If things go pear shaped you’d be glad of the instruction.

@WR Thomson , welcome to the forum. I have greatly enjoyed reading your writings. If anyone else hasn’t read Ron Thomson’s books get ordering now.

Quad sticks are initially a bit difficult to deploy and use. However once you get used to them they’re a game changer. My ViperFlex Journey sticks accompany me every time I go hunting. They’ve enabled me to take shots on occasions and distances that previously I would have had to pass on.

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.
