It must have been late when you were reading this Mike.

I did ask about the rifle the PH carries.

The original question in the book was about the client.

None of the PHs where I hunted in 2011 in RSA had guns with them when I hunted PG.
It was Buffs and Rhinos there.

I think it all depends on the area you hunt we encounter Ele on a daily basis and you never know with them things........

My best always

Don't have any dangerous game on the range.

That's my thoughts.

Welcome aboard KR! That rifle of yours has a lot of family history and character about it. You ought to post a picture of it for all to enjoy.

I noticed he did not mention his true choice for backup!
At longer ranges it is not great, but close up, devastating!

K-Rat rolled a running jackal we were both shooting at one morning and our Bushman tracker was trying to follow up with two softball size rocks clutched in each hand. I would have loved to seen him in action but we never located the jack.

I still wish that I had a video camera to capture the action preceding this picture being taken.
It was an spectacle of truly incredible proportions!
