Bob, of course you can also use it for that :sneaky:

These Loden Ansitzsäcke are a real blessing for outdoors.
When you're out at night hunting foxes or boars, they really do the trick.
From -10 Celsius always take the bag here and my dachshund on my lap, he likes it too.
Anyone who freezes is stupid or poor (or a soldier who can't help it :().

If Africa is on your mind, remember this. Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end, the faster it goes.
 
When I was 18 I spent a fall and winter guiding and trapping. The guy that owned the trap line and guiding outfit was around 62, a legend. Snowshoeing over a pass, I would constantly get ahead and find myself waiting for him. Finally he said, "Son, you are never going to get rich doing this and if that is what you want you are doing the wrong thing. You might as well slow down and enjoy the journey."
Somehow I feel that advice is applicable to hunting and well, life, I guess...
 
  1. Be Patient
  2. Know the beast your after
  3. Only use gear (weapons especially) you trust and are comfortable with.
  4. Know YOUR limitations. I almost died in West Texas 2 years ago.
  5. Be Patient
 
Wind, pressure, and availability. Like already said, if they ain't there, you're not going to be successful.
 
Don't leave deer to find deer.
If you can, get closer.
If you have any doubts, don't pull the trigger.

(Probably in increasing order of importance)

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
