Gryph,

I really would like to hunt them again and perhaps take another.

I MUST enter the ballot again, haven't done so for years, but who knows one might get lucky again.

Nowadays however the vintage gets in the way, but the worst would be, having to forgo the hunt if selected, better than not trying at all. AND vintage is so often in February nowadays that perhaps a March hunt (or April) is not impossible.

Any public land worth looking at? (PM me if you wish or don't tell me at all

)

If I get a rifle in 6x70R I will be keen to give it a run on a hog deer stag or hind.
