Thanks, fellows. Yep, Darryl, most of us have at some stage stalked a termite mound, and every time we go out, there is always a termite mound or log trying to pass itself off as a feral animal, causing us to pause and give it a careful looking-over with the binoculars. One buffalo that I shot down last year with the Ruger .450/.400 was behind a termite mound, with his boiler room just showing (for the second, dropping shot); I think I clipped the termite mound, but the Woodleigh Hydro still kept its course and zipped through the chest, collapsing the already-hard-hit bull instantly. Termite mounds make good practice for our arrows, too, unless they are the super-hard ones. They are ideal for archery practice (stump shooting) in the wet season, when they are softer. The Douglas fir arrows are amazingly-tough, and are rarely harmed even when bouncing-off the worst termite mounds, whereas the modern carbons and aluminiums wouldn't handle that. Termite mounds are also good for checking your rifle; they come in all shapes and sizes.
