Re: Self-guided dangerous game hunting?

Dead serious... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to pull something lik this... That's my opinion anyway

With a crew I'll of course rely on the tracker when it comes to finding the right animal(I.m no expert in ftracking and finding an ele)... getting there I rely on myself to judge wether to shoot or not.. My and my crews safety are more worth than some pounds of ivory.. And, I'm a firm believer in going steady and keep my head cool. Fast reaction when needed if charged..

A/D-escending mountains in Norway with temp of -15C, lots of snow and ice, snowkiteing in heavy winds.. Living and hunting in remote rainforests of central new-zealand for longer periods of time, hunting Thar and chamois in the southern alps of NZ, I've done it all, and done it alone..! All this require a steady course and a cool head.. Doing things the right way!
One thing that is absolutely sure is that a screw up will probably cost you your life in any of the situations mentioned. Bearing that in mind, and not rushing things, I think I'll have a good chance of getting out of it alive!

This idea of mine about hunting dangerous game isn't any different, it's a different setting, yes, the animals can bite back, yes, but because of that I'll arm myself with adequade gear, and stay on the safe side when actually hunting. I've always made my first shot count, so I'd rather let an ele go, than wound.. If woundeed, I reckon a .470 in the head is just as good as four... Dangerous game in africa doesn't lay up behind every root just to charge you unprovoked...I'm talking about bovines her, not the game that eat meat..! Keep outside the comfortsone of the animal, at least until you plan to make a kill, and shoot straight!
It has been done before by men like Charlie Puff, von Meuerers and a lot of other more or less well known hunters of today....

I think this is possible for the right person.... The q's isn't IF for me, but HOW and WHEN..

I don't want this to end up like a string of posts that is pro or con using a guide... I don't oppose to using a guide, but I'd prefer not to when it comes to this..

Some might find this a bit cocky? It sure isn't meant to be so from my side...
