I do appreciate all your kind comments. It was a memorable time, and I am keen to return for DG, perhaps in the Caprivi.

This weekend I am meeting some other African veterans to compare notes and to shoot their DOUBLE RIFLES. I hesitate to go because I suspect that they will convince me proper form demands that elephants and buffalo be taken with a heavy side-by-side!

Thanks to NitroX and all the others here who inspired me to hunt in Africa, and, now, to explore double rifles.
