Well for a start i hunt for myself or a few reciprocal friends...i dont have clients and yes you may think it a big statement but i`m happy to back myself,i never mentioned a bolt rifle at all either and my statement was with an auto or double in mind.....ok howls of protest i have heard them all before about autos on charging animals but every one to their own i say.....and you have to admit some folks can be better shots than the average Joe too plus a "readability" of game that many will never get...
IE some hunters will repeatedly bring home the bacon whereas many will go forth plenty of times but never score...please dont think i`m one of them cobber

I`m sure that you have been around the traps long enough to sort the wheat from the chaff yourself eh! Surely you know fella`s in your own circle of wisdom that havent been to Africa that could nonethe less cut the mustard but then i`m also sure that you could know plenty that could never cut the mustard no matter how many frigging times they went to Afica. Am i wrong in being confident of my own abilities you tell me! I ask you the same question yourself in return also.
I also imagine that the worst case scenario is for someone of the wrong ilk with no confidence at all shitting in his pants about having to knock down a charging leopard or whatever and with possibly disastrous consequences.

I almost took umbrage at your silly little "charging sambar" line but then i have been in many other hunting camps so i know what to expect

note two grins today.
