A really nice and enjoyable video. Showing more than the usual stuff, the drive in, some of the road sights, some of the pre flight and plane, the camp and of course parts of the hunt.

A well done video.

I want to hunt there!

It is always interesting that Cal shoots his double rifles different to the 'standard' advice, required per some double rifle experts and commentators. One, shooting direct off the sticks or rest. And secondly, using the rear trigger and left barrel first. My comment, is if it works for him that way, and it does work, why not?

Cal, has been selling off a fair amount of his rifles collection recently. Per one post is keeping some of them. And bought a new "old" one, a 20/577/ I hope to show that one on here. And sold off his .577 Howdah handgun, which I had enquired to him about, I am looking for a video on one being fired.

Watch and enjoy this hunting video.

Very good indeed!
Probably be looking for a scoped .400 Double myself before too long, the way my eyes are going...

Hope to see details of Cal's 20/577 soon too, they're fairly rare as far as doubles go.
That will inspire me to take a few pics of mine.

Great to see the plug for getting on with it despite diabetes, or any potentially serious illness for that matter.
Life, be in it!
G'donya Cal!
