Nitrox, Im getting the feeling that things are becoming stressed between us, so Id like us to take a breath. I certainly mean you no disrespect and I can acknowledge that your opinions are yours. Maybe its possible to go alone in the woods of Australia after dangerous game, IDK. Im not even sure what is considered DG there. Here in the US, we can hunt Black Bear and Wild Boar without a guide. Frankly Im not sure about Brown Bears, although I suspect its possible to hunt them without a guide at least in some circumstances. I may be wrong; but Ive been lead to believe that it is NOT possible in South Afrika.

YES my hunt is my hunt. No I dont want anyone else shooting my animal EXECPT in the most gravest extremes BUT that facts are the facts as to who must be present; and what their roles are for the hunt. In MY case one sot was enough. Has that always been true, as in the case of the charging Boar obviously no; but in that case a reload was successfully made.

Will I hunt alone with the Martini 577 thats being built, probably as least after getting to know her well enough to feel confident. Will it be my ONLY gun I take into the field--well NO.

Hunting with a single shot has a long history back to the days of muzzleloaders. Were there tragedies im sure there must have been but they didnt stop hunting. As DRs became available they were used but did not replace single shots

If it's not custom, it's just borrowed
