Frankly, it's up to the individual PH to decide if having the client along on any follow up is a benefit or "otherwise" - Personally, If I'm not absolutely certain of the client I'd prefer him to stay in the truck when I'm doing a night follow up on Mr Spots...... and if I have another PH around, I'd rather do it with him than a client. Any more than 2 firearms in that kind of situation (IMO) is a liability.

I find that heavy jackets slow your shooting down and personally prefer a light jacket or no jacket and a shemagh wound round my neck. Also no ammo belts etc around the waist that might give the cat extra purchase. Then I rely on my shooting to stop the cat before it reaches the tracking party. I also like to make sure the trackers have a simi, panga or other long knife...... and nothing else except a good torch.

Shotguns of any kind from my experience are a waste of time.

The bullet doesn't have to travel all the way through the cat - it just has to travel far enough to kill it or at least, put it down.

Many people won't agree with my statements but that's their perogative as it's mine to form my own opinions. I'm an ugly bastard now but I've been hunting DG in Africa for over a quarter of a century and so far, (touch wood) nothing has got close enough to make me any uglier....... and that's the way I want to keep it.
