Will do! But I'm currently planning a trip to NZ in May next year to hunt Sika Deer, Chamois and Tahr - we'll be taking a couple of Weatherbys for that. Buffalo hopefully get onto Buffalo with the Jeffery DR late next year.

Not usually - as omnivores they get into some pretty disgusting stuff and are often full of parasites that I don't want to risk. I have taken the meat from some young sows in the past. I only had room for venison this trip.
