YESSSSS!

when I leave the truck, I put on my hunting belt that has a knife and four extra rounds. The times I was quite a distance away from the truck with my kill; and several were taken at dusk, the PH has either the tracker or skinner retrieve the truck.

I hope this string remains active, because it will hopefully prove to be a great "reality check" for those who think it's too late for them to hunt Africa in their 70s and 80s. This is a fantastic motivational topic!

I can vouch for South Africa; it's is a good place to hunt with family. I met a man and his three kids during my last hunt and was surprised that he takes them all every year. I've only hunted in RSA and can't comment on the other countries, but I know RSA isn't the only safe place to hunt on...

The debates surrounding lead vs monolithic bullets should look to field studies and their comparisons. I know there are many already done, but get them published or on a chart where selection decisions can be made. I am always hesitant on trying out new or different ammo that doesn't already...
