I am making my first hunt to the continent of Africa next May.
This trip has been scheduled for about 10 months now...but last week I had my first (recalled) dream about the hunt.
In the dream, I realized I had been in-country about 5 days, but had yet to hunt. Meanwhile, there were other folks in camp, hunting away! My trip was half-burned, and I did not even have my rifle out of its case yet!
I reached into my pockets and found two of my 300 H&H handloads with the Barnes TTSX. They were severely tarnished and the blue tips of the bullets were worn clean off due to being jostled so much in my pocket.
At this point I started to wonder WTF??? Then I woke up.
