So who is the picture of?????

 

[frontiergander]

me, making a little fun. Hard to elk hunt when you think of the idea to take a picture and you start to giggle yourself silly.

Of course, I had the sense to keep my fingers behind the sight and to remove the cap.

And you're doing it wrong.

I guess the guys wearing mossy oak to Africa know better than professional hunters.

 

[frontiergander]

you guys see that episode where they were hunting in africa and a cape charged and the hunter, running backwards, tripped and shot his guide in the back? Thank god he was using solids, because the bullet just went in and out. The guide ended up with permanent damage but lived.

Some of the accounts you hear over there during a charge are gut wrenching. But you never know how you will react during a charge until you are actually in that situation.

I was also reading where a client using a double rifle had always trained to place his finger on the front trigger first. That's how he always shot. Trouble is when he was charged he grabbed the back trigger first and when his first shot failed to stop the charge he instinctively was searching for the back trigger, which, of course, he couldn't find as he had already grabbed it. The buff got real close before the PH put it down with his double rifle.

Then you've got a fancy club there. But I reckon that ain't some fancy cell phone on your right hip.
