[QUOTE="Guest, post: 41944"] Hi Wombat - I am 49 and would most likely swap with you to be 18 again if i could keep my experiences in this old head! I have been hunting since about 8/9 with my first air rifle and since then have shot pigs consistently over the last 38 years. I have seen pigs and rabbits in numbers which may never be seen again as well as some pristine hunting in Africa. I began hunting in Zimbabwe just after the civil war ended in an area of 2M acres where only 2 operators were found. The same area now has about 8 operators hunting there and the trophy sizes have diminished greatly. My first trip I saw 1500 Cape Buffalo in one herd and in the same area 5 years ago spent 10 days to see 300 total! On the other hand the knowledge [such as this forum] and equipment available is unbelievable compared to 20 years ago. Just that short time ago there were no synthetic stocks; rangefinders; or really accurate factory ammo. If you wanted accuracy then you had to reload. Even in that sphere we have a much greater choice of all components. Enjoy the learning trip! [ 08-19-2004: Message edited by: aussie powder burner ] [/QUOTE]
