Good stuff!!!30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Baie geluk Leon! Daardie rooibok het seker al BAIE ander ramme doodgemaak, of ernstig beseer. As 'n ram eers geleer het om met net een horing te baklei, staan die gewone twee horing ramme net nie 'n kans teen hom nie! Kyk na die slytasie op sy horing - hy was 'n dodelike vegter! Mooi gedoen om hom "uit te haal"! Geluk ook aan pa met 'n goeie opleiding en voorbereiding van nog 'n jong jagter!

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules! My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt! | |||

I can smell the smoke from the Brai and see the smiles from the hunter as everyone tells him how good his Impala tastes.

Congrats Leon!!! Thats a beautiful old Imapala also- just the kind I would like to shoot! Cheers Buzz | |||

Leon, excellent shooting. I wasn't able to take an impala like that until I was 58 years old (and Andrew McLaren can give you the truth on that!), so you have a big head start on almost all of us. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

Congratulations Leon, a wonderful ram. I have hunted a single horn ram twice this year but he is just too smart to take a chance or make a mistake. Good hunting next year. Geluk, jong man!! | |||

Cal, my dad is Leon van Rooyen, but he stopped hunting pro in 1991. I do not know if he hunted down in the Greytown area. He was more a Limpopo valley and Botswana guy.
