Let me thank you personally ALF, for all your help. I know that many of us appreciate your experience and opinions. Captdavid "It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em."

Nothing beats experience, and ALF got quite a bit of that. | |||

As we become older, I'm close to 70, I have lots of experience. I wish I were younger. The young guys want more experience. The ways of life.

Agreed Captdavid! All the experience I have had caused some aches and pains. It's no the miles you've traveled, it's the stops you've made. | |||

I was hunting with a young man of half my age. I am 67 now. I said him I would love to change ages with him, and he said he would not mind, as long as he has as much fun as I have had. | |||

Wise young man. Joyce and I had many discussions about mortality when cancer visited the household. One thing we kept coming back to was that we have lived full lives and everything going forward is gravy. ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

Back to the OP I have been reading and interacting with ALF for 11 years now. I have learned a lot from him. I have learned the hard way a couple of times that you better know what you speak of if you are going to argue with him. He does not post so often any more but all of his posts usually wreak of knowledge and experience. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty. Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born in Texas.— Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Texas in May, 1991. | |||

Alf is a bundle of information on Mausers and has an inviable collection of rifles. I read every post he sends, a wealth of information and has all my respect. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
