Hunted my first animal with a big bore last night... 101 kg Bushpig, lets just say its a lot more fun than with the standard 270 or 30-06 and I'm definately addicted now "A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct. Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than by a mob of onlookers. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact." | ||
