Ditto on that mate… totally agree …. I don’t think there would be many on here that disagree and I reckon we’ve all been there….,, years have taken there toll ,no issues there , but doing the hard yards on many hunts.. Yes .. I’ve been there with an old.303 with iron sights and still relish those days…… what makes me now laugh is I have nephews in their 20,s who use Helicopters to get into the bush where we once tramped!!….. with heavy packs!!!!…… different strokes for different folks!
