When I started in the kaimais 18 years ago, it took me 10 outings to kill one deer. Then progressively I started to get down to 5 trips for one deer. Now I am between 3 and 4 . Two and half years...

Cheer up. Straight out of basic training at the age of 18 & still in love with the SLR 7.62, and having read all the books of the day, Rex Forester, Philip Holden, Mike Bennett, I went out and shot...
