Hi Stone,
Well it was a bit of a funny situation.
When I got to Heathrow I found that two of us had booked direct and paid for three days shooting and TWENTY others had paid the same price for five days!
The first downside that I could foresee before we got there was the number of guns!
It takes too long, and with that many guns, too much noise, to get in position, so the only pigs left to be pushed to us were either motherless piglets or one or two old boys, deaf or too confident to be bothered, either way not very promising.
During the three days I was there, twenty one pigs were accounted for with two in particular being real big 'tuskers' the rest were, as predicted, piglets.
Large numbers of guns can cover a bigger 'frontage' and be successful but the terrain and transport has to be suitable, well organised and run smoothly but unfortunately that is not always the case, as in this instance.
Some lads had quite a serious hike to get in position and while that was happening the others already in position had a long cold wait before anything happened, if at all.
If it hadn't been for the good company I would not have enjoyed myself at all.
Stand by for further reports when Moose and Boghessian return, they stayed on and moved to a 'Better Place' so hopefully they had more luck.
