Thread: Falling into the same old rut

Good points.
Having cut my teeth hunting the Kiamias especially the falls weekends where almost always a bust.
That was back in the 90 when it was still a gravel road and no big tar seal car park.
Now days with the foot traffic to the top at probably around 10 people a day (I’d guess) it doesn’t seem to matter.
Wind is still the thing that will stuff it up. But yeah weekends are I have also found not as productive.
Interesting observations on those callers.

I’ve read more than once in old stalking books how if you wanted to be good at it you should smoke.
Those authors obviously found no evidence of it spooking deer.
If also seen fresh tracks around a D8 bully on Thomsands track when we went forward to see how to clear the next section.
We left it running too! Had a laugh at that.

Yeah - don't know about smoking, I did it for 66 years and at this end of the game it's biting me in the arse - despite me quitting because I ran out of baccy some 5 years back.
The interesting thing about it though - is smoking never affected my fitness, I could walk with the best of them - and wheeze just as hard

Holy shit - that makes me older than I am, maybe I only smoked for 57 years ................. 14 plus 5 plus X = 77

Therefore - X = 77 divided by 14 plus 5
Shit - I smoked less than 4 years ................. ?
Ah - blew that one ............ X = 77 minus 14 plus five = 58.

I smoked for 58 years

I think I used that math to pass the Autism Test
