    Need a Sambar and Rusa. Had a miss-fire on a Rusa stag back in the 80's with an old Parkerhale .303. It was under 20 yrds away. Still have the cartridge somewhere.

    Will be chasing a Rusa and Chital here in Oz next year. Dunno if I will ever bother with a sambar.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Bugger! I missed a trophy Roe Buck in Scotland with something similar, a cluster fuck combination of rain/fogged scope and a hangfire = a big miss!!! I had reoccurring dreams about that miss for months afterwards. I finally shot a few Roe deer before leaving, but none as good as the one I missed.

    Dam it R93, I'd forgotten about that moment in my life...guess what dream I'll have tonight!!!

    Ha Ha Sorry for the relapse. I miss-fired on a small rusa stag so it wasnt a trophy or anything. I did miss a huge Red stag by shooting a small tree. I still have bad dreams and think I will continue to do so, untill I get one as big.

    You chasing the Rusa with a guide or on private stuff?
    If you wanna chase the sambar here I can point you in the direction of a couple of places

    Dunno if I am allowed to say on here tbh. But he is the only one allowed on the Rusa property.
    He is a forum member so may chime in one day.

    Isn't he a guide though? I thought people promoting you was how you get business not by being hush hush about it? haha
    My old man has been looking for a Rusa hunt so I've been scoping out some guides for him.
