You're a natural Rumpy.
Only reason you missed those tahrs is the wind was blowing at zillion miles an hour.
Was hunting with a couple of swedes and the weather was just the same as when me n rumpy were trying to connect, anyway they(the swedes) estimating a 12 inch drift at 200 mtrs, and they were bang on. So no wonder trying to connect was a bang/ n hope.
