I'll write it... I'll interview you. Well, we can go stay in a hut somewhere and hunt morning and evening. Spend the heat of the day and the cold of night with you regaling me with your yarns. I'll...

First deer we sold was at Mahi, driving back out in Vauxhall with no exhaust. I’d just left school and Dad had given me £20 for the holiday with two mates. We had toured the length of the North...

Hey bro, Alliants max loads seem bloody high considering a lot of people hitting pressure round the 62 - 63 grain mark with the 178s in Tikkas.

Spent some time in the Caples Valley in, I think, 1964-5, with an open sighted No. 4 Mk1 .303 Lee Enfield that I'd modified: Monte Carlo butt, and a shortened, tapered fore end. I thought this deer...
