Charlie Mitchell - IN-CLOSE FULLY GUIDED Success Story #23


Possessing intimate knowledge of Sambar behaviour and the areas he hunts, Errol walked me into a carefully selected remote location in dense forest where - for tactical reasons - I waited alone in ambush for this magnificent Sambar Stag which I was able to kill with a single shot to the neck from 24 paces.

Using a Browning Safari Grade 30/06 fitted with a bright Swarovski 2.5 to 10 x 56 scope hired to me by Errol, I was able to kill the stag cleanly despite the very low light, with a single shot to the neck from 24 paces."
