An old man was sitting on his porch, as he had done day in and day out for the past several years. One morning a young kid came walking down the street, with something in his hands.
"Whatcha got there?" asked the old man.
"Chicken wire!" replied the kid.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the old man.
"Why, I'm gonna catch me some chickens!" said the kid
"You stupid kid" said the old man "Every dang fool knows you can't catch no chickens with no chicken wire"!
The kid just shrugged and went on his way.

Later in the day, towards evening, the old man saw the kid again.....he was dragging the chicken wire behind him, and there were a bunch of chickens squawking and clucking, trapped in the wire.

The next morning the old man was on his porch as usual, and he again saw the kid walking down the street. As the kid passed the old man's house, the old man noticed he had something in his hands.
"Whatcha got there?" asked the old man.
"Duck tape" replied the kid.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the old man
"I'm gonna catch me some ducks!" replied the kid.
"You dumb kid" said the old man, "everyone knows you can't catch no ducks with no duck tape!!"
The kid shrugged an went on his way........

Later in the day, towards evening, the old man saw the kid again.....he was dragging a strip of duck tape behind him, and stuck to it were a whole bunch of ducks quacking and flapping their wings.

The next morning the old man was sitting on his porch. Again, he saw the kid walking down the street towards his house.
As he got closer, the old man noticed he had something in his hands.
"Whatcha got there?" asked the old man
"Pussy willows!" replied the kid.
"Just a minute" said the old man, "I'll get my hat and join you".:D

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
