Default I just booked my first hunt !!!

hello again,

most people on HNI know me as the crazy belgian guy with lots of theoretical knowledge when it comes to hunting and decent target skills.
Since living in Belgium makes bowhunting impossible we have to go abroad, like France. But you need to have a IBEP permit and a legal firearm huntinglicence to bowhunt ( yes, I know ! )
Last night a friend of mine who has done some extensive bowhunting sends me this email saying there's a hunt close by ( 2,5h drive into France ) and they are willing to let novice hunters take a shot at bowhunting, being on private property.
I called and I reserved a spot.
NOW I NEED TO PRACTICE my slick tricks and study killzones !!!

I'll let you know how it went offcourse..........

The happy crazy belgian guy

F.

Good luck to you. I was in Belgium in 2004, very cool place.. You should book a hunt in the U.S. someday.

Sweet, I wish you the best of luck. I hope that your bank account can handle whats about to happen if you're successful, bowhunting is more addictive than crack. By this time next year, you'll probably be booking a giraffe hunt in south africa.

Best of luck to you! Heck, he shouldn't have to book a hunt in the US...someone should offer to put him up and let him hunt on their property!
