why I don't hunt in the states
I'm much obliged here and I would love to go hunting in the USA.
But only if I was living there.
I wouldn't just come over and kill something, I find, for me hunting is the whole thing. The hunt, the kill, the meat and the trophee, if there is one.
I decided I will only hunt for two purposes, culling weak or overpopulated animals or hunting for meat.
That's why I'm going to start close by.
The hunt I booked is on private property. 10 bowhunters including me and we all get different shootingspots.
It's a silent driven hunt, that means they push the animals out without upsetting them or making them scared and run.
It's just a group of people who will walk in front of the deer and wild boar, no dogs or noise.
The owner says I should get climbing gear because he doesn't believe I can fool his deer on the ground with my camo.
I want to prove him wrong. ( I'll bring climbing gear anyway just in case )
180 Euro's for 4 kills and the only thing I can't shoot is wild boar over 120 pounds. After the hunt the meat is devided between the bowhunters, so I'll be coming home with meat.
There's two species of deer, small deer up to 100 pounds and larger kind like whitetail.
I'm nog going to shoot over 30 yards.
I'm using fmj's with slick tricks 125gr and my ariborne shoots 256 fps, not too fast but plenty of KE.
I'm using Predator Brown deception and maybe a camo screen.
I'll keep you informed.....
