    Europe trip

    Hi Guys,
    just got back from a 90 day trip from Hungary, visiting family and friends. Did a few days of fishing with my brother, chased pigs with an old friend from gamekeeper school and my lovely wife sponsored a roe buck hunt . Had real good time and seen plenty of animals, was a bit strange to be the client for once on a guided hunt. Took us quite a few days to catch what I was after but on the end the I am happy with what I came away with.
    All up 2 bucks shot and 1 missed by a meter (used the wrong dot in scope). Shot a pig, didn't have a chance to catch another. My mate got himself a fox and a pig. Had bad luck catching up with the jackals but hey have to leave something for the next trip.
    Writing a short article about this trip atm, once it's out will do a full write up.

    Cheers
    BF

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    @Sideshow that would be fantastic, problem is I keep spending my money on new rifles and cant save enough for trips overseas. One day when I am old and crusty I might be able to push my zimmer frame around a field and take a nice old buck.

    Fantastic trip.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
