Feel like I'm ticking over in every respect, I need to challenge myself before I f***ing give up to this mundane toxic f***ing modern life. So I'm meeting a total stranger who's going to take me into the mountains for an armed ramble on the other side of the planet.......... for a start to fixing that, can't wait. ......and what about your lion hunt in Canada? 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's all that shit I feel like I need to get away from, that's my comfort zone and it's f***ing killing me. I'm pretty sure it will. I was put in touch with the chap from a respectable member of this site and is a proper kiwi hunter (we follow each other on insta/FB). Seems sound and I'd much rather that than a pro guide. The fella stands to gain out of it too of course. The money is already put aside. Just needs to happen now. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Be such a cool experience and hard won from what I've seen. The coup de gras might look easy to the layman but getting there is earnt and a unique education of natural history from what I have heard. Donnie Vincent who portrays the depth and meaning of hunting extremely intimately recently went on a lion hunt, while holding what he admits to being an unfairly negative view of it, and it totally changed his view/opinion. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was British Columbia mate,biggest cats are in the North like BC and Alberta (but hunts have the biggest price) smallest cats are way down places like Argentina.I ate normal cat a few times,wouldn’t turn my nose up at mountain lion.

DIDO.1 20,804 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Iv just booked two days on the giant skate for April. I'm trying to do one big fish trip a year. Would like a tuna in British waters. I want a day riding to hounds in the new forest. Most of my wanna do trips aren't that big at the minute due to business and family but I'll keep doing little trips close to home. Fancy a day on the red deer in Scotland, will prob just shoot hinds. Would like a roe and fallow buck soon as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,662 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Trying to arrange a visit to a sky burial site but it means a treck up to 4000+ meters.Staying in the same hotel Keira knightley and Brad Pitt stayed in when they were here and being guided round by the guy who gave Keira archery lessons.The rivers are pristine,saw some decent sized trout earlier.This place really is the land that time forgot. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
