As for Scotland being the home of stalking, I bet the Austrians and the Germans would beg to differ as they have been stalking in the mountains with firearms and before that crossbows for hundreds of years. Even St.Hubert was a stalker and that was in the fifteen hundreds I believe.
Waidmannsheil.
You are right on Austrian and German stalking Tradition. But St. Hubertus lived a few years earlier, c. 656 - 727 AD.
but the stupidity continue
just look how swarovski smarm in this new video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGcAqXMRios
I dont want to offend the brave scots but what will the tyrolean hunter thinking when they look down deep in the Inn valley on the swarovski factory from the surrounding moutains playing in another class than scotish highland's?
Honestly, that whole add just shows how unimportant the rifle and scope are to the success of a hunting trip. He could have made that shot with an open sighted .30/30. That concept of mating swarovski technology with tradition just doesnt work. The high tech gun is superfluous.
I like the McNab challenge ad better - where the fellow shoots a stag at the end with an early Rigby in .275 with a bolt striker peep sight.
