My Dad used to go Pidgeon Shooting in the UK and
he used to take my brother and I to pick up.

It was great fun.

Plus we used to spend time in bush doing
other things so I always liked being outside
and when I came to Australia, my interest took off.

The hunting video's and hunting tales consume me!!
What a rush--

That and shooting big bores accurately at Big African Game--
Something satisfying about stalking big game and about being in the middle of such game instead of waiting in a treestand to whack a deer a ways off.

Yep, it was watching those african hunts and shooting my 416 and the big Merkel that closed the deal.

I would watch and think--"That's great! I should be doing that!!"

Your comment took me back in time a bit,,,When I was a kid on the farm, Sundays was our day off, my two brothers and I used to go out to the pastures and literally shoot our .22's the entire day.. on gophers, rabbits or whatever but primarily the ground squirrels..

Thanks for that.

What was the thing that started your interest in hunting in Africa? A movie, a book, a friend or acquaintance? A magazine article? A display at a museum? Cold hard logic?

You don't have to have got there yet if the bug has already bitten but not yet scratched.

Please tell.

I hope NitroExpress.com has been the bait and drug at least for some!
