Vipa Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ok... this is probably going to turn ugly but I feel the need to do it! And... I appologise if some of the responses are seen as distasteful! So... after Harnser's eye opening thread and in particular one of the responses claiming to have 'shot it all' :blink: Who has shot what? Do we have any Great White Hunters in our midst (at least 1 apparently) I'll start the ball rolling: (nothing unusual here) Pigeon Deer - (Roe, Sika) And that's it up to now.. I do want to try: Driven boar (Germany/France) Moose (Nordics) Elk (USA/Canada) Plains game (South Africa) Have no desire to shoot dangerous or rare game... mainly as the cost would be too prohibitive and so has never registered on the radar. No real desire to shoot pheasant/grouse in the UK but wouldn't turn my nose up at an invite!!) So... come on guys... anyone felled an elephant or a charging Rhino?

sitsinhedges Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 The strange thing with me is that if I'm put in a position where all I have to do is effectively pull a trigger because all the donkey work has been done by a guide I lose interest. It's the preparation and the knowledge I have of my own land that makes the hunt worthwhile and challenging. Going somewhere else just to kill something doesn't do it for me, I'd rather let it live. Good luck to anyone who feels otherwise though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'd like to shoot a Sika, never been near them. I'd also like to shoot Boar and Bear if possible. I'm not sure about the big 5 - I'd happily shoot something big but not rare. When I was out in Canada the Bears had a bad winter apparently and there weren't many about. Had there been loads I would have probably shot one but as it was I didn't. Even if had seen one in a shooting situation I think I would have left it alone. I've got no interest in shooting rare stuff for sport and trophies. Not my thing at all! If I see a good Deer I leave it, let alone an Elephant or Rhino!

Dunkield Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 To be honest I don't go out of my way to shoot stuff, I have no interest in doing the Africa thing. I have now shot 4 of the 6 deer species, so I wouldn't mind shooting Sika & CWD sometime, but I am not going to pay through the nose to do it. Seems a lot people who have responded want to shoot Boar, out of curiosity I just wonder what is stopping them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have to say personally CWD are somewhat over rated, I've done it and enjoyed it but they are one of the easiest species to stalk. Nearly shot a sika in a very memorable evening stalk but it had recipe for disaster written all over it. If you want someone reasonable for sika Dunkield we have someone on here with some fairly unbelievable ground I can mention if you're interested. Just try and go when half the place isn't down to maize as the idea of a sika on the edge of a very large block of maize when you've had a morning stalk as well is a recipe for a late night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
