April hunt

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

April hunt

Post by Safarigent » Tue Feb 21, 2012 9:22 pm

Argentina.
Lots of Dove shooting . Add Polo to your itinerary.
Warning:
1. Pick up some Spanish before you leave.
2. Those guys are as laid back in life as most of us are here in India.
3. Stay close to Buenos Aires and be ready for a long long flight.

I wonder if they have hunting in Australia around that time. If they do Australia / New Zealand should surely be a better option.

Hi Arjun,

Also check out this: http://hogswat.com/
Not real hunting to some but hogs are vermin here and they need to be taken out.
A different shooting experience if nothing else.

If you ask nicely with a "please" thrown in, they might. :wink:


There are many outfitters in countries where hunting is legal and allow tourists to hunt. It all depends on where you want to go, what do you wish to hunt, and how much you wish to spend.

So, if you come up with specific requirements, there are many around who can help you.

Our member Shooter for one.


But, I would suggest starting your own thread on the topic close to your thoughts. :cheers:

arjun,
sorry, i didnt realise you wanted to go for any hunt. I thought you wanted to go only to the uk. Hence the reply about the season ending.
There are many options for you. It depends on your budget, and what you want to shoot.
Do you want wing or big game?
Lemme know your requirements.
