The "bucket list" gave us the chance to dream, And the "Last one ever" gives the opportunity to cyber-poach, run up the cyber Visa and even time travel a bit.
This is different. I heard some woman explain once to a starry-eyed bimbo that when she had a ring and a date set she could say she was "engaged", but until then she was just getting regular pillowtalk. The parallels are real, hunt talks have a habit of ending at deposit time.
Who's got what solidly booked? For the sake of arguement lets say a date, deposit, plane ticket, gun importing permit or something that says "this is going happen".
I'll start:
August 16 will see my wife and I in the Northern Territory
of Australia doing a feral pest cull shoot. Culls of this nature are the big game hunter's version of shooting gophers, or what South American dove shooting is to a wingshooter. There are buffalo, scrubbers, pigs, brumbies, goats and donks in what could be described as a target rich enviroment. This the only rifle hunt that I know of where barrel heat is a factor.
Sept 15 gets me to NE B.C. for moose, mountain caribou and goats or whatever combination starting with moose can be done in 10 days. This one is a local escorted hunt, and I have every reason to believe that the "Local" would shoot me if I gave up the location so don't ask.
A booking with the Beaver pilot says it's gonna happen.
I know that many of you are watching the calendar pages flip while counting down the days. Care to share the itinerary?
