Okay screw this, I haven't hunted one day this year and I'm choked, it's nearing mid summer in the Antarctic and I'm gonna put this together. It won't be cheap but how many men can say they have braved the hunting of Antartica. The charge of an enraged Emperor Penguin, the stealthy approach and pounce of a hunting leopard seal. We'll take lots of photos and video for all to see and we should be able to get it all posted before the trial.
I personally am going to take a very specially made custom hockey stick shaft for the penguins, sharpened on one end........just in case of a charge. No synthetics or aluminums, good old Sherbrooke laminated wood for this cowboy. And for leopard seals I'm going to take a page from Tac870's book and use my 22 hornet. What's to fear from a 1000 lb seal with teeth like a grizzly and the blinding speed of a cheetah. I'm sure it'll stop his charge cold with a 40 gn bullet at 2900 fps, all I have to remember is that bullet placement is everything, caliber is irrelavent. I'll also make sure not to hit him in the eye when he's blinking cause we wouldn't want to waste that eyelid meat. Right up the nostril through the sinuses and into the brain, no wasted meat at all, streaking charge stopped cold, end of story.
I think there will be room for four, so three and me. With chartering a twin otter out of patagonia and commercial airfares there it shouldn't be more than $100,000 each, no licence or tag fees, no firearm importation fees, no daily rates and no trophy fees. Relatively inexpensive all thing considered. I'll have to get quotes on the twin otter charter costs, just ballparking at this point. Actually I'm having a brain fart cause we can easily accomodate 12 people on the twin otter and I'm sure there's no shortage of penguins, maybe leopard seals on a straw draw basis, not sure how plentiful they are. Might just bring the Steyr HS 50 in case we get a chance at a whale, which are quite plentiful that time of year down there. Sperms, humpbacked and maybe even a chance at a blue, hard to say.
This is the stuff dreams are made of guys, so who's in? Probably only breaking 6-10 international laws and probably won't get more than a nickle each and fed time that means we're out in just over a year. By the way that 100K estimate included lawyer fees.
Think about it and get back to me, the hunt of a lifetime and something nobody could ever say "oh ya, I done something cooler than that", cause there AIN'T NOTHING COOLER THAN THIS !!!!!!!
