Great Job Machias.  :tup:  I hope you are treated to a great Keiler while you are out here.  Do you know roughly where you will be hunting?  Winter boar hunting out here is a great experience.  The Bache (Sow) you see in my profile photo was taken during a traditional German drive hunt.

No Josh she was not the LeitBache.  lol. :chuckle:

Just remember to not shoot the bigest bache.  That is considered very bad form out here because she is the future of that group.  She will teach all other pigs where to search for food and how to search for it.

I have hunted with a German friend of mine before and he slings his rifle the exact same way as that photo.  Pretty fast way to bring it up.

Lots of tradition in German hunting techniques.  The guy I hunt with is very interested in shooting an old animal.  One that is well past it's prime.

Chris lives near Andover, Germany and Gunter is in Vienna, Austria.  I believe we will be hunting near Andover.  They were telling me about which pig to shoot.  I will go over there and pay attention and listen to their advice.  It'll be a great experience!

Sorry I could not help out.  It was just tooo much life going on.  BUT you had a great time and they were good people.  Did they want to come back for another hunt?

Hey no problem, I understand completely.  They are coming back at the end of Sep next year for a week and we are going to bait bear in Idaho.  I'll have two baits going strong when they get back over here.  Yep I'm going to go after boar over there.  Gunter is all into the traditions, he spoke about the ceremonies just like Addicted posted about on his hunts in Germany.  Should be an outstanding experience.

Thats Awesome that you guys were able to work something out.  I'm excited for you to come over here, it's going to be a blast.  :tup:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
