Title: procrastination.
Post by: addicted on January 17, 2010, 11:16:35 PM: alright i've been taking my time putting these out but here are the pics of a drive hunt i went on the 9th of Jan. it was pretty cool. we ended up with 3 deer and 4 wild boar. I had a shot at a deer but i didnt even move to shoulder my gun as there were people on the other side of it. other than that i saw bucks(not in season) and a wild boar drag 3 dogs for 200 yards up in the woods above me before the driver could catch up and dispatch him with the pistol.

ofcourse as with all the social hunts there are horns blown to gather the hunters and then a speach by the hunt host then we walk out to be placed.

Post by: addicted on January 17, 2010, 11:22:34 PM: we intended to do two drives. all the animals were shot in the first drive. second one went dry. between the hunts we stopped to get the animals cleaned and some brats eaten by the fire. picture of the view from the gathering on top of the hill.

definately. someone ended up with some nice pigs. not too big, not too small. i'm no good at german but it sounded like the hunt host was auctioning off the pigs over the phone while they were being dressed. pigs have been hard to come by this year and no one knows why. everyone i talk to says they have been shooting 10% or less of what they have normaly shot at this point in the year.

Post by: actionshooter on January 17, 2010, 11:54:51 PM: That looks really interesting. Do they pretty much shoot anything that comes by? Do the shooter get the animal or is it split up? Here's your steak......next :chuckle:

Post by: addicted on January 18, 2010, 12:08:38 AM: the meat distribution varies from place to place hunt to hunt. i've seen big hunts where every pig under 20 kilos is given away because they dont want to take the time to process it. generally the hunt owner gets the meat but the hunter has first choice to buy it. the hunter also always gets the trophy.

this hunt we were shooting all fallow deer, all wild boar except the leading sow, and all does and fawn roh deer. the bucks lost their antlers back in october so we have to be very specific about which deer we shoot as the bucks are closed.

Post by: addicted on January 18, 2010, 09:55:08 AM: the guy that shot the big pig was a buddy of mine from my hunting class. since he had the biggest animal he was the jagd konig(hunt king) so he had to buy a round of drinks for all the other hunters.

Its good that annie looks out for me, i really wanted to sign up for classes this time around, but there was too much snow to plow ;) with the new TDY the point is mute anyways. leaving soon, going someplace HOT.

I was kinda hoping they were made out of real horn or something, I guess those are the high end antiques?

Awesome rifle. Have always liked that style. What caliber are you shooting? Also what kind of stool is that in the pic with the rifle?
Title: Re: procrastination.
Post by: addicted on January 23, 2010, 11:45:49 PM: shooting a 8x57is. aka 8mm mauser. been shootingsellier and bellot 196 grain soft points but hopefully i'll reload with 200 grain nosler partitions next time around. the stools are very popular and come in several different styles. i got this one for free from an old hunter who was cutting back on his gear. the dang things are expensive brand new but i think that is because the german hunting store kind of has a monopoly on so much gear like this.

here is one style that folds up into sort of a cain.
