The account has been opened with one nice boar on the floor whilst checking out the various stands and towers. Now enjoying a post-prandial beer and cigar, whilst girding our loins for tomorrow's driven hunting. All a bit giddy as everyone wants to be the one that shoots a lynx or wolf (or in Kiri's case, a raccoon dog, because he wants a new hat that's camper than Small Bore's zebra skin trilby ).
Lots of boar seen, so hopes for tomorrow are high and it promises to be a good trip - plus beer is €2 a pint, so what's not to like about Estonia...

I thought I had died and gone to hunting heaven!! An enclosed blind that had a sofa in it and a double glazing window!!!
All topped of with a big woollen blanket for the less rugged hunters!!
Half hour into the evening there were boar all over. Also reports that wolves have been seen tonight.
I definitely need a new hat and raccoon dog it must be... A Eur1500 lynx for a hat might be a bit too gratuitous for me. I might stretch to a wolf though if the chance arises.
I saw the ideal camo jacket the other day for those weather conditions..... it was electrically heated and powered by a small rechargeable battery that went into one of the pockets..... I think it lasts about 6 hours on full power and cost was about E300.
