| UK hunting tradition?? | Login/Join |

I am trying to remember the name of a specific European hunting tradition, but am having a hard time. I'm sure one of you gents can help me out. I believe it originated in the UK. It is when a hunter takes a big game animal (perhaps a stag), a bird, and a fish all in the same day. There is a name for it, and I have seen it done on television a couple times. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | ||

I think it is called a McNab.. Hopefully an English or Scottish AR member will confirm or correct  The more I know, the less I wonder ! | |||

IIRC, it originally came from the book 'John McNab' by John Buchan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Macnab | |||

Buchan's original McNab was two stags and a salmon, poached from three estates whose lairds had received notice that 'John McNab' would make the attempt on a given day. These days it is generally accepted to be a red stag taken on the hill, a brace of red grouse shot on the moor and a salmon taken on the fly, all between sunrise and sunset on a single day as a test of a true all round sportsman. The salmon is usually the most unpredictable and difficult part of the whole affair. Kiri and I are currently working on a cunning plan to run a McNab week in September 2014 on a Deeside sporting estate, to see how many Mcnabs we can achieve between eight guests in six days...

i took a McNabb several years ago in RSA( although i didn't know it until the farm owner told me that night at dinner).a rainbow and brown trout at sun up( on a fly, of course), a brace of guinea fowl mid morning, and a mountain reed buck mid afternoon. until dinner that night, i had never heard of a McNabb but they made a bit of ceremony out of the cake and cognac served… Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

Brad, We will be at Glenmuick house where we ran our grouse week this year. It is next to Balmoral in Ballater. I think a week of mixed sport could be a heap of fun. K | |||
