Adam.270News from the AR muntjac hunt
We got off to a slightly late start today but the AR Euro' Forum weekend has gone well so far with 17 Muntjac shot in the first two hours of hunting.
Dinner is now over and the hour of bullshit and tall tales has arrived. 05:30 start tomorrow for Muntjac, then a day's hare shooting on Euston estate for some of us, before more Muntjac. Happy days!

Fallow BuckNot sure what the final tally was in terms of deer but good fun had by all and Tommy took great pleasure in shooting more than Gerry and winning the sweepstake for most deer and biggest buck!!
It was great to see everyone again and congrats to all the guys who took their first deer and first muntjac.

Enjoyed it very much
Plenty of trigger time vs high dollar trophy
I would highly recommend it to any forum members who is considering coming
K if you are organising some thing in the future along the lines of what we discussed please reserve a
place or two

GhubertTrue...
At least it wasn'y my binos this time though!

I don't suppose anyone picked them up did they?

Adam.270It was a great weekend and nice to put faces to so many illustrious (or notorius) AR names.
Amir - I can swing by the Hall next week and pick up your boots as we're at Euston on a hare shoot again. Ring Alan and get them put to one side.

NevadanWaidmannsheil to all who were successful.
Good to hear someone "out shot" Gerry.

If Tom Winkle ended up on top this year, at least the top spot stays with a Yank.

Kiri, sorry we could not get together in Reno this year, but it looks like you have been having fun none the less!

Fallow BuckHey Dan,
I didn't make Reno myself this year. I will be in Dallas again next year so we should try and meet up thee if not before.
Indeed there is a lot of fun being had by all involved..

GhubertOk so I have a record for a new achievement in the field of losing things on a hunt; it turns out that my boot are in Germany!

GerryGentlemen,
Another AR Weekend has passed and it was indeed a very good time.
It was a pleasure to meet, greet & hunt with all the "ususal suspects" and new faces. Sadly, some of the our Charter Members have passed away or for whatever reason were not able to attend; hopefully we'll be able to share expereinces in The Field again soon.
The Munjac population at Great Livermere is obviously doing well as the number of Muntjac harvested was again, outstanding.
From Rodney-Bob, Dolan-Bob, Winkelmeister & myself a hearty Waidmannsheil to Kiri & Adam for organizing a superb weekend.

Cheers,
Number 10

Trapper DaveWell, it was great to read about it since I couldn't be there.
The sight of all those Hares & Munties makes my mouth water too.
Sadly, 2012 was a bit of a hunting write-off for me since I was tied up with a complex three-way house move.
I only barely managed to meet my cull obligations, did only 1 day of wing shooting and damaged my beloved 308 by falling on it whilst coming off a Devon hill in the pitch dark and pouring rain after trying to shoot the blasted deer that was nibbling the tops out of my Christmas trees.
However, that's behind me for the most part and I am hoping to pick up the threads of more normal life this year.
First stop is to re-zero the rifle and then a trip out to Lithuania to see Saulius's new house and hunt some Boar in May.
I've bought a fishing boat too and am planning to lure Kiri and Solvi out for some serious wreck fishing in Torbay at some point.
Nice to read that you guys had good fun and good hunting, looking forwards to meeting up with you all at some point ;0)

BoghossianNice haul! Looks like they should buy a few more gambrels for next year...
19 February 2013, 22:16
londonhunterWhere have you been boggy ?!?
You going to join us someday ?
21 February 2013, 12:26
Fallow BuckDave,
I'm glad to hear hat life is returning to normality for ou again.
A spot of fishing is definitely a reason to come and visit with old friends so I will look forward to that.
If you are in the London area this weekend give me a call and you can come hare shooting this weekend.
