Hello all,
Well, I have just applied for my Montana NR Big game combo, if I draw it will be my third time hunting in Montana.
I have felt for some time that I should ‘put something back’ into the area’s I hunt, but how to go about it has been a little difficult, I thought of several ways but I have come up with the following.
I live in the UK, South West England, in the beautiful county of Devon, where I was born.
There is no public land hunting anywhere in the UK; hunting is only accessible by paying an outfitter, or by having private access to farms. So for the visiting hunter it can be very frustrating, so this is where I come in.
I am offering to take a US resident hunter from this site on a hunt in my home county, depending on the time of year it will be Red/Fallow/Roe deer (strict season's in force), no tags necessary, shoot what you like, and as many as you like, it will take place over 2 days, 4 outings in total (more if I don’t have to work!) the only condition is you give a donation to the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, I am thinking $250 would be fair.
As an example, to shoot a trophy red stag with an outfitter is going to cost you around the $2500 mark, though just like Elk hunting, nothing is guaranteed!
It’s on a first come first served basis, maybe you are just visiting the UK and could do a little diversion to hunt, or tracing your ancestral routes, in the UK or neighboring Ireland, we could just fit in a couple of days hunting.
You can use my rifle, but insurance to shoot over here is necessary with the landowners, but it can be obtained over in the UK for around $50.
Plenty of cheap accommodation nearby and some great English pubs with real ale
You will have a great time, I guarantee it, and even if we don’t shoot anything it will be fun hunt.
Cheers
Richard
