Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 25 yard sight in ?

Aletheuo,

The reason I'm hunting more around home anymore is more related to getting tired of airports than anything. Plus, the airlines have made it harder and harder to get the meat back. I hunted Alaska in 1996 and got both a moose and a caribou, and the airlines involved (greateful for hunting business) allowed me to bring it back as baggage, with just a small excess weight charge. These days it would cost hundreds of dollars.

So I don't go hunting much anywhere that's too far to drive, unless the hunt is really special. I went to Alaska to hunt grizzly in August, and am headed to Tanzania in June. But for the rest of it I am pretty well satisfied to hunt within a day's drive of home.

The other factor, of course, is that I've already done quite a bit of hunting in other places!
