    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    South of London - so a long jaunt to the NE part of the country.

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    Yeah - I have found Spearo communities out there - I haven't looked too much at fly fishing. But it is a life opportunity that comes with lots of benefits and few downsides (main downside no hunting and I can't go to Hawaii/Alaska every year). Nothing is in stone yet - but I have high hopes.

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    It is only for a few years and there will be other experiences we have over there. Career wise it's a no brainer with crazy trajectory or great exit opps (can't be specific but it is kind of unicorn start-up type leadership levels). So even if the hunting/firearms stuff is tough career wise I...

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    Well good news is I was competitive in track for most of my life 🏃‍♂️ - so I think I have an upper hand on running. Honestly it seems I am locking and leaving my firearms and most likely knives behind. R.I.P. And I guess either flying back or down to other countries to hunt will be the ticket.

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    So long story short - if I want to hunt I am basically flying back to the states every year or I am trying to figure out somewhere like NZ or Africa or something. I am joining one of those forums and might just end up hunting abroad every time I want to hunt. So going to be super spendy and...

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    Well, the job helps me shortcut a promotion or two and get a very fancy title. But I have debated moving to Idaho and getting a sweet cabin right next to public land and targeting the big elk I see everybody else getting out there. ;) If the PNW didn't do it I don't think the UK can. :cool...

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    Bumping one time for advice on hunting overseas or good hunts to look for if I end up in the UK. Or if people know or have tricks on how to take bolt actions or shotguns abroad for 3-5 years of living instead of just hunting trips.

    Biden Administration imposes lead bans in 8 F&W areas

    I am not Anti-Lead... But the packaging and actual rounds for copper bullets are so sleek. I end up buying copper anyway. Who cares about the extra money when my ammo is sexy. I'm a new hunter but I've learned sexy bullets kill better with my first lite/Kuiu gear, Kifaru pack, and swaro binos.

    Rental Car - loss/collision damage waiver

    Credit Cards or your insurance may cover rental car damage. The easiest way to answer this for yourself is call your insurance agent and ask "What is my coverage on rental cars" If they say full standard coverage rip it and grip it. Drive it like a rental which is known to be the fastest car...

    Newbie in Western WA

    I actually am not sure near Issaquah. I know out towards Salmon La Sac and GMU 335 and 336 are close to Issaquah, but I have not hunted any of those areas.

    Newbie in Western WA

    Well! fancy seeing you here again! I have seen 4 bears on Tiger, but 3 were a sow and 2 cubs, the other was a young bear and very small. I haven't seen a tanker on Tiger. That said the area is full of them, you just have to be able to get into an area on Tiger that isn't full of people, and I...

    Yet another FNG from WA

    It is super hard to get started. I end up trail running a lot of the areas I am interested in hunting but I do all of it alone. I joined the BHA and went to an event - but I also have a young child who has been in and out of the hospital so it is a rare day that I am able to spend more than a...

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    TLDR Up Top: Looking for good hunts in the Europe that are like the US backcountry or UK guided hunts I must do. Or any other advice for a few years of Ex-Pat life. There is a 50/50 chance my family is asked to move to the UK for work . The expected timeline for us to be there is 2-4 years. I...

    TX Nilgai Meat Hunt - Thoughts?

    Is it possible to split 1 bull and 1 cow? That might be best of both worlds for sweet skull and different meats. Along with 2 different color capes. I think Van Hagar said it best "Best of Both worlds"
