For those of you who watch hunting shows, there was/is one airing this week. It's sponsored by Federal, and the show is "Dangerous Game". Chris Dorsey is the host and producer. This episode is titled the "Bucket List", and he heads to Hungary to shoot driven boar.
Watch and/or record this if you can! I saw it on NBC Sports, which used to be Versus, but I believe it's on Dish and others as well. Might have to search for it, but they usually air on Wednesday.
Years ago I saw a book on hunting in europe, and later met the author. Europe is a whole different world in terms of hunting. Basically the royalty and aristocrats owned the animals and land, and you had to have bucks to hunt bucks. Driven boar goes back centuries.
Book is http://www.amazon.com/European-Hunt...id=1347297322&sr=8-1&keywords=european+hunter (mine has a different light blue cover)
I still hunted in Italy because we couldn't gather enough folks on short notice to have a driven boar hunt. But after seeing this show, I have moved this above my trip to Africa for things to do...
