Getting into hunting: Galway

lismed

Hi all,
I'm a student in NUI Galway looking for someone to help me get into hunting. I have done some "Horse and Hound" hunting back home ( Cavan, I know lucky me ) and shoot vermin on land at home but lookin to broaden that a bit.
I'm willing to help with any kind of work if it means i can get out an odd time and learn the tricks of the trade. also i have own transport so thats not a problem and would be considered responsible (I think).

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Lismed

what type of hunting have you in mind?deer stalking,fox shooting,wild goat shooting,pigeon/crow roost shooting,rabbits maybe?

lismed

Rabbits and Foxes would be a great start, as would pigeon and crow.
Would I be asking a bit much to want to start with deer stalking?
I really am just looking to get a general start and then see how it goes from there!!

hunterpajero

you could come stalking just to see the in and outs of it,you dont have to take it up straight away

lismed

Yes that would would be great, wat would i need before i go? like a camo jacket and stuff??
How far away from galway would you be??

lismed

lismed

Hi again,

Thanks Lismed

I'd be very interested in the response to that too. Have a .22 lying idle, and I want to see what rabbit tastes like.
