Met with a group of UK pheasant hunters today
http://www.cambrianbirds.co.uk/
They had just come back from hunting. Had a nice conversation about the differences between US upland game and British upland game shooting. All private property hunts here. Once my hand heals they've invited me to go on a hunt with them here in the UK.

You’re in the UK long enough for your hand to heal? Or you go there that often? Is this your way of telling us you’ve moved to the UK? So little detail leaves so many questions.

I might as well have moved here. Got sent here for 2 weeks to assist some software development that ran a little behind schedule. Got here and found out "2 weeks" meant "until it's done" and "ran behind" meant "all our subcontractors are completely incompetent and they weren't even done with the civil work". Except for occasional trips back, I've been stuck here since last January. If I never set foot on UK soil after this I'll be happy. At least getting to hunt here will be something positive I can take with me.

I have a good friend who spent the last year in Northern Ireland and some time in England. He said the same thing. He has no desire to go back. He was actually telling me how they can mail you citations from CCTV footage with no trail. I'm curious of how the hunting happens there. They can't store firearms at home, right? How about hunting as a foreigner, what qualifications are required? As I understand, the average person can't even own a .177 pellet gun.

My MIL was born and raised in Germany during the war and the family still owns land outside of Dresden with wild pigs on it. When I was there about 25 years ago I mentioned that I hunt they told me that I could hunt there anytime I wanted to. I thought about how cool it would be hunt wild boar in the old world next time we were there. When I got home I looked into it and holy cow! The hoops they make you jump through to just hold a gun were insane and not to mention the gigantic hassle it is to get a hunting licence. It simply was not worth all the hassle. .

Pretty much.
Met a guy yesterday who showed me pics of the red deer/elk hybrids they breed and release in Scotland. They are ready for harvest after about a year and those things are beasts. Just massive. The one he had pics of was so big it was gambreled all the way to the roof of his outbuilding and it was still touching the ground. He had to use the loader on a tractor to lift it. Yielded 130 KG (about 280 lbs) of meat.
