I had no idea you have different seasons for different weapons. I do like a bit of deer, never caught one though. We dont really do it over here, but a few years back when I was in Africa I went hunting for Kudu, great big things - we paid for the hunt then processed the lot in to Biltong (have to say, it beats Jerky
) and gave it out at the entrance to a township.
I get wild Boar in the area of my treehouse and they wreck everything, so I am eyeing up a powerful crossbow, will probably have to pick it up in Spain and drive it over to Portugal as you get buy bigger and better there without a license.
Good luck if you go out!
