Year 2006/7 has
been a successful year. We had five full groups and a small-group
January additional visit.
QUARRY:
-
The total quarry taken by BSA
visitors was 97 hogs, of which 2 boar were in medal class.
-
Without mentioning names several
guests distinguished themselves and entered the BSA record book.
-
A relatively senior gentleman
from the north east shot 6 pigs on one drive with 8 shots.
-
One guest had hand to
hand combat with 200 KG of hog, finally poking it in the eye with the muzzle
of an emptied rifle (5 dogs ended up for stitching at the vets and two
beaters were also attacked)
GUESTS:
-
This year Basswood had the pleasure
of looking after two sportsmen from South Africa(boy could they shoot!);
two sportsmen from Ireland (boy could they drink!); and two gentlemen from
the Middle East (both British subjects and experienced shooters)
-
We had 5 sportsmen from the
St Hubert Society who demonstrated the ultimate safety practice (all five
succeeded in taking a boar.)
SAFETY:
-
At the suggestion of a
regular guest we are making a formal presentation on safety and procedure
after dinner on arrival of each group at the Jankovac Lodge.
-
We have become aware that many
guests bringing a shotgun are having their first experience at firing a
slug at live quarry (clearly a bad thing)
-
We are also using the Jankovac
facility for zeroing in and rifled slug familiarisation on the first morning.
COSTS:
In future there will be
a change in the costing of the group package price.
BSA will now include
in their ‘All Inclusive Price’ :
-
The cost of Croatia Hunting
Police Permits
-
Gratuities for beaters and hunt
masters for all three days
-
Tips to the Jankovac Lodge staff
-
Trophy tusk preparation.
This will eliminate all that
money changing in 3 currencies at inopportune times.
(BSA will pay all except
the bar bill)
2007-08:
