Moving to Italy

[luckless]

Well guys, it looks like MM will be my only big game hunting for three years. I took a job in Italy for three years, but I get my job back here when I return. The hunting and my awesome buds at work were the hardest things to imagine living without for three years, but the call of adventure for my family (not to mention about 40% raise) was hard to pass up...

Enjoy the trip Dan. If it is in the North there is some mountains to experience.

Good luck in your adventure. Back in the mid-90s, my inlaws went over there for IBM for a couple of years and had the time of their lives. After they got the lay of the country, for our tenth anniversary, I took my wife over there for a few weeks and had a fantastic time touring Italy, Switzerland, and France with them. Great people, great food, fantastic scenery and historical sites to visit. Just be sure to take a week or two off each year to come back to NM and go hunting. That would be the ultimate.

You'll be close to some great gun manufactures at least. Maybe go check out the Benelli factory.......More importantly the food is going to be awsome!!!! I would come back at least 30 lbs fatter!! Good luck.

Well good luck in Europe man. The good news is that with the increase in salary and proximity to so many countries, you may be able to go on some pretty incredible hunting trips. No elk, but red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, sika deer, chamois, boar, ibex, mouflon, and some great wingshooting are a reality for you (you can find some affordable hunts in several countries). We'll probably be drooling over your pics from Europe here soon...good luck, safe travels, and keep us updated.

Guys,
Thanks for the kind words. I'll be taking shotgun orders right before I come back...

I'll be in northern Italy at the foot of the Dolomiti Alps, just south of Switzerland and Austria.

I might put in for Valle Vidal, etc while I'm gone to take a chance at "trophy" hunts I normally wouldn't waste a draw on.
