I have played online war games and was a member of several online gaming communities. All of them complained that it would be months before I even checked the forums with tactics, whatever. I came to this forum and I check it every damn hour almost.... this is craaaaaaaaaaaaazyyyyyyyyyy!!!
I'm making a self bow as well and spent this afternoon hacking at it with my axe since I want to become proficient at making them in the woods. I broke three already and kinda feel this one is going the same way... and then I read the thread on self bows and elk...I'm going mad with this!!! And I can't even hunt with bow in the UK! I hunt in my dreams every single damn night..the genes finally worked their way into taking over! I even have as the only reason to go back to Portugal, the fact that I can hunt with a bow there...
:p

Pretty cool Miguel your exuberance! The hunt is very special indeed! What can you hunt in Portugal?
yeah what can you hunt in portugal? good question straitera.
I'm curious too what is there to hunt in Portugal?
You can hunt deer, wild bor and a few other species that I am not fully aware of which ones they are. Me and my wife were recently thinking of going back to Portugal and I was looking for hunting regulation and prices for licences and stuff. This place is a very old place and has regulated hunting seasons. I was pleased to find that bowhunting is allowed although there is only about 10 hunters doing it (Portuguese I mean). I'll leave the link so you guys can check it.

Ah, I joined this group as well and you will see that it is only a hand full of people doing it. let me see if I can get the link..
there:
I don't know any of these hunters personally and I have joined the forum a while ago. All is in Portuguese so I don't know if you guys can use translator or something. If you need any translating done just let me know. There's at least 6 other places to hunt as well but I haven't had the time to look it through. I'll do it later today. Son has chicken pox and the wife is giving me the evil eye already so I have to go now.. laters!
oooops..I think I violated the post rules with that link there... it takes to a forum..plz don't click on it..I'll re-post taking the link away
Too late I looked! Portuguese pigs, Axis deer, & Stag with only 10 bowhunters? Can I go?
I guess so! I can ask them if you want me to. I reckon you would only need to pay the permit at the city council.Ah, no I think you need to take the course about the species blah, blah...I'll ring them tomorrow because I want to know as well.
Just kidding Miguel. If it cost a dollar to go around the world, I couldn't go down the street! You have a good time & post plenty of pix.
