Hunting Forest Ghosts Across Transylvania, Spain, Macedonia, & Serbia
Description
This episode follows host Joseph von Benedikt on a wild roebuck hunt across ancient terraces in Spain, to remote mountains in Transylvania, to deep forests of Serbia, and into the spectacular alpine mountains of Macedonia. We talk cartridges (we used seven different rifles chambered in seven different cartridges) and bullets (used Berger VLD Hunting, Sierra Tipped GameKing, Federal Fusion, Sellior & Bellot, and Hornady SSTs and unpack other aspects ranging from travel, to safety, to wildlife management abroad.
Some very interesting trends emerged, particularly with the .308. This was an incredible experience and super fun to record and re-live... ENJOY!
