Boar Hunt?

Just checking interest - would anyone be interested in a boar hunting weekend in Tuscany?

Estimated cost is CHF 800-1000, with licenses for 1 boar each and rifle hire (and probably a night of accommodation/food). While not guaranteed, that's 60-100kg of boar/meat to lug back as well, so if coming by vespa you would need to organise tranport for the boar (or ask someone here in a car) and a small chest freezer (200chf on galaxus or much less on ricardo).

Nothing guaranteed yet... just thinking out loud.

(and yes, I know this is NOT sports shooting. My personal moral compass is that hunting for food is more human than mass-production of meat, but if people don't like the idea and disagree, I'll take this post off :) )

Quick update - found a place that charges differently:
200-300chf for small boars (under 60kg)
400chf/boar up to 100kg
100chf/day if you don't get anything
35chf/room with breakfast

Could make for an interesting weekend...

Tempting... but "senior management" wouldn't be too happy with me shooting animals any more.
