I’m a bowhunter who usually spends one long weekend a month in the forests of Inner Somogy (Belső-Somogy) — not primarily for the kill, but for the observation, the wildlife management, and the kind of quiet that only the forest and nature can give.
For me, hunting is about long, patient preparation: tending salt licks, feeders, wallows and watering places, analysing trail-camera footage, and understanding how the game behaves.
But I also try to keep the local game on the land — and so support the success of the hunt in an ethical way — with many well-made, useful wildlife-management installations and solutions:
- a twin-hopper, twin-spinner automatic feeder that provides regular feed for a whole month without any intervention;
- a watering trough carved from the stump of a fallen poplar, existing purely for the animals;
- a stalking path made from the sliced trunk of that same fallen poplar;
- an exquisite salt lick crafted from a beautiful ash bough;
- a quiet, cable-suspended “moonlight lamp” that makes night-time bowhunting possible while disturbing the game as little as possible;
- … and so on.
For me, ethical hunting and respect for nature are not empty slogans: from chlorine-free spring water to a waste-nothing mindset, every decision I make serves this.
On this site I document these experiences, observations and lessons — honestly, together with the failures and the quiet successes.
