Thanks for the input, King, yet still I wonder. One often meets stories of great sea fishing around Cuba (like Hemingway, etc) but there doesn't seem to be any records of hunting there.
I read memoires of a former "head guide" of Zavidovo, the Soviet leaders' pet hunting preserve near Moscow. He describes a hunt to which Fidel and Raul Castro were invited while visiting the USSR. He doesn't believe the brothers ever hunted before, and they didn't get anything, probably because the weather was too cold for them to stand still. But he says everybody liked the Castros better than most of the "guests" they ever handled - very cheerful and easygoing people, always in a laughing mood.
