Hello,
I read an article written by Mark Krammer, an American journalist ("Breakable Rules for Literary Journalists") and I came across this phrase:
"Perhaps it it to push this limit that writers go adventuring - sailing into nasty seas and living to tell, hunting in the green hills of Africa and bagging the limit in close calls."
My question is: what does "bagging the limit in close calls" mean? Something like "looking for trouble"?
Thank you,
Cynthia Garett
