    Now that i am semi retired i am free to help out and prepare for the 2013 shooting season, i have just moved to skelton in cleveland and wondered if anyone knows of any shoots that require a regular beater and all round helper in or around my area, i am quite willing to use my years of forestry to assist in any way possible, many thanks

    I have always been a beliver of living off the land, nature can give us so much of what we need and for free, you just have to open your eyes and learn, i still tend to use bartering with local farmers and land owners for game if i am to busy to hunt, having an abundance of logs always helps, every year i make my own wine and elderberry is my all time favourite i end up with countless bottles of wine to drink and swap with also.
