Halfinch 51 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Just been looking through all sorts of posts on here, and it seems a vast majority of members are youngsters (well young to me anyway ) So i just wondered how old most people are on here and how long they have been hunting? I'm 40, and fishing aside, have only been into the hunting for a couple of years, i did a bit of ferreting as a kid, have fished most my life, and pretty much always kept dogs. What about the rest of you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 31, been fishing since I was about 7. Done a bit of ferreting with my dad in my early teens, then started going out air gunning with him in my mid teens. Lost interest a bit in my late teens due to wine & women, been back into it all for about 3 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree Bird, It wasn't aimed as a dig at the young uns, some are fools but so are some of the older ones. I was just interested to see what sort of age range we have on here.
