badgerpowell 0 Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 A simple hello to all and to let you know a little about myself. I live in West Yorkshire a few miles from Ilkley, in fact within view of the Cow and Calf rocks on the edge of Ilkley moor (as per the song) "Ilkla Moor Baht at" I have been fishing and shooting since I was big enough to hold a gun and a rod which would have been from about 9 or 10 years old. Along with my partner in crime (she who must be obeyed) I like nothing more than doing the rounds at country shows and fairs in the north of England and can usually be found with 2 Greyhounds and an old retired Lurcher in tow. My main interest is to further the cause of UK slug shooters and reloaders and to this aim I have a small no profit web site Visit My Website selling specialist slug reloading components to the minority slug shooter in the UK. So if any member would like any advice re: slug loading and shooting I would be happy to help. I live pretty much in spitting distance of the river Wharfe and if the fancy takes me I can be Trout or Grayling fishing within 5 minutes of leaving my back gate, although what really get me going is Salmon fishing. I have a small shoot on the banks of the Wharfe where I like nothing more than sitting on a winters evening waiting for a chance of a duck or goose and will quite often chase ducks with a blackpowder muzzle loading shotgun for a little added interest. I have in my time trained Springers to guns, Lurchers to nets (gate and long) and in my opinion (which is purely personal and possably a little biased so please forgive me) the best dog in the business is a Bedlinton/whippet. As a final thought I do tend to ramble on a bit and if backed into a corner I will usually let the other party have the benefit of the doubt, after-all life is to short.
