beastyboy 0 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 i just got the countrymans weekly its full of shit again there ment 2 be with us and now they want help with inquries about poaching deer. i some times think the people who wright it are anties. The cuntmans weekly is a waste of trees imo... never really been a lurcher/terrier man orientated weekly... get the EDRD.. its miles better... although that seems to be about bigging up certain people just lately... atb stabba whats the edrd mate Quote Link to post
oohmydog 82 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 found its gone done hill havent bought one for years now have a EDRD subscripe paid for christmas present every year but now thats readable in minutes thats getting worse aswell all same old stories same people Totally agree edrd is only as good as the articles that are sent in, used to get it but like the countryman's weekly ,angling times ,anglers mail, pike and predator and how to keep your donkey happy you get the feeling you,have read it before Quote Link to post
poacher3161 1,766 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 The countrymans weekly is now only a gloryfied ad mag for shows and sales of dogs and hunting gear the rise in popularity of the internet will IMHO see the end eventually of mags like this as well as our daily newspapers maybe not in our lifetime but in the distant future Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 to be fair to the writers in there other than ratting or ferreting their hands are tied i was talking to one of them a fornight ago and they had had a brilliant day with the dogs but nothing that you could write about in a magazine in todays climate without a lawsuit coming down on you but i still think the magazinr is rubbish and basically a ad mag for companies selling their goods but in fairness most sporting or feildsports mags are the same no matter what countrysport your into .

Tiddler66 3 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I am sure some people will have something to say about this, but I like the Field, because of the wide variety of different articles, although its true to say that I have not seen any articles on terriers or lurchers lately....and its not weekly......but in time I am sure you will articles about those dogs, especially if the ban ever gets lifted.

You can write about anything you want as long as you are not inciting others to break the law and all the hunting was in the past tense. No way would you ever get a law suit , it just wouldnt happen.
