RicW 67 Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Most of the neo-hippies, Aquarians and New Agers are total idjits who would last about a week if they ever got their ideal honey buggers world. Most, but not all. I lived in a commune in the uplands near my home town for a couple of years. We supplemented our diet with wild caught protein. One of the guys took his ferrets out for rabbits, one was a good fisherman, and I had a battered old single barrel 12bore that I used for woodies. We had an agreement with a farmer whose land abutted the (illegal) commune that if he found a dead fox in his yard, blown away with a shotgun, that was worth 6 chickens or loads of eggs. We never killed more than we could eat. Bit random this post. Just thought I'd mention it. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RicW 67 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 DON'T talk to me about Afghan coats. I'd been out shooting one day, wearing me Afghan. Drizzling rain. Got a couple of woodies and a pheasant (In season of course ). Took 'em back to the site, decided I'd earned a beer. Went to the local and this BLOODY GREAT BIG GSD took a fancy to me coat. I had to choose between standing there being shagged in public by an attack trained Alsatian or rip me coat off, throw it on the floor and leg it. I have no shame in saying that I legged it. The locals laffed so much they spilled their beer - and that is a serious business in a back country pub! Those were the days my friends. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
