Recommended Posts

The UK an American relationship has always been a love hate sort of a tiff...:boxing:

I love hunting and freedom they seem to go hand in hand .....:victory:

 

The behavior of men to the lower animals, and their behavior to each other, bear a constant relationship.

well for me i was a nipper and the guy over the road from me was a bit of a poacher and taxidermist. found him intriguing.

he took me snaring foxes rabbits and took me ferreting.

got my first shotgun when i was 18 and luckily i knew a keen shooter who took me beating and ive even shot grouse on the glorious 12th.

ive met ordinary decent lads to directors from BP. ilooking back i enjoyed every min and think myself extremely lucky.

from all the people i met from poachers to gamekeepers to ghillies they all said the same.respect your quarry and do the right thing by them and give it a quick death.

shamefully i never always followed that and for that i have regrets.

dunno if its cz the older you get but silly things like the finches that visit my garden or the family of hedgehogs or the vixen looking for scraps i see more and enjoy seeing wildlife in my back garden.

all i do now is ferreting,occasionaly have the odd night shooting bunnies,my old lurcher bitch is 16years now think she wont see xmas but ill replace her straight away and get another lurcher fantastic dogs imo

Take it SGS is off your christmas card list then...................why write all this if you hate the guy so much? :hmm:

wasnt for his benefit,told you before practise what you preach.why do you post your deluded anti english stuff on a thread saying england. oh dont bother i already no the answer to that.

Yes because i am scottish and its all tongue in cheek :yes: ......If SGS says black you'll say white, state that you dislike him then post on his thread....just had me wondering thats all :hmm:

i hunt because i like to, it started for me when i was younger, and got into bushcraft, through the scouts.

i liked going rough camping with my mates, we decided to start snaring rabbits while we were camping, i grew to love rabbit meat, so started hunting more of them, then i got a rifle to shoot them, i loved shooting so decided to get a shotgun to get me some pigeon too, the farmer who owned the land i shot on soon had me doing fox control for him, using the guns and terrier.

i still love eating the game i shoot, and like the fact its free, and im also doing a good turn for the farmer.

 

now hunting is a way of life to me

 

Good post :thumbs:

Same here I got into shooting with air rifles around 14 years old, and have just gone on to other things over the years, game shooting and terriers. Saying I do it because I enjoy it sounds fickle, but I would be lying if I gave any other reason.

When I'm asked disapprovingly why I hunt, I always say," man was put on this earth for three reasons, to hunt, shag and fight ! and I'm a very enthusiastic participant of all three ". I normally find they either change the subject or give me a wide birth. :)
