Hunting teaches them respect for the land, their quarry and their workers. Not many kids these days know what the word respect means much less how to give it or earn it.

used to ge into bother when i was a lad gang fights with other estates etc scrapping in town centre when full of drink fighting at matches etc but i was never a burglar or thief once i was introduced to the lurcher scene it all changed over night ,only bother i got into after that was poaching which was nowt compared to before !

I've been pleased I was introduced to hunting, fishing ect all my life first went out at 6 and loved every aspect, every day was an adventure, we'd go bird nesting ( not always for eggs just to find them), sea/ coarse fishing, ferreting, lamping I was honestly to busy as a kid to get into serious bother, as most lads there's been the odd bit along the way, but I think I'm respectful to everyone if there respectful to me.

Having interests gives you something to fill your time plus talk about, there's nothing better than sitting with like minded people and yapping about what you love ( thl proves that), my lads now nearly 6 he'll be an interesting person when he's older because I'll fill his time with interesting things, not allow him to doss on street corners talking shit, doing drugs, and all the other crap that goes on. The big bonus is even now he loves to be out with me hunting or fishing more than anything, just as I did when I was his age.

if anything, hunting reduses crime. the number one reason why all the youths are getting into trouble is outa boredom. there hanging out at street corners and have nothing ta do. now on the other hand if you have youths into hunting there down in the fields hunting away and doing no harm ta anyone

 

when i was a kid, hunting, fishing, dogs ferrets birds, were the only thing that kept me out of trouble, nothing else could keep me out of trouble.

 

im the same cocker, if i remember rightly you lived near me? and all i do hunting fishing shooting and when im boared warsett hill for a little bit of fun

 

yes i lived near you, but i moved from there 20 years ago, i moved to get away from all the trouble, nothing has changed though last week i went to visit my son danny, on my way down the high street i saw paul leonard and chris holland both lying in the middle of the high street unconscious and blood pumping out of there heads, blue lights coppers and paramedics all over the place, paramedics trying to revive them two, i later found out they had burgled someones house, and the lads caught up with them the next day and gave them a good hiding, a proper one. ..........................MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE GOT INTO HUNTING AND DOGS, etc instead of burgling the elderly. i remember those lads when they were young they were just the same then now they are grown men, and still the same, there fathers before them were also the same, and through crime mainly burglary there fathers met death at youngish ages

 

funny you said that, bout 2 weeks ago he tried buying my dogs off me i was just like

and im guessing yu havent heard about the lad jumping off the bridge because hed came out of prison and wanted to go back in

good old brotton haha

Most of my mates go out and cause trouble get pissed and fight they don't give a f*ck most of them are taking drugs on a weekend I used to go out get into abit of bother nothing to bad not drugs though I wouldn't touch the stuff but the past few years ive been focused more on hunting wich has got me away from all that sh*t I don't go out and get into trouble no more I go out with some decent lads that still do some crazy things but nothing too bad lol now I don't hang around with the d*ck heads anymore I am enjoying my self more I prefer to go out with the dogs and some good mates plus I've learned alot from some good people out in the field wouldn't want to go back I would like to keep hunting for as long as I can

similar situation myself

atb

happy hunting

In my younger days a few of us used to get together on a weekend for a dig on a couple of digs one of the lads bought some wacky backy all I can say is if you get stoned hunting or robbery are only two of the things that are imposible the best you could hope for is finding your car to sleep in so you did,nt die of exposure.Most of the day was spent laughing your tits of at things that were,nt in the least funny but as you get older you can look back at all the stupid things you"v done and lived to tell the tale.I think for the most part you could"nt get two activities that were further apart.There are exeptions I know of a few that use money from drugs to pay big money for dogs.There are good and bad in every walk of life ,the bad ones in the dog world are probably the same ones that drive through crops set farm buildings and straw stacks on fire they were criminals before they were dog owners

Hunting and bringing on my pup has kept me out of a lot of trouble, in earlier if i had to be up with the dogs, kept me fitter I run with my dogs, still see all my friends but there not bad lads anyway I'm just the wild one, only problem in Liverpool and it won't be just in liverpool is the fact some nob eds do get inti hunting and then give it a bad name, and trespass and steal and take others peoples dogs, always going to happens, but for me all the outcomes if hunting so far and positive
