Born Hunter 17,775 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 You really struggle to comprehend that your way aint the only way dont ya whin. Some people like taking pics, for memorys or as a kind of trophy. Does it really matter? Many of us really enjoy reading about other lads big nights, even if we are green with envy. And before you go off telling me to get out there and do abit my self, I do but I aint got the land for anything aproaching the numbers some lads on here have, so I'll just have to enjoy reading about it. 2 Quote Link to post

forest of dean redneck 11,621 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 if your pest controlling an have a dog capable of big hauls then its a dog to be proud of, 30 plus rabbits could pay for your fuel out. or it proves their not an arm chair hunter. some do pestin some do it for the pot each to their own 1 Quote Link to post

kenny14 656 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Same as the other answers, for me it adds to the memories, and it's a bit of a pride thing. Not all others might enjoy your pic or account of a hunting trip, but who cares? I really wish that digi cameras and mobile phones had been available right throughout my hunting life, because the only pictures that I have of many of my Dogs and their (usually very modest!) achievements, not to mention the hours of pleasure they've given me, are now sadly just memories .

ianh 83 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 whin you are a miserable f****r, if i could catch any amount of rabbs id put some pics up, four hours last night, managed one! lol. better luck next time i hope 1 Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 1- Because they are proud of their dogs. 2 - Because it makes for a more interesting post. 3 - Because if you said you caught rabs on here with no photos people would think you were lying. 4 - Because they can. Whin - every post you make you always say how little a challenge catching rabbits is etc etc etc etc. It's getting old now mate, you always running others down. 1 Quote Link to post

Romany 1,065 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I tell you what the achievment is whin, its knowing you have a dog that can do it, reminding yourself or others of what a cracking time you had on that night, and sharing it with, hopefully like minded people who can relate to what an achievement it is..you so many times try to undermine what other people are doing, you are really over ice-ening the cake you are trying to bake. You loose credibility every time you say some of the silly things you do, how can anyone who knows the crack say that its not an achievement to kill big numbers of rabbits on a night..What Minshaw was doing in the north west, I and others were matching in the north east, and I would never let you or anyone else say that what we did wasnt some form of achievement..and the lads that are getting big numbers now, know what it took, and they will not let you get away with it my friend.. I think you have made a rod for your own back with this thread. .Im totally jealous of the lads going down the dales on here and getting big numbers, jealous that Im not there with them to experience once again what its like to be among them..I wish them all success and hope they enjoy every minute of it, and just think that you maybe should do the same..come out of the land of make believe where you say you hunted..give a bit credit to the guys and their dogs 10 Quote Link to post
LAZYBSTARD 225 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 wish id took a camera out over the years not for the big numbers because there wasnt many but for the laughs we had and the lads i was with some of which are no longer with us 1 Quote Link to post
