Lab 10,979 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Don't think she'd like to shoot anything but she likes it when the chicks are here and she likes collecting eggs. Loves the dogs as well. She's a bit funny with eating game and there's no way you catch her cleaning or plucking a bird.....lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 When i met mine, she had never done any kind of fieldsports. Within the first few months to year of us being together she had been out daytime with the dog lots, been ferreting a lot, been out lamping, been fly fishing, used the shot gun and air rifle, and even learnt to lay snares and caught a rabbit with her first one she did herself. She will happily prepare and cook game of any kind and loves eating it. Even fancies trying her hand at making stuff out of the skins etc, She loves taking the dog and ferret for a mooch but also is happy to not come if i want to get out on my own. I think i've been lucky! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Duncan 802 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Mine keeps making noises about coming out with me, with the shotguns, rifles etc but hasn't yet lol! She likes eating the game I cook and almost nags me into organising my weekends hunting activities so I really can't complain. She did come out and have a go with my air rifle and put 5 shots in a 1/2 inch circle at 35 yards - not bad for a first time out with a rifle. My best mate only gets 1 weekend day pass for hunting from his other half which puts into perspective, especially as she calls him during the time we're out to see when he's coming home! (she already knows when he's due home lol!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hellyer189 93 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Me and my missus had an argument once, she was over 8 months pregnant and I told her she couldn't come lamping...... She couldn't see the problem about a week later she dropped lol. Now when the mother has the little one she will come out, she also rides with the local hunt on a friends horse....so that's why I'm learning Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gin 498 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Her life used to be Friday nights in Newcastle with the girls, till we met,- second date i took her trout fishing, and she really got into fly fishing. Then i got a couple of ferrets, and she soon ended up with 60 as a rescue and showing them. She loves the dogs but has not been out with them. She now enjoys cooking game, which she would never have eaten before. Now she is into a bit of photography,- birds. Still moans a fair bit about muddy boots, but can't have it all ways.
