I see at what your getting at in a fashion! there are 3 types of dog men that i have noticed there are them that just like a good day out catch a few, them that like a good day out with a new dog every other week (cos someone told them it court 50 in one night but they still sold it to them for £150) and them who give the rest of us a bad name driving fields killing anything and leaving it for all to see.

 

I like to hunt with mates just in case we bump in to the 3rd kind lol

 

Happy New Year

When I did a bit of pest controlling it was by virtue of the gig, a numbers game, and that led me on a certain path, one that made me adjust my natural inclination to keep inappropriate dogs around me and become a whole lot more professional. I was under the microscope and had to be seen to be delivering a result - being conspicuous when every fibre of me longed to be the opposite. But when I wasn't on the clock, I loved nothing better than dodging along hedgebacks looking for opportunities, be it a kicked up bunny, a stray pheasant, a tub full of raspberries or a puffball of two. That was and has always been my raison d'etre.

 

Now that pest controlling is just a memory, I have reverted to type and just wander around my local countryside these days. I hunt alone or with two close mates and that's it. As it's no longer a numbers game, the guns and rifles have long gone and all that's left are my two mutts and a pocket knife. Hunting for the table and the freezer makes me happier than when I was under scrutiny and pressure to produce the numbers - not that I didn't enjoy it of course.

 

As for digital cameras....before them I used to have to take my rolls of film to a little Indian bloke who ran a kiosk on Knightsbridge Green to develop. He didn't care what the pics where of just as long as he got his cash. As soon as I got my Fujitsu I was like a pig in muck. It was essential part of my kit when I was out on the geese and foxes.....dog, 686, shells, camera....happy days and lots of great pics to serve as a memorial to dogs that are sadly no longer with us.

 

 

Good post Stabs.

Before the ban id happily go out with total strangers,we used to head up the Dales with a full Sherpa mini-bus,lampers and bunny carriers,ive done days on the Fens and plough in company,trailed the terriers about taking my go on the shovel.When the ban came so came to an end the more cavalier attitude,ive mates with no dogs and criminal records because of the company they kept,now i choose my company and prefer to walk alone,its the safer option.I feel for the genuine lads starting out now,if they stick to it with the problems they face,then i hold my hand up to them.

I'm not overly fussed if I'm alone or with a mate, aslong as the dogs enjoying thereself's doing what there bred to do who care's.

Only some one who as hunted alone will know the true feeling of being at one with his dogs and surroundings or in my case poaching alone.

when i was a young man i often went out with other people. for a good number of years now i just go out alone apart from the odd trip out with the man who started me off 26 years ago who is now a oap.

I like both, enjoy being on my own, day or night, with just the dog/s but i also enjoy a mouch in company. The key to it in my opinion is finding the right company.

I love hunting a lone and thats what i always did. But since finding one, i have to say, a decent, reliable hunting partner, who you are in tune with . . . . is worth his / her weight in gold.
