Hunting alone

[stav11 32]

i love hunting alone, i have a good hunting partner who maybe once a week we go out but it mostly done on my own i call it me time...take for instance yesterday i was out alone and came across some roe tracks fresh i followed them up and found three roe grazing i crept with in 30 yards with the dog and sat and watched them for about ten min before the dog got to impatiant wanting to run them i couldnt slip him as i had to major roads either side of me but it was the pleasure of been me and the dog sat watching them even though the dog was well peed that he didnt run them atb steve

I must admit I love hunting alone..also been part of small profit hunting groups, but there is just something about being out in the dead of the night with a dog or two..

i always get a high after a hard dig or getting the game back to the car after a succesful night on the lamp when im on me own but then i also enjoy the craic out with the lads , seem to be getting older & crankier nowdays & just want to be out alone with me dogs so i can be totally selfish & go & do what ever pleases me like turn off the lamp if the quarry is heading to far away from the car .

hunting alone is what i live for there is nothing better . iv been in the numbers game also in the my dog is better than yours game.

todays hunting as become a challenge to most to see if they can become the most talked about .

gone have the days you could walk up the street with rabbit in hand and old faithfull by your side thinking what a good day you have had and a wonderfull little dog you got.. proving nothing to no one

hunting has changed like all things change but sometimes not for the better.

my kind of post very similiar minded fella never needed to top an ego has this seems to be rife in the job now .atb bunnys.

I think maybe it,s a generation thing , too many nowadays equate hunting with lamping , catching big numbers , having super dogs .

They don,t have the hour at dawn and dusk experience , the patience that working with ferrets teachs you , they have no idea about the habits of thier quarry , they don,t recognise trees or crops they pass every day . in short , they just don,t get how wonderful it is to be out with a dog in surroundings you understand and appreciate .

Every trip out for me is an almost spiritual experience that fills me with a sense of wellbeing , I pity those that will never get this.

Hunting alone is ok if your just going local but if your going 100miles away its a lot easier if there is two or 3 off you.Easier on petrol,on the work load (carry game),digging,dogs,equipment etc etc.
