thye maybe dont want real worl articles thought many times about putting real worls paragraphs with pics , then thought what they done for working lurcher etc

 

Yes could well be the case and truth is that if a person hunted alot in whichever arena most have seen the action depicted in most articles so its pretty boring due to having see and done it.

 

How many stories can you do on the subject of hunting with dogs in a basic way said writer goes to said permission and catches rabbits with a dog with slight varitions of the story.

 

Thats it its the same in the pigeon shooting world the internet has brought knowledge to the masses derailing the need for handwriters .

 

But having said that reading and knowledge in books/mags helps but nothing replaces thousands of hours from boyhood to old age in the field dealing with the highs and lows of hunting first hand .

You were going to put paragraphs in the cmw? Now that would have been worth reading I'm sure penny and co would like that, if only to deflect the flak from them

[BLACKWATER... 157]

flaks nothing if backed up with true knowledge on dogs and hunting , if you have the minerals to back it up in the feild baw , if you write from hard one expierence genuine hunting men not internet hunters soon see whose done a bit or just messing at times

Here quote pasted about WHIN

 

A certain member is the worst cuplrit for this - where it seems that anyone who isn't out 5 days a week feeding the village by harvesting 100's of bunnies a week off the bleak and harsh moors, is just 'messing' and to be bellittled and looked down on at any opportunity

That's always going to be the problem sadly but there are writers out there (Suffolk Bill, Welsh All Black, Colin Didriksen, Paul Dooley, Chris Breen, Simon Fairclough...I could go on) who do manage to write engaging and interesting articles that go miles beyond the "dog chased rabbit" standard and that's what makes them good articles I suppose. You come away feeling as though after the ten minutes spent reading their piece that you know a little bit more about them; about their life and how they interact with dog/quarry/nature. That's a real skill.

 

Some blokes write straight factual stuff and that's fair enough. Some of the best I've read have been from lads who've experienced hunting in other countries (there was one in EDRD about hunting in Hawaii not too long ago and I enjoyed that) and I always enjoy reading about lads' trips abroad. You can almost see their sense of excitement when they face their first boar/badger/elk etc. It's very, very hard to translate the excitement of your first rabbit or hare or fox into words and I know for one I've never been able to do it. I remember my old lurcher's first lamped rabbit at 7 months old and her sons first bit of big tackle at 9 months old and I can genuinely remember every twist and turn and the excitement rises when I think about it. If I could get that down on paper accurately and convey those emotions, nerves and insecurities, I'd be a rich man.

 

We have always tried to encourage people to try their hand at writing articles either through threads such as this, or through running competitions, often in conjunction with EDRD where the winning article gets published in there. Is there anything else that we can be doing to bring through new talent whether young or old?
