inan 841 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 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. 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? youve hit the nail on the head mate as i said earlier some people are just gifted when it comes to writting, ill just stick to me photo`s The thought of Paul doing pictures for countrymans weekly ATB Cookie Even in focus pics get slagged by some, as Magwitch can testify.Isn't that so Cookie? Which MAGWITCH there seems to be two I standby my comments still The Magwitch whom you slag every time he puts up a photo.And you don' t"stand by your comments" you sit on a computer and make them anonymously.

bunnys 1,228 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Pmsl cookie There are a lot of easy targets on here, mostly the guys who take themselves too serious. Everyone on here loves watching egos get deflated, it's just human nature. They could learn a lot from the minshaw thread, the first to last longer than a day never mind countless pages of praise. The reason why it's lasted? At the beginning Andy even poked fun at it instead of rising to the bait, this allowed him a platform to be admired instead of ridiculed. A lot of folk on here could learn a lesson from that phsycology his the master weapon in all walks of life and society . atb bunnys. Quote Link to post
