Now i know what you are saying . . . .

 

But with any kind of sport, including hunting, having good, fit for purpose gear, can make life a lot easier!

 

A good locator is essential i would say.

 

Spending 20-40 quid on good leads, couples, slips, collars whatever for your dogs to wear day in day out, isnt an extravagance!

 

And a decent 4x4 would be very handy if you do a lot of hunting on large parcels of land, especially terrier work.

 

WHile i agree, that how you look, isnt important, having the right tools for the job is, and whilst snobbery can be a pain, inverted snobbers can be just as bad or worse.

Think a pair of terrier couples etc are 40 quid from ss. Not that much if your dogs are out a lot. I spent 20 quid on a collar for mine, and if he wears it for ten years, thats 2 quid a year. . . . . . .

I find it funny with the whole real tree look being turned into casual wear, I was at a fur and feather auction the other week and the amount of folk who turned up in full real tree camo was crazy!

 

I would prefer to have the right gear for the job in hand even of its more expensive, I don't go and buy my strong stuff gear, bellman and 4x4 etc to look the part as I don't care what other folk think, as long as the gear I use is up to. The job and I'm getting plenty of digging I'm happy.
