I used to read it regular till about 10 year ago, still got a couple of boxes from the 90's.

 

Anyway, I heard there was an article about terriers working abroad and was shocked to read the anti slant from the writer. Gets me angry thinking about it now.

 

Then there was the thing with Vixen's tickets she offered out for the midland and Tracey from TCMW seemed to get some personal vendetta about it all. WTF?!

 

 

 

The majority of people who write for them do it for the £$. £50 an article..... well do that 3 or 4 times a month soon adds up. I remember a well known ferreter saying it payed for his kids nappies - full of shit!

 

 

Maybe 10 + years ago some kudos from your thoughts getting printed in a weekly but I put a higher value on the opinions of some bits and bobs I read here and elsewhere on my computer screen.

Hi Guys and Gals

I think many of you on the forum will know my name from days long gone and from the articles and books I write today about hunting. I've had a few queries in the past as to why I no longer contributed to this forum .. and invitations to return. Always tempting, as I live to hunt. Yet the forum, too often, drifts away from the subject of hunting and deteriorates into the sort of pathetic, personalised and meaningless attack I've just read here. What purpose does this serve? Aren't we all meant to be defending a common cause here? Hunting? Christ knows there are few enough magazines on the shelf that still serve our purpose and defend our way of life? Even if you choose to attack the magazine because it has to (legally) toe the line in reporting content and adherance to the Hunting Act, why personally attack the magazines staff? Easy target? You guys are really big, hard hunters aren't you? Hidden behind secret names on a discrete forum. Wow. I'm impressed. Can I ask the mods to get this topic back on track please? Do your job, you have rules. I see them being flouted here and no action taken. Would you let someone talk about your wife, girlfriend in this manner .. which has nothing to with hunting? Come on, guys? If I was a mod, I would be demanding an apology here or an eviction.

I suspect that the Mods will take the easy option and ban me. We'll see.

Now .. anyone want an informed and sensible debate? Be quick, cos' I'm normally out hunting, not stuck to a PC talking about it.

your sport is air rifles lets say in a few years time the anti`s turn there full attention on you and your sport/hobby/living and a law is imposed allowing you only to hunt rats and rabbits, then the press stick the boot in by convincing the general public that all air rifle shooting is against the law and is only done by poachers and all poachers are criminals with connections to the Mafia, it then gets to the point where every time you lawfully go about your buisness a miss informed member of the public phones the police. Then one day you go to the newsagents to pick up your copy of an air rifle mag that you have supported by buying every month for as long as you can remember. you sit down with a cuppa in front of the fire, turn to page 3 and there looking back at you is a 2 page spread advertising poacher watch and telling people the same thing..................................

I agree there's no need for personal insults at all, the topic should stay on track, its touched a raw nerve with some people, anything of this manner will be removed, posts can be reported using the report option.

Ok then i ask you why, use a photo of a lurcher running , with poacher watch? as i've said before, why not a rifle with an NV set up on, or is it just we with lurchers are easy to target ??

also as i run a business my self,i'd like to know what business plan are you using, because the one i use, the number one rule is don't piss your customers off

OH and my names graham ......... and i live at a little place called .......... in the north east! and i'l happily say what i've said on here to your face

[TOMO 26,176]

What a f*****g commotion!

 

One thing I have come to realise is that dogmen are real good at fighting and moaning and pretty f*****g piss poor at putting aside their petty differences and getting organised. Shooting men and hunting men seem to be able to do this but dogmen as a collective just can't!

 

I don't buy the countrymans anymore because it's literally a 10 min read, 2 quid for ten minutes of being occupied........ I'd rather give my 2 quid to the local tramp!! But I'm not jumping on this bash the 'sell out writers' for supporting the mag for their 200 quid a month............ FFS it's hardly a lottery win is it? It's pocket money, and tbh I couldn't be arsed to put pen to paper every week for 50 quid! My only thought on the matter is better people on our side to write in there regularly than it all be one sided anti BS! Yeah they are taking their 50 quid a time but they are doing a lot more good for the cause than any of you lot moaning, that's a fact, and if I had to side with the 'enemy' to get to help our cause I would do in a heart beat.

 

Tell me what will do us more good...... a pro coursing article in the CMW or a pro coursing article in EDRD..........?

 

And for christ sake..... when will people finally realise that Cameron CAN'T repeal the god for saken f*****g hunting act because all the Tory haters wouldn't f*****g vote for him!

you write books and articles about hunting and your out hunting all the time..............ok ., you the kiddy..

this forum is about opionions,.................and if your reviewing books exspect opionions on people who have contributed to those mags / books........

yeah it was taken abit far about tracy and i will be first to apologise ,...........but i will stick by my own dealings with her and i will call her arrogant and i will tell any person to there face what i will write on here.......ian its a hunting web site full of mostly men and we do easily get carried away with some issues but i would call the silly bits as harmless banter with no intent ...........especially on my behalf. you do have a valid point but sadly its public forums and they do stray ,.................maybe the forum isnt for you ............good luck with your writing , i mean hunting lol

shooting and hunting men are not demonised by the media at the minute but time well may change that. The thread is not about who contributes articles and for how much its about being shafted by a publication, they could as graham says have put a picture of a shooter with night vision but no they choose a lurcher to go with there poacher watch article.
