BIGLURKS 874 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Just the end of the shooting year for me was meant too have the last day of a syndacte shoot iam in and for the past 4 months I've had niggling feeling that I don't care about the gun any more or the things that I shoot and every shoot u usually will beat one shoot one but I've found my self less caring about standing and more concentrating on my dogs for the last couple of years I've always had my ferreting on a Sunday too pass the time but this year I've not had any ferrets too pass my time but coming too the thing iam going too give up my guns and get back into my ferreting any one ever lose interest in shooting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigdog Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 lab was talking about this recently, he's in the same boat, should be a thread somewhere Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsteve9999 456 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 My only real shooting is pigeons and they've been sparse for me this year, but I'm at my happiest just mooching with the dog to be honest. I've just come back from a couple of hours with him and the gun and only fired one shot but would still have enjoyed it without the gun, In fact just lately I've had a great time with him and a catapult after squirrels in a local wood that I can't shoot.

paulus 26 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 ive not really shot much for the last 3 or 4 years, it became a chore in the end, i would much rather see the dogs on something than see the bead or crosshair on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferretgirl79 200 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I thought about taking up shooting on loads of occasions...........then he goes out with the dogs and I seem to lose the urge. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham4877 1,181 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Not knocking anyone who shoots.. but its utter crap tbh I've seen myself go out with gun of a night and come back home half an hour later for dogs.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,304 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Purfer to go out with the dogs or by my self with the camera Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PIL 7 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 One of two things with the gun , either your that good that it's too easy or your that bad that you cannot hit anything . If you were that good you'd be picked for the Olympics soooo ... Not aimed at any one person individually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oxo 415 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Going through it myself at the minute, not been out stalking in six months and not missing it either, club membership due this month too.To be honest lately i have had as much enjoyment out of knocking over a rat or pigeon with a catty, just got back into ferreting and enjoyed a couple of trips out, shootings very much on the backburner.
