I'm gonna have a rant here and feel free to join in or disagree.... When I started out hunting, I was proud to be associated as a hunter, still am. But it's getting increasingly like a dirty little se

My friends think I lost the plot when I got the hunting bug, especially as I am a townie and always have been. The worst thing is I work in an office for a government agency (don't hate me, it pays we

I couldnt give a shit what folk think of me tbh .ive more to annoy me!

I live in industrial lancashire, we are on the edge of some nice countryside and the pennines but just as close to some of the biggest urban areas in the uk, the countryside and rural pubs are also full to the brim with townies......yet while I reconise some of what you say I also think we dont do too bad. Local pubs and markets/butchers sell game like never before, on a days shooting or following hounds we may see hundreds of walkers, school groups and townies but id say 99 out of a hundred are fine and show interest, only the tiny minority have a problem. I make sure everyone I come into contact with knows I hunt, I have hunting stickers in my car and its never been damaged. I can proberly count on one hand the people in my area/social circle/pubs I visit who are really anti or have any issues with what I do, and I can easily show them right up in any discussion.

15 years ago I couldnt give game away, even if oven prepared, now people will ask me for it even in feather, because of all the cooking/hugh witenstall type programs.

 

Personally I think we are in a better position now than 15 years ago. We have the perfect stage to push game foods given the meat scares. We have changed peoples views on hunting with hounds, the average person now knows hunting is more than just snobs on horses and arnt really arsed anymore. Compared to public opionon/knowledge 15 to 20 years ago we have done loads.

 

But it is still in the hands of all who hunt, write to all your local newspapers at least once a year on any fieldsport/rural issue. Push local game on everyone you know, take local kids out fishing or set up an air rifle range in your garden. Put hunting stickers in your car, wear field sports t-shirts promting hunting, mention to everyone you meet that you hunt.

Personally I don't think the publics perception of hunting with hounds has improved.....support for hunts is up,but I think many of these are people who were fence sitters before and now realise their support is essential,as for the snobs on horses brigade,i spent years trying to educate/argue about thisthen lo and behold I was sat watching TV one night with my teenage daughters "Ladette to Lady" :blink: was on ,the premise of the show being teaching "rough"young women into ladies.The one episode I had the misfortune to sit through showed a visit from the MFH of whichever pack.......Ive never been a fence sitter and will continue in that vein.....he was the most odius,repugnent,chauvenistic lowlife I have ever seen ,not because he was posh/rich,he was a thoroughly despicable in every way,Icould quite cheerfully chew the blokes face off,if a staunch pro hunter like myself can be so revilled by this cretin to such an extent how would this go down with any antis viewing it,sometimes we just don't help ourselves the likes of this piece of shit should be kept well away from any media coveridge .........rant over :censored::angel: ,

 

Hello everyone, newbie here, saw that episode and he did the hunting crowd no good at all but that programme was made to wind us up, it's not real life. We need to stick together be it hunting, shooting fishing, dog men or Bird men. The Antis see us as the same..
