Walesy 13 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 So people.What did your parents think when you started hunting as a kid? Just asking because I want to start this season with cattys and maybe an air rifle, I can get permission and all, but my mum will probably think im a serial killer. Oh well, she's a vegeterian, i wouldn't expect much support Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I was born into a hunting family ... Mother included so it wasn't a problem for me ... Just explain the facts to your mother about respecting quarry etc but with her being a veggie you could have an up hill struggle lol ..... What part of wales you from young man ........

MALT one of the mods on here is from there if you have a problem with your parents he could come along and speak to them as a responsible member of the hunting community ... I am sure he would be more than happy if you asked him ....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walesy 13 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 We have a lurcher and a whippet but both are family pets, and both getting on. The whippet loses his head if another dog comes in the house so that wouldn't be too practical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,800 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 If there's still a "young hunters" section on here, you might get more response from people in the same position? Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
