Guest Vagabond Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Just a quick note to introduce myself. Retired oceanographer and marine biologist. Have retired from hunting and shooting, to concentrate on fishing. Used to follow foxhounds on foot as a youth, was also well into ferreting, lots of rough shooting, and some wildfowling. I have dabbled with falconry. I still support these activities, although I rarely participate now. Son No 3 runs a lurcher, Daughter No 2 rides to hounds, most of the family fish, some shoot and many keep dogs. My main hunting activities are fishing in all its forms, sea, game, coarse, saltwater fly fishing and big game fishing. Joining this forum is, for me, mostly about solidarity between field sportsmen and women - I am rather disgusted at many anglers' attempts to distance themselves from fox hunting in a folorn hope that this would appease the "antis" and allow anglers to fish unmolested. Old enough to remember Adolf Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, and Munich firsthand, I know where a policy of appeasment leads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
