Thats sad mate bless 1 1 Quote Link to post

Wish he was that well behaved in the house Wether he sticks at it, I don't know, but he understands we as hunters need to manage the land 10 1 Quote Link to post

He doesn’t look that young so for a kid that age to sell his xbox for a lamp you gotta be on to a winner. Rarely able to get my son out he does like his xbox but also plays football four times a week to a good standard so I don’t nock him. Probably get him out 3 times a season but he seems to think it’s all action as soon as we’re out so If we don’t see anything in first hour or so he’s had enough . I’ve told him to expect the unexpected but he don’t like waiting that long 2 Quote Link to post
