Happy Place/ Escape

Sitting outside my tiny caravan in my woodland.  I could spend hours just sitting there, and just looking and listening.

Just by the answers in this thread I can tell its not just being out the woods and wild. It's feeling it all as you walk your way if you get my drift. I see people in bright clothing out for walk a chatting (Loud) never taking it all in or feeling the very essence of the nature they are in. 

I believe thats why we are Hunters we sort of tune in and you cant take that out of us.

Cheers Arry

I've always completely agreed with that Arry.

Being a hunter of any kind is a pain in the ass. You're out at all hours of the day and night , in all weather conditions,  but something inside makes you do it , you don't have a choice , you just have to.  Sometimes you'll take a break from it , but it always pulls you back.

That nice feeling when I’m laying in a hedgerow with my rifle completely blended in with my surroundings occasionally turning on my bird app when I hear an unusual bird call, whilst waiting for a rabbit to pop out, two to three hours of that and it sorts me out for a couple of days.

It's wired into our DNA Arry,as humans were tribal and that's how we have survived and as a tribe we need different people to survive,we need hunters to feed us,warriors to protect us and folk to care for us etc etc. That is why you get all sorts of people, feck me boxers,MMA,all fighters of sorts they like the ruck and a ruck is not a nice place to be but ask a fighter why and they can't really answer,it's in their DNA,same as us lot out in all weathers and sometimes we even say to ourselves "what the f are we doing ?" but were out again soon after. I myself feel a bit  sick every time i let a terrier go to ground,it worries me rotten and i just can't not feel like that but it's epic when a flash of ginger bolts out or when you break through to see your dog wagging his tail and being the thing he was bred to be...Yep i am a old hippy and it does sound a bit cosmic but anyone else explain it better then i am all ears......

Just on my own, that can be in a field or at home, my missus doesn’t understand this, as she likes to be with people and to talk

There's a little spit of a pond surrounded by hilly ground a stones throw from here that I feel very connected to, caught my first fish there while on my own as a kid, ferreted and snared rabbits with my ole fella and brothers in the hedgerows, lamped it with my first lurcher, dug and bolted foxes with my first terriers all in the little hills surrounding that little pond.

A place that has a calming effect that I can easily waste a few hours away in and still do regularly.

In 2018 I was going through a bit of a rough time  after work most nights I took the dogs out on the local hill and started building this I don’t know why but I think it helped my sanity

At my happy place today, quickly fed the birds, put the bike away and went for a walk, no rifle, just walking and watching. Watched 7 fallow just browsing through a forestry block and a cock pheasant and a squirrel having a scrap, didn’t see a soul for over 3 hours
