syntax 0 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi all, just joined the site and have spent ages reading loads of different topics. I feel out of place because every new member seems to be already associated with hunting in someway, but nevermind, got to start somewhere. I dont know all the lingo but basically I have allways wanted to get into shooting, even if its just a bit of plinking in the garden, but am also really keen to get out and hunt small game. In some ways I wonder why I want to hunt animals at all, but in other more prominent ways I really want to experience stalking through some countryside , setting up my rifle, and with a steady hand taking that special headshot that im sure you all know about. My first question is, am i wrong for wanting to do this? Secondly, how likely is it that I could find a place to shoot where the small game is a pest?, so it wouldnt be hunting just for fun, id be killing two birds with one pellet if you know what im saying...sorry that was cheap. (Ie:Legal hunting) Im from Southampton by the way, and from what I can tell the south doesnt seem to be ideal for hunting, any idea's? I work as a photographer and have been asked to go out to do some rabbit lamping shots(not sure if thats what it is called?) so it would be a pleasure to post the results on here. I'll try not to make my posts so long next time either, lol. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
