I totally agree with you, but you do your home work first, get to know the guy, have a drink with him, weigh things up then decide. I have at last found a gang of lads who run their own pack of hounds, who have done just that with me. If like me, the lad has note to hide he'll be prepared to give his name, adress ect to anyone who is prepared to get to know him, don't forget HE could be taking a risk too.
Any way i could still do with a bit of ratting if anyone would let me tag along
