Fishing the canal & boating lake in Victoria park east London was my start , then further afield to Ongar ,that's when I watched a pheasant shoot which for a boy out of eastend was a real eye opener .Never got my 1st gun till I was 23,Zabala 12g ,meet a guy who had lurchers & terriers,shot & stalked . I was hooked. Have fished ,shot stalked ever since,stalking is my big thing along with the dog .The guy I met 35 years ago was the most generous man both in time & sporting opportunity who is still a great friend today ...
