Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I agree Aaron! I grew up in a hunting home but became a mild anti (for want of a better phrase) during the first couple of years of college: that's college for you! However, by the time I left college I'd looked into things in more depth and realised all the stuff I'd been hearing was lies. When I bought my first lurcher and started working her I kept quite about it at first, worried about what others would think. After a few years I became more open and honest about it and was amazed at how many pro-hunting people there are around. I've lost count of the number of people I've met who say something along the lines of, "Oh, you keep ferrets. My grandad had ferrets and I went out with him every week when I was little." Keep educating people as to what you do Georgia. Some won't listen but some do: I'm proof of that. OOOOHHH- YAAAH ! )sorry US military term for "I agree !!! " We are the original 'organics'....we take from the woods and leave something for the field.Some of my best advocates, used to be 'tree huggers'. Now they know how much we hunters love the countryside....and some love to chase coyotes with long dogs ,now. Because it is as it has always been... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
leegreen 2,100 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 ... the secret is dont tell anyone feck all - keep your hunting exploits to yourself .. I did part of CSE English exam about dogs took a bald faced Staff/Russel (which was a proper animal)in for a talk, no body bothered me, but I suppose it was very different in 19?? We were still able to sell fox skins and used to get between £7-£15 depending how damaged they were, now most of our foxes are killed cleanly and we just chuck them, what a waist But yes nowadays tell them feck all.

Because it is as it has always been... i`ve done the marchs i`ve put more time in than i dare admit tryin to promote terriermen and terrier work in a good light . i`ve dug every legel quarry when it was legal in the uk , i fish i shoot i do a bit of lamping and a bit of ferreting .. so i know the game i`ve been at the terriers 40 years - but there is a differance in promoting what you do in the right way and being boastfull about it - i remember being part of a digging gang/team in the 80s all and sundry had to know what we where doing taking dogs into pubs smashed up killed this killed that you know the type i left em to get on with it within a few months they`d all been lifted for digging something illegal .. loose tongues get you in trouble - when you know what to say and who to say it to thats the time to promote your sport you cant always educate people more so in this day and age ..

Cold Ethyl 63 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 The way round this is to threaten legal action for defamation of character.If this is a one off type idea then theyre not allowed to say such nonesense.Also write a letter including the word victimisation that usually sorts things out and you want to get on to school board and education authoritys.Also id be making a complaint regarding the head of the school Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,600 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 ... the secret is dont tell anyone feck all - keep your hunting exploits to yourself .. Spot on, ive lost ground through talking about my sport. When ive been just walking my dog, people have asked what type of dog is it, you say lurcher.They say are those dogs that kill rabbits and ..................?.You say no the dog does pest control, to control the rabbits not kill them all. I had [90]acres once, where a keeper let me lamp it.But these [pricks] who lived on the ground, didnt like to see lamps about, and told the keeper that if they see any more they would tell the [land owner] to have it stopped. That was the end of me [ALL because] me talking to a friend of them pricks. [so keep your mouth shut] and do i still have walk over there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pat blewitt 41 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 F==k me , you can tell its half term, seems to me that half the posters on this topic should be practising there spelling, In answer to your question, I dont think its fair that you should be kicked out of school!!1 Because when you write about it nobody will understand what you are trying to say !!!!!!
