Daveo 61 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 A few years ago after tying to remember various events i decided to start a hunting diary. I started it to record the working life of one particular dog but he died in his second season so i started recording basically everything iv caught since. I really enjoy flicking through it, i keep the info really basic and just record who, where and when and anything of note that happened. I find i can instantly recall the trip then and the book never lies so i know just what i caught.. I just wondered if anyone else keeps one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never used to but did start last season and forgot to carry on about december/january time, i started from when my season first started this year, a few times i have forgotten about it but then i suddenly remembered and now it's just become a habit lol. I think it's a good idea as i too love looking back, i also make note of when my dogs injure themselves and now bringing on my pup im making note of her first catches, when and what age which i have never really done.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 I don't have a diary but when I very first started shooting i always took a camera with me and made sure I'd get some pics. These are all in a dedicated photo album from when I first started up to current days. Its good to see old friends along the years that i once shared an afternoon shooting with.

Daveo 61 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 CODE gentlemen if what your up to is that illegal The real crime will come in 40 years when your telling your grandkids about how you caught at least 23 20+lb hares in one day or you dug 67 foxes from one earth. Rose tinted spectacles here you come. Or have you that little respect for the countryside you don't really care what you kill? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
