Kay 3,709 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Is it just me or do people who appose anything strongly never see the other side, or simply dont want to see outside of there biggoted ideals when my lads where little they were shown & asked if they wanted to come on days out rabbiting, neither lad showed a massve interest in rabbiting , the younger lad does go shooting with his grandad but i felt they would make up their own minds about hunting in general I certainly dont feel pressure from others & kids being ostracized is a healthy thing, they either like it or dont 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulus 26 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 when my youngest was at primary school in the village, a new head mistress started at the begining of term, one day my lad got into a fight (boys will be boys) during the fight the other lad said im going to kill you with a kniife, my lad retaliated with im going to blow your head off, now bear im mind these lads were 7 year olds in a school playground, however the week before my lad had given a talk at school on ferreting and shooting as he was a good shot with a 20 bore at that age. That head mistress felt the need to inform the police of what my son had said durring that fight, no mention of what the other lad had said. i even had a visit from my FLO luckily she was sound about it.

The one 8,399 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 My son wouldn't mention what we get up to while out ferreting ,shooting etc at school reckoned it wasn't worth the hassle as only his few close mates knew he had a lurcher and ferrets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Don't know why your concerned in other folks kids. As long as you teach and educate your own that's all that matters. Not a dig btw , just an opinion. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wullz 408 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Only thing these days Scot is, as Paulus states, there are some eejits out there that will call the cops at the drop of a hat....even for language "mis-use". A lad I know in Preston got in real trouble when his nipper ( said he was gonna get his dad's gun and shoot someone......you have to watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Oh I understand it's beneficial ,but surely that up to the parents of the kids. Many times have we read about stuff being taught in schools, and it pissed the parents off. We weren't taught stuff like that at school, but even from as far back as I can remember I was into nature and catching rabbits etc. my patents weren't shooters or hunters but when they saw I was interested and it wasn't just a fad, they encouraged and helped me out, by taking me snd mates away and picking us back up. When I was older they got me first shotgun, after I had hot my certificate of course. Just my thoughts lads, maybe in not the best person to have an opinion in this, as I'm not a parent.

Kay 3,709 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Starnge isn't it, it is socially accepable to ram religion down childrens necks and brain wash them with rubbish but its wrong to allow them to make up their own minds about what they do out of school as a hobby! I guess the organisations like cubs brownies is basically teaching some fieldcraft skills, but it stops at filling something with lead or ringing your quarrys neck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is Scott, the 'keep our selves to ourselves' approach has got us no where. It's a great approach if you don't have enemys but when you do propaganda plays a nasty role.

Not a dig btw , just an opinion. You can teach your Kids,Rights an Wrongs,the BIG BUT,'' PEER PRESSURE''...some kids want to be part of something,Not always what DAD wants.As You'll Know. I would rather my Kids intoduced their pals to Hunting the Outdoors,than them being Introduced to spliffs,shagging around and eating Quorn..like some of their pals Middleclass Parents ..
