Ranger81 4 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hey I'm Peter 31 from Argyll work as a gym instructor and lifeguard. Decided to take up hunting to distance myself from the commercial meat industry and put less money in the coffers of the supermarket giants. Starting with a PCP and hopefully moving on to a deer rifle and shotgun as funds allow. Was quite ignorant of much to do with fieldsports and had major preconceptions ( call it conditioning I suppose ) until I read Tovar Cerulli's book 'The Mindful Carnivore' and got into the River Cottage series on TV. Eyes have been well and truly opened now and I realize you can still be a nature lover and be compassionate towards animals while still being a hunter ( more so than having a slaughterhouse do the job for you on an animal with a questionable existence ). Anyway that's enough rambling and philosophy looks like a great forum have been reading for hours already. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
