madmechanic12 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi i think the best way to start this forum is to introduse myself, I am 36 yrs old currently not very active with shooting and fishing but always have been and hopefully soon will be again.We hopefully have some great fallow stalking in line. The story starts in south west scotland(dumfrieshire). Still at school i had a lot to do with my Dads 400 acre farm releasing between 6-800 pheasants for our shoot each year, i then moved onto gamekeeping on leaving school. I have always been very keen on lamping using my Dads parker hale .270 and my .22 rimfire. I took on a lot of pest contol in the area also lots of fishing with rod and line also Ha-af netting. Through the years my Dad planted most the farm into trees causing an influx of roe deer. I got my BDS certificates and started taking clients out. I got an invite by one to new zealand so went there for six months, In that time getting a lot of amazing fishing in and also bagging some good trophies including a good goat at 36 inches between points, a nice chamois and equealed the best Tarr for that year.(2002) I carried on my stalking on return and also got into falconry for 3 or 4 years flying a female harris and a male peri/saker but a couple of years later i moved down to shropshire got married where i am now with children working as full time mechanic and retained firefighter. (sold birds as had no space and time). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
