Packing The Game In.

[johnrthrfrd 223]

Well after 30 odd years of ferreting think it's time to pack in after losing 2 good permissions and nowt or very few on any of the others and traveling and knocking on doors for months to no avail sending emails and everything else a can think of seems like getting any new perm is not happening to long in the tooth for the no perm option can't run as fast as could probably will just keep the owld stinkers and let them finish there days here in retirement at least wor lass will be happy she's always morning about the nets drying etc.

Do you have any new hobbies in mind John?

What you need is an apprentice John, some one young and keen to carry all your gear and do the digging.

Most important thing is you are keeping close to nature.

One sold up and a tree hugger bought it says they deplore hunting of any type other decided to let another lad on as well as me and he left gates open just turned up with mates in tow basically just made a complete axxe of him self farmer chucked him off and tarred me with the same brush saying he was letting no one on his land.

Am in north east still plenty of enthusiasm to get out when a can but farmers etc just don't seem to trust any body these days and who can blame them in a way when you see some of the idiots that are about and the theiving that goes on. A have a lad who goes out with me and he is the same full on and like you say gets you going on them days when your not fully motivated lol.

Iv only a couple of permissions and one of them i get the cops phoned on me every time i go on it now. Some twat claiming to be the landowner. But its not its one of his neighbours. Soon as i started going on with the lurcher they started lifting the phone. Infact i got cops phoned on me for walking past the land never mind being on it. It is getting near impossible to get permissions nowadays. I felt like getting rid of the dog and ferrets at the start of the season as it seriously restricted my hunting and still is kind of. Just try share perms till something comes up. Ill share my perms with another guy i trust and he shares his with mine. Then sometimes we stray too and dont know whos land we are on . Has to be done sometimes.
