Great reading lads...??

 

Growing up I spent the best days on my grandads small holding. It's a couple of miles from the nearest village but it could well be the middle of nowhere.

Tucked away in the middle of around 400 acres of forestry it was a great place to do what you liked.

I was allowed to walk the woods at 12 with the .22 rifle or shotgun, bagging a pigeon, rabbit or knocking down a crow. No license back then.

Now I own this wee place....the woods have recently been clear felled. The place is not the same.

Lots of dog walkers now makes it stupid to even risk taking the gun for a walk. I think my wee boy who's 7 at the end of the month will miss out on some of the fun that I used to get up too because of stupid laws and nosey twats.

Couple of years I think I'll get him a wee .410, I've already bought a clay trap to get him going.

He enjoys the shooting side of things and loves the dogs......wouldn't mind winning the lottery and buying the surrounding woods. Make life a bit more like I remenber it back then.

The countryside is like an addiction in my opinion, I can't count the times I've almost crashed because I was looking in fields lol

 

I can relate to that i thought maybe its just where im getting old....." stop looking at women and keep your eyes on the road " the mrs would say....now its " stop looking at fields and keep your eyes on the road "

Its called adaption and every generation does it i remember my ol man constantly saying " it aint like it used to be ".....you just have to stay true to yourself i didnt grow up around hunting/wildlife/countryside whatsoever but having found it later in life i,ll never be without it again in some form or another but i wouldnt push it onto my kids or grandkids as its a different time and they must be left to find their feet if somethings right for them they,ll find it like i did.

 

What sort of hunting do you do gnasher.

I remember you talking about the bulldogs.

I have the occasional turn out with the running dogs and lend a hand with some terriers i dont own dogs myself anymore so have to rely on a few good hearted folk near me meaning im lucky to get out much more than once a week so im nowhere near as hardcore as some of you chaps but as with the bulldogs ive found once you are bitten by the bug its hard to ignore it and the countryside seems to of got a bit of a grip on me over the years............how about yourself what sort of hunting do you do ?

gnasher i have invited you to come up for a dig plenty of times but you only ever come once

I think Cat Stevens, sorry Yusuf Islam as he's known now hits the nail on the head with his song, "Where do the children play" Always get me thinking this song whats it going to be like for kids in the future? Scary thought.
