cragman 2,631 Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Anyone had a read of the late Eddie Chapmans book, “My Hunting Life”? Any opinions, good or bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I got it last week, so far it's a good, easy read, 400+ pages so not just been thrown together, few good pics and has been produced by Harcombe so is in a much better format than Chapmans old books. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 I know nothing of the man, in fact I keep blacks and the man kept whites, but like I say I've found it quite an easy read so far. I always prefer the books that expand beyond just the days out digging and give you an insight into how other lads go about their day to day routine. But you've got my curiosity Don, so come on, spill some beans. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 My fingers would get worn out telling you how it was ..Shame that the man lost it all to mostly drink..Could have a good chat with him years back but the drink was king ..When he got banned for keeping animals it was finished and Jane carried it on as best she could..Very long story hope he is digging them up there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Hunter 6,608 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 Never imagined him to be a drinker tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
donnyc 1,203 Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 When I said drink the amount he put away daily was amazing only spirits hidden caches everywhere around his yard ..Shame as he was a character in his own right 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
