No, It will rumble on as it is mate, Once we are all gone then it will end. We are possibly the last, The hunting game is being wiped out slowly but surly. Sign of the times.

chartpolski 28,690 Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 This is a hunting site in name only now. Where are the hunting posts. There are discussions ABOUT hunting and dogs, etc, but no actual HUNTING posts. The forum with by far the heaviest traffic is General Topics. That will keep the site going, but with less and less people posting or joining. Shame, really, but that’s the times we live in, hunting is now seen as something terrible not something to be enjoyed ! Cheers. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Personally it did not bother me either, But it was an issue for the forum in general. That's the only reason they were removed, Anyway, there back on, so the ball is in there court mate, Hope the fishing comp is as successful as it has been in the past, I would love to be there but unfortunately i have issues in my life that prevent me from attending, I did manage the first one though all those years ago Lol. Understand that mate, got to protect the bit that's left! Lol Thanks, shame you can't make it, 10 years since the first one this year!! Perhaps finding a "home" at the fishery we use now has taken a little away from the Comp road show from before, but the owners make it our place for the weekend and that's hard to find... its still a great do, and over £30k raised over the years... THL has certainly done more good than bad for most of us, met genuine mates and had some great laughs over the years... 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with you there mate, Met more good than bad over the years and when the chips are down like when we had the auction to help the bloke whose dogs were taken by the RSPCA we came together. over 5k for his legal fees was raised.

In a nutshell no you wouldn’t you would move on and look elsewhere, that’s a fair point to be honest from the forum owner’s perspective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While I agree in principle....I don't actually want many hunting posts....I do plenty and I know other lads do plenty, I'm just not arsed about talking about it on the internet, how much talking can you actually do? I like the fact that thl has lots of lads with generally the same background or at least same outlook on life....we can then have a laugh and moan and blow of steam chatting shite.
