They changed our laws a few years back so otters can only be trapped nowadays. Any encounter I have now is accidental. Taken preban. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

THE STIFFMEISTER 18,115 Posted Saturday at 20:39 Report Share Posted Saturday at 20:39 I’d love to have been a PH in post ww1 era Africa or to hunted with Corbett in India for empirical man eating leopards I’d love to have , in another life , driven the plains of the mid west with a truck loaded with hard and cold bloods to drop onto coyotes and hares and watch them disappear into the horizon id like to have walked the frozen forests of Canada with a bow with chuck Adam’s in search of the next pope and young record specimen but mainly , I’m thankful that I’ve had some great crack with some great people and some fantastic animals in an era when it wasn’t such a f***ing naus to get out with a running dog something my boy , will sadly never experience 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eastcoast 4,849 Posted Monday at 19:01 Report Share Posted Monday at 19:01 I can see the appeal of hunting exotic quarry in far away lands, less appealing the older that I get, but for me it would just be the British Isles. No better "country" in the world, no better range of quarry for the sporting dogs that we developed and perfected. So a time machine, rather than a large bank account or sense of adventure needed. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harryshounds 1,759 Posted Monday at 23:08 Report Share Posted Monday at 23:08 Id love to hunt a mink along a river and put him to a hole and scratch him out with my terrier....Ive never seen in the wild but I'm sure my lad has given tongue on one a couple of times when hunting along local streams and I think he marked a hole before that something bolted unseen from. Like a rat hole but had bones n feathers in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly does mate . I remember in the 80s and 90s working down the pit and hod carrying on building sites and nobody would bat an eyelid when bringing and selling game i had caught with my dogs wether rabbits hare's or venison i dread to think what the reaction would be now in the workplace place probably some idiot putting it on social media or phoning crime stoppers. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would be up the HR office. Yeah different world now gone are the days when you could walk down the high street with a shot gun under your arm and pop in for a pint .
