I do a bit of photography/video/fishing and less shooting but it dont bother me either way , I shot solid for 45 yrs then had a break for a few yrs and started back this yr but admit I have lost the appetite for clays that I had , although I enjoy going with family when they clay shoot , just operating trap remotes and coaching .

Prob just do a couple of wildfowling trips later on when it suits

Worryingly I thought that's the way it could go :lol:

I think I could try the photography. Wildlife without killing it!

I'd probably go back to cars/bikes, and falling out with the missis.. She knows shooting chills me out after a crazy week at work, and it's 100% safer than a superbike.. So as long as I don't take the **** she doesn't get on at me. (no dear. I diddnt come in at 630 sunday morning, it must have been a dream....)

I'm at my chuffing wits end with both shooting and fishing. I don't mind the odd blank but this season has been so **** that I'm sick and tired of wasting my time. I just sit there getting anxious as I know I could be doing something more productive. I tend to just do things with garaunteed results now like shrimping or clamming. I'm so hacked off with the lack of sport it's not true. I couldn't even bag up at Bewl on an any method ticket!! I felt like launching my kit over the side and going down the pub. It's got to the point where I've got such a hang up about yet another dissappointment I'd rather not even bother. Missing the point completely I know but can't seem to get out of my negative state of mind.

 

What would I rather do instead?

Well, I'm too old, fat and knackered to go back to rugby, can't/won't play golf and am a useless so and so in the garden, so..........better not give up the shooting then!!

 

Actually, i like a bit of fluff chucking every now and then and as has been said earlier, having a mosey round with a camera can be just as rewarding.

 

Think i might start collecting interesting washing up liquid bottles...

Think I'd rekindle my love of scuba diving, just as expensive and equally dangerous. Still have a couple of wetsuits, mask, snorkel and fins, sold the rest to finance shooting. Only thing is, everytime I get in the water I hear, da da........da da.....dada dada dadaderrrrrrr

There have been times i have fished more and times were i have shot more. If i were to loose shooting and guns for whatever reason i would still need an excuse to get out productively into the same areas with real purpose so i might just get into the gundogs more or start falconary if i had the time to commit. I would love to hunt with a pair of pointers and a birds of prey. I still fish but i feel you need that other leg to things when it becomes monotonous
