ozzy518 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was out on my permission yesterday which includes a wood in the middle of 4 fields. Locals tend to walk their dogs around the outside of it even though its not a public footpath. It can be sometimes annoying seeing someone coming because we stop shooting and break the guns til they have gone. Though tempted to tell these people they shouldnt be there, I prefer to be pleasant, and use the downtime for a coffee and fag break. Yesterday a woman walking her dog appeared and though inwardly p****d off as it was the second dog walker within an hour, I stayed friendly, made a fuss of her dog and gave her a cheery "Good Morning ". Anyway, got chatting and she asked what I was shooting. I told her Woodies but they were being a bit on the shy side. Then she said that she lived on the adjacent farm and that they are getting hammered by Woodies!! Naturally, I offered my services, and now have more land to shoot on. Spose the moral of my rambling is Be nice to dog walkers, you dont know who they are and who they know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 No way. I have to draw the line at metal detecting and stamp collecting. I mean, why? It's just plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
