JimLondon Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Hats off to you for what you do,I know a lot on here ( including me ) would be very sceptical about taking strangers out in the field. Don't let one bad apple spoil what you are doing. Assuming he doesn't have a really good reason for the let down ATB Jim Edited February 15, 2015 by JimLondon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_79 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Very disappointing to hear of that happening, I hope it didn't effect your day too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have to agree with T.C. name him. There are a lot of genuine people on here who try and try to get some permission to shoot on land, it is a shame if they now have to suffer for the behaviour of 1 ignorant ***hole.

Carman06 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Where have people's mannors gone. It's just disrespectful. It really winds me up when people treat others like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 One of the mods will be on soon saying don't name and shame and instead talk to them, but this way no one finds out who the messers are and risks others people crossing paths with them in the future.

Luckyshot Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 It would be good if we could rate the people we take out just so others know what they are like for when they want to offer a days shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could of put someone in the field that had asked, He wont to the chance again, Dave A couple of years ago I offered to take people out pigeon shooting, said yes to the first 4 via pm 2 of whom were together, only 1 turned up, the rest cancelled a day or two before ! In days when I didn't have my own permissions I'd have walked to an invite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have taken a number of shooters out for a days pigeon shooting and they have all turned up and had a good day out . Two of these good old boys now help me out on the rape when ever they can manage to get out and the birds are hitting the fields . I would be a bit annoyed if somebody I had invited out did not turn up with out good reason . They wouldn't get a second chance .

Paddy Galore! Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 well how very rude. lol! perhaps the perpetrator is reading this and will apologise. I don't take many people out anymore, last year was a complete disaster anyway as we were busy with the new place, but the last person I took out had some "attitude adjustment" on his last trip. maybe you were saved from a similar fate and the chap decided to just bow out and save you the grief.

The Mighty Prawn Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Granted there may be mitigating circumstances but a no show is the height of rudeness, basically I don't give a stuff about you despite your generous offer. Any time I'm offered shooting I make damn sure that barring a disaster I am there and there on time and ready to go - chatting to a guy I shoot with who arranged to meet someone who when he arrived needed to go and get some cartridges and hadn't had breakfast so an 0800 kick off led to an 1130 setting up.

throttlemonkey Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Rude! I would give my danglies for a day out shooting, if Mrs throttlemonkey didn't have them in her handbag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
