Retsdon Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 It was never my intention to come over as some sort of drama queen but really I thought that as I probably wouldn't shoot a living pigeon anymore (or any other bird come to that other than a partridge) I probably had no place being here. And I wanted to let the PW community know that I hadn't just died or something. But then the subsequent posts on this thread, and certainly some of the PMs I got (they send email notification) including at least one invitation to shooting if I'm ever in the Uk convinced me that perhaps I'm among friends. And that's a hell of an incentive not to go. So just ignore this thread..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Had no idea you were in Saudi Retsdon. Do you ever go watch hakwk hunting or running salukis ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the sports of kings here. I had an adult student once from outside the Uni (when I used to do external programs as overtime) who kept salukis, but he's the only one since I've been here - and he never invited me to go and watch them in action. But perhaps they didn't do much. I think there's a pretty big fakey, show scenario here too. But we do have packs of genuine wild running dogs that look like salukis that occasionally turn up and sweep through the campus - not quite sure how they get in but they do. They just absolutely love the cats (of which we've far too many). And in return I'm pretty fond of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I often think I'm the only one shooting and posting, with some exceptions. There is nothing new in fishing or shooting we just recycle ideas and memories . I don't care if you have not been shooting in the past few years you have a thing called " Fieldcraft" that is not available on the internet except through this and other forums because of the members involved and knowledge. JDog has educated me in horticulture and grammar , Ditchman in various wines and Marshman in the way of the Fens. I will continue to post while I shoot and will still be a member when I stop. All I ask is report your outings as ten pigeons in bad conditions is just as good as a hundred on the stubbles , please keep imputing and don't be afraid of the Grammer and Spelling Police. Conversation is a wonderful tool use it. rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to fish at international competitive level, but then stopped fishing completely in 98. In 2017 I went fishing again - i went to stay for a couple of weeks with my old fishing partner (who in between times had captained a national fly-fishing team) - and at times I felt like a novice!

Retsdon Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I have to go to bed now. But I just wanted to say to all the boys who posted on this thread - thank you. Stuck here in the middle of nowhere and away from my family, this little community has become a bit special for me. I always thought i was just tolerated, but judging by some of the posts on here after I thought I should leave, I feel I really belong. And that's great. Thanks for accepting me.
