If you couldn’t shoot what on Earth would you do. I like shooting and rugby and cricket and many other things but if I had to give one of them up it would leave a gap but wouldn’t be the end of the Earth.

My other interests of family, friends, agriculture, forestry, gardening, countryside, travelling, ornithology, fishing, travel and many others pale into insignificance compared to my interest in shooting.

I meant, if you shoot as a way of life then the prospect of decanting to sunnier climbs holds no allure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man very much after my own heart (except not having the money or time for travel!) I keeper my own shoot so from drilling covers in May until Feb 1st it really is a way of life, with beating on a few other shoots and working my dogs. Luckily my wife and kids also enjoy the lifestyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
