Channel 4 at 8:30 (he said knowing full well that he missed it last night _again_)

 

I love that episode when he does the lamping. It's what got me started on the whole "Shoot it, gut it, cook it" thing I have now.

 

I just wish that I had that sort of land to shoot on and an FAC so I could go after deer on it!

Wookie, you'd hate stalking. All that excitement, tension and adrenalin!!! :blink: ;)

 

Cheers

And those ball achingly cold mornings before the sun comes up and crawlling though a days worth of rained on mud and the occasional rambler (Right to roam you know, show 'em a .30-06. Tell them that an inexperienced stalker could confuse their ginger dog to be a fox at 200yrds) :P

 

No, stalking is wonderful. All those things above make the kill so much more worth while :thumbs:

I tell ye, when I grow up (ok, so I'm 30 now and it still hasn't happened) I'm going to treat myself to a weekend of stalking somewhere up in Scotland.

 

I've always fancied trying it just the once. It's the fact that nothing is certain about it, you have to use a lot of skill and it takes a long time to get the perfect shot off that appeals. 100% challenge.

 

Besides, now I'm getting a divorce, the chances of me getting in on the Moose cull in Finland are down to 0%!

 

Dammit...

Well, the more I see of Hugh's latest TV programme, the more I think he has sold out to commercial gain.

 

In the previous episodes before Beyond River Cottage, easily half of the programme was devoted to country pursuits or gathering natures bounty. This aspect of them I found very interesting. Now they hardly feature at all.

 

Plus, if anyone saw the last episode, his techniques of knife handling leave a lot to be desired. When he was cutting the dross off his beeswax, I was cringing when he was drawing the blade towards his other hand. :thumbs:
