Thread: Lessons Rifles Teach Us

My missus & me were talking about exactly this only a couple of weeks ago ,l a "lucky" in that my missus & daughters still love hunting & l am largely over "trophy" hunting now & l get just as much enjoyment now putting them or other onto a decent head . She has proven pretty good over the years at getting us hunting property access through other farmers wives she played tennis & socialized with.

In fact it was at the missus suggestion last night we had a early tea, a couple of hours kip & went spotlighting till 2am this morning , after she found we had run out of rabbit in the freezer after using the last bit in a Paella we had .

The reason we were spotlighting on the neighbor's farm was during the lockdown the farrier was running way behind & the neighbor tried riding a horse who was looking lame & it threw him & busted his hip & collar bone ,so he has decided to give up hunting & walking the hills & asked that l take over the rabbit & hare control on his farm , both his sons have no interest in hunting & he is tossing up what to do with his guns.

I also found out recently, as a complete surprise , that l was left 4 of a mates hunting rifles after he passed away in America & his son had no interest in hunting, it was a headache getting the transport etc organized.

With us my missus & our girls (who are now in their 20's) all still actively hunt & own their own guns so they will just have to sort out amongst themselves who gets what.
