It's a great trip and the island - and the monastery where you can take a tour - is a delight.<br />HHHubert Huberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648804733877209296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450870630688568148.post-9038743613003346932009-05-18T09:43:00.000+01:002009-05-18T09:43:00.000+01:00The internet isn't real life. Hunting is hunting....The internet isn't real life. Hunting is hunting. It isn't called "getting". I find your writing refreshing coming from a country where the elite have mostly oppressed the average folks in being able to hunt at all.<br /><br />You seem to be a good self-study and are doing well. If I were you, I shan't worry about what anybody said about my methods and you are consistently putting meat in the pot. Those were the standards I accepted as normal on 3 continents, why should that be odd on an island?<br /><br />Glad the sharper worked for you, I reckoned it would be easier than an internet post about proper use of wyoming stones.<br /><br />Happy Hunting--Always,<br />Tom<br /><br />Off to go do coyote patrol. May you have a fine day and some sunshine if truly lucky, friend is in Tenby and grumbling about going to the sea coast to be mired in rains.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450870630688568148.post-63359769311201692942009-05-18T09:01:00.000+01:002009-05-18T09:01:00.000+01:00I'm going to add a little, this morning, to what I...I'm going to add a little, this morning, to what I wrote here last night. I went hunting late on in the day yesterday and - what with the work in the kitchen after I got back - I found myself blogging at 1.00am and, rather than save as a draft and finish this morning, my relentless 'push-to-blog' made me hit the 'post' button before I fell asleep. <br /><br />Hi Tom, Yes, I'm often struck myself about the difference, the very great difference, between what happens when I go hunting and the rather idealised view of it you can pick up if you spend a lot of time reading net forums about hunting. My tendency, when I started, was to think that I was doing it all wrong and that the ideal version was the only version. But it's a tricky area though: ideals <I>are</I> a good thing to aim at - but the actual is very different to the ideal. <I>'How much can I tolerate being different from the ideal?'</I> is a question I find myself asking a lot. <br /><br />By the way - oh yes! - the now-sharp CRKT Mirage is a very handy implement in the field now! A world of difference.<br /><br />Hiya Albert, & Thanks! I always wiggle the photos around in photoshop a bit before I post them. It's a compulsion! (I think in a way - relating it to the above - it's about making them a bit less disturbingly 'actual'). I do like snapping and fiddling with photos though. I've got another blog where I tend to post my other non-hunting-related photos (http://constructedspace.blogspot.com/). <br /><br />Cheers folks!<br />HHHubert Huberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648804733877209296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3450870630688568148.post-88258661290158565622009-05-18T02:41:00.000+01:002009-05-18T02:41:00.000+01:00HH,

S...Thanks for proving my point vs some OBS people. Shooting in the real world isn't shooting at a range and ingenuity and practice are required for the real world, no matter how accurate your rifle is in a machine rest. You often will get muddy, dirty, wet, cold, and uncomfortable too. And you got to dice things up with a sharp knife, too, I'd wager!<br /><br />Chin Chin,<br />Tom the Curmudgeontomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.com
