DG's Hunter Class

[Wookie]

Just cos a guy accidentally turns on the brightest torch known to man inside a land rover when everyone is getting there’s eyes adjusted to the night, sets fire to a skillet and then turns all the food black and almost throws up while plucking a pheasant and then goes on to play with the severed feet for far too long, does not mean that he should automatically be referred to as mayhem - No Mark you keep that name I am happy with Wookie

And the sad thing is it's all true ):

Hi

Well, there's not a lot more I can add that other people haven't already said! Massive thanks to all involved, I'm really looking forward to the time I see you guys again - not just because there's still so much to learn from you!

Just and I are currently drying out a number of hare and a rabbit skin, possibly to be made into a gimp mask for Wookie. I'll let you know how we get on.

Take it easy you crazy kids!

Dan

Well it was a fabulous weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, as everyone seemed to. Definetly one of the best courses I have ever attended.
A big thanks to all involved, Rob and Mel for re-awakening my interset in archery. Field archery certainly is a different shooting match to standing in a line plinkin at big round targets. We had a right laugh castrating the bear ! ):
Buckshot Mark, was an absolute star. Providing most of the food for the weekend, and taking numerous hunting parties out at dawn and dusk. It really bought home what meat eating means. He also found time to help set up my airrifle ! and improve my shooting technique, so I am over the moon ): Nice one Mark.
Dave and Feathers did a fantastic job of putting it all and holding it all together ! Not many schools could manage an event such as this, and run it so smoothly and efficiently, with no stress or strict schedule. :You_Rock_

It was great to meet the rest of you Outdoor Girl & Boy (thanks for the excellent hare !) , Wookie and crew, Mark, Rik, GreenPete and of course Ed, Stu and Chris C.
I'm glad us BCUK lot made a good impression, So welcome to the forum all you new guys :super:
I'll put some photo's up very soon. The more gruesome ones will of course be
in the Fare game forum so as not to upset anyone
Cheers for now
Rich

Well Dan
I'm sure Wookie has a large number of those specialized masks after his revelations around the fire he has properly got the pattern to make them too.

 

[Dan]

Ha ha! This is true Mark!

Its not just the masks he has either! I've only seen a slight glimpse of his assorted accoutrements and an assortment of masks is but a small part! :shock:

My years of knowing young Wookston has learnt me not to ask too many questions and NEVER be surprised...

Still, if this blinkin' rain doesn't stop soon the hare skins will never dry out!

 

[Ed]

You should have had a word with feathers..... he was tanning skins a couple of months back I believe.... I'm sure he would be able to give you some tips....
And please guys, keep it clean..... this is a family forum remember :biggthump

[Rob]

For those of you who went on the course, who would like any further information or advice about the bow and arrowing, just give me a shout. Especially if you decide to buy any equipment.

It is difficult to give enough attention to everyone in a large group. But I am sure that we will get the opportunity another time.

Hi everyone.

Finally made it on to the forum :wave:

I agree. A great weekend all round: lots to learn, new people to meet (especially the canterbury mob) and old friends to catch up with while having lots of fun in a beautiful place.

Many thanks to everyone involved, participants and instructors alike for sharing so much, especially rob and mel for their evening arrow surgery and buckshot for glorious food and stalking experience. Big thanks to DG and Feathers for creating the course and bringing it all together. Can't wait to see you all again soon or the 5 day version next year...

Easy now

[Greenpete]

Hi Brett!
It was good to see you too, though we didn't seem to get much time to chat!
I think like all that were there I thought it was a great do. Not just the course it self which I didn't really participate in, but the general air of friendship with all.
I hear you have a new bow!? I'd of like to take a look if I'd have known!
Stay well, Pete

Where was this class and who organised it? What did it cover?

It sounds well worth attending if it is held again.

Have a lok at http://www.wildernessliving.co.uk/
Dave and Feathers run the courses there - top people. :You_Rock_
I think they only do this course once a year so probably around the same time next year. Although any of the courses they run are worth going on.

Be there or....

Cheers
