Whilst I've started referring to my unsuccessful hunts as 'armed tramps' it does not diminish in the least the massive enjoyment I get from just being out there in the hills. The little plus on the side is that tramping is deemed to be healthy exercise by those who also watch our family budget, whereas an unsuccessful hunt rubs in the cost of gas and nothing in the freezer. I shall continue to enjoy my armed tramping (I feel naked without my rifle) and simply appreciate it all the more when next time I do happen upon a deer or pig!
