Brother TITO!!!!
Uncle Titz!
Got distracted, reading up on Yugoslav politics. So much new ammunition for our next hunting trip!
Im playing nice next year, the Russian mafia will be there too
You can show Enzo the fish retrieve method
im am still waiting on the dvd to come out on this method...
The book version was due for release early June but now I have to renegociate a price to get it printed and published due to abuse given to a certain drunk tweed wearing hobbit, man u guys are wankers.
You had your chance for a free demo on East beachQuote:

Great pics El B! Do you have more?
I have some very old photos of my great-great grandfather in Tokaanu with a bunch of pheasants and a pointer and a setter-like dog circa 1910 will copy them when I go to my olds
I can see UU's pointers sire in the last pic! :D Patches dad! last seen a month ago outside the Karikari shops.
And Tokerau Tekes' grandsire too in the first one. Devil dog
I like how in that first pic he has the devil dog on a piece of twine under his boot... devil dog
they are great Pics from the Turnbil library archive . The interesting thing is how people dressed in those days to do their chosen sport .Rifle shooting is another classic where you will see men turnout dressed with pride unlike what we have today as practical as it may be .
Love to see your gt gt grandads photos of birds and dog for sure !! I must look in the family history books and see if there are some of our family in the Ruakitori area or Gisborne area from 1800s
ElB in reality most of those people were wearing their normal clothes, in the same way that practically everyone is wearing a hat.
You can pretend that they were dressing up for the hunt but that isn't the case.
My Grandfather would have worn something similar when he was working on the farm in scotland, or poaching/tickling salmon and trout.
I dont think the attire has anything to do with hunting, more likely to be everyday clothing
Ok barefoot beat me to it
Bro , Hobbiton is in MatamataQuote:

yes that is right Barefoot -mostly woolen suits I think and some wore breks -much the same as what I wear except my coat is sleeveless .Pointer on another post mentioned he didnt think it was a part of NZ culture in the past hence a few pics to show clothes they wore .I choose to dress well for my sport and present it a little differently to others but thats just meQuote:

Traditions ,maybe one appreciates them more as one gets a little older ..doesnt one lolQuote:

In the eyes of who Brian?? In recent pics iv seen most are wearing jeans, shorts or fleece hunting pants. As for the tradition of the "hunt" , we dont have foxes so its not traditional at all.Quote:

ElB your earlier posts inferred that in the past people DID dress up for the occasion and that is what Pointer was saying was incorrect.
Well they don't wanna come down here then for a hunt. Jeans, fucking shit, polarfleece, fucking shit.
do you know they didnt by the photos ?not that it matters as my point was Tweed or "wool "clothes are our traditional wear and sensible at thatQuote:

Still a very active hunt club down here, hounds and all. They have a new hunt master coming from pomeland who must almost be here by now.
I'd hardly say wool clothes were a tradition, rather cotton and wool was availableQuote:
