Thread: reality check.

Just been talking with my brother at the funeral of a family friend.
he like me was a keen duck shooter as was his oldest son.

asked his plans for this year -no theyre non starters as both didnt like the antics of thosethey shot with -pissing up large in the maimai ,arguments and and last year an all out brawl.
what really kicked me in the nuts was the young fella had a very keen mate,who also upon hearing this decided hed find other pursuits.
im not putting this up from a righteous "im without sin ,im always impeccably behaved "cause thats a load of tosh -ive had my moments.
What does worry me though is the fact this behaviour seems at face value to be regarded in some quarters as par for the course ,and by that standard we are conceeding ground to both anti hunting factions ,but also the police who use this to lobby for more Firearm laws,why shouldnt they its tantamount to rolling over and confessing all your crimes before the cuffs hit ya wrists.
whats your opinion.
Im just interested -im not here to judge or place anyone in that role.
