You are dead right chris and rushy I remember as a kid that the neighbours all knew each other, new people that moved into the street would go around and introduce themselves, even the farmers all used to know each other well and help each other out with the hay and silage but where has all that gone now these days it is all about secrecy, snobbery and selfishness the days are gone where people knew and respected each other and also helped each other out and those that want to learn or get experienced are brushed aside in favour of the experienced because in this day and age no one seems to have the time of day for newbies ( I speak from a job seekers point of view on this part) and yet people forget that they were once taught and given a chance to get to where they are now.

I remember this old feller that used to live up in the back blocks of papamoa he used to come in to the old mans service station weekly and drop off feeds of smoked fish to him you don't see that sort of thing happening these days.

it is just a shame my time with my old man was cut short before he could teach me the ins and outs of hunting in the bush as he was waiting till I was old enough to handle his 303, which is probably one reason I rarely go out in the bush because I do not know what the hell I am doing when it comes to looking for deer as no one has taught me or shown me so pretty much have forgotten about the idea of deer hunting now and starting to rekindle my passion for fishing in a big way.
