    Hi all, Nick here. Just started getting into a bit of hunting over the last couple of years. Up until then I was a mad keen fly fisher. The same passion I used to have has left and I have been taking to the hunting, without the same success sadly!
    I was brought up with guns but up until recently have been more of a ‘shooter’ as opposed to a hunter. I’ve been putting in the time though and have been gradually getting onto animals. I’ve picked up a few pigs through perseverance and luck and on my last hunt located some deer however the wind was not in my favour. Hopefully next time!
