Now that the Game season has finished and estates are checking to see how they have done. What do you think 2001 will bring???
What I think, hmmmm...first I think that the new Governments aganda doesn't have "Stop all shooting" is not part of their agenda. I could be wrong, but I don't seem to have the conversations as I did a few years ago. So fingers crossed the government isn't going to close it down, maybe inflation, on some shoots, yes it will. Will there always be people wanting to go shooting...the answer is YES!
What will gun control look like? Will it change? Do you care if it does? Being from USA, where there is little if any gun control. I am in favor of some gun control, yes I know guns don@t kill people, people kill people. I think if you are a gun owner you do release some of your freedoms, let me explain. Lets say you own a .308 for deer, boar and South Africa, and you come across a dandy of a gun, let say a .30-06, the guns is something special, it was used by Teddy Roosevelt or something. I would have to sell my .308 then I could get the 30-.06. The police would say I needed to because I already posses a weapon that is used for deer, boar etc. So why would I want something similar...Maybe because I want to have it? It is an investment tool? Etc. Etc. Its getting harder and harder to have a couple of guns that can do the same job... Lets be hones, the people who own rifles etc. go deer hunting are not the chavs, that think they are 10 ft tall and bullet proof. These are in the whole very respectable people that love hunting.
So if I look into the crystal ball, I would think Driven hunting will increase in price, almost has to. I would see deer stalking staying about level. Fishing will stay about the same, as long as estate don@t try to squeeze the extra cash out of the fishermen. I will always say, I love the sport and everything thing in it.
so everyone, keep shooting, stalking and Fishing.....
