Farmer Geddon

Met him once at a Game Conservancy rifle shoot at Santon Downham army range years ago, he turned up in a Morris pickup truck in ripped jeans & a checked shirt, he looked like something out of Deliverance, competition was hot, with the tweed clad Sandringham, Holkham & Sennowe park keepers. He wiped the board, was given a bottle of whiskey by the CO, & down it in one before roaring off in a cloud of dust. Last I heard he was going through a messy divorce, set fire to his farm & house, left his kids & wife penniless & homeless, & was last seen in the Fleshpots of Marrakesh ! A thoroughly despicable man. Bloody good shot though.

Was he shooting his .222?
Interesting character.
I got the impression he was going through tough times from his last few posts.
I hope he is doing ok 👍

I didn't want to get to close to him, he kept snarling at everybody, not sure what the gun was though, some rusty old thing with baler twine for a strap, festooned with crow feathers & gaffer tape. I was under the impression that he hadn't had a bath in ages.
 
I think so... he used to put a few pictures on here of his favourite fox shooting field/position... and somebody else has posted a remarkably similar picture once 😉
As @Tim.243 mentioned in an earlier thread, the style of someone's posts is like a fingerprint. It doesn't take long to spot the returnees.
Posting a picture that was previously posted under another name helps eliminate any lingering doubt.

I chatted to him a few times as he asked me for my number, he wanted advice on how to have a part repaired, his ground had a natural corridor for deer from what he said, small farm divorce aging mother was what he spoke about, had a few good chats which were fine. Met a few people like that over the years but did me no harm.
