November 3rd - St Hubert Day

[375win]

Born into nobility in the 7th-century, St Hubert was a devoted hunter whose life took a spiritual turn - he later became Bishop of Liège and is now honoured as the patron saint of hunters.

St Hubert’s story isn’t just legend - it’s a reminder. A hunter who found deeper purpose in the wild, he came to represent something bigger than the chase: respect, humility, and stewardship.

Today, his legacy challenges us to think beyond the shot. Ethical hunting isn’t just about skill or regulation - it’s about conscience. It’s about managing deer and other wildlife with care, ensuring balance, and passing on traditions that honour both nature and community.

The stag with the cross still speaks. It asks us to hunt with honour, to lead with principle, and to remember that the wild is not just our playground - it’s our responsibility.

Waidmannsheil and Happy St Hubert Day to all.

So that explains so much, if indeed the 3rd of November is St Hubert's Day.

I often wondered why I am so naturally gifted as a hunter and fisherman. It matters not what type of firearm, fishing rod or dog I choose, I always find it so easy...

My birthday chaps

That was in the days of the good guys Chris.
When the Polish, Hungarian and Chezckoslovacians together with the best of British were in it and it meant something. Pre 1980.

Pre 1980?
You're a decade adrift there, according to the date on your certificate

Who said it was my cert Tim?
The best guys were in it pre 1980 when I joined. I was replying to CJM's statement that " it was along time ago" in reply to my post that it used to be an excellent club.

The club has always had "characters" Ratel was one until recently.

Today's a day to honour the legacy.

I gave up the ghost with it 10 years ago CJ, character or not.
I will honour the legacy of the good men like Adam L, George S, David C-S, DMT, and many more who have left this world.
