I work and manage a place that a great many hunters have heard of, and some are envious of, but most are overwhelmed by. I also run a small company as well. I have two homes, one is Africa the other the highlands of Scotland.
I saw no sign of the Roe rut two weeks ago in Sussex, might nip down to my patch this weekend, seeing as I will not be going to the gamefair now its been called off

Hi all.
I have just clicked on to the post of `H` which is largely bunkum.
The club will be better off without his ilk with their self-acclaimed superiority mode.
According to the Club training manual probationary membership is for two years as stated by Pete E and not one year as stated by `H`.
Again the statement by `H` that the Club is a dying organisation is rubbish as many are on the waiting list to join.
We older members are probably fitter than `superior mode`himself and at 71 I was still dragging Reds off the mountain until I went in for open heart surgery and only then did I give it up. [Mountain hunting]
I still zap Roe and Munties though.
The issue with Cammo is to do with public perception and not snobbery, I use my Realtree Cammo whenever I feel like it.
The unfortunate incident at the Club cottage should never have taken place and as I said at the time anyone who could not count 5 rounds in and out of his rifle at the forest was not a fit person to be in charge of a rifle.
Some through the `Old pals act ` supported him. This was a grave mistake and he should have tendered his resignation to the Club immediately the incident occurred.
The Club was formed in 1953 and this is the first incident I have been aware of since my membership from 1966.
Irrespective of some of the uninformed and hostile posts this is a good Club with a fine record.

I have just read the posts on the discusion of the St Hubert Club, and quite honestly what a load of SHITE. "H"you seem to be very bitter towards the club , surley a man of your superior ability, being better than all of the members in the club, knowing that the man you were out with was vastly inferior to you, Surley it must have crossed your mind when YOU were shooting the roe buck at 50yds, YOU must have thought, YOU could not possibly have omitted to think with all that expert knowlege that YOU DIDN`T HAVE TO SHOOT IT!!! YOUR call, YOU pulled the trigger, end result YOUR fault. I`ve been a member of the St Hubert club for nearly 20yrs, I`ve made lots of good friends in that time, it`s a club with over 300 members from all walks of life and none of us claim to be perfect LEAST OF ALL ME. The 100mtr rule is there for a reason, a broadside chest shot @ 100mtrs max is thought to be as far as any trainee should be expected to shoot a roe deer, minimizing any driver error giving a larger area to place the bullet, along with stalking techniques getting close to the beast NOT sniping , best result drop on the spot , worst result beast runs off ..... exit hole with a blood trail to follow whats bad about that? There are a million and one things good about the St Hubert Club, there are a few things that could do with a spring clean, I`ve been an "A" Stalker 12yrs...... I wear cammo I belch ,and fart like other blokes , I like to think that on stalking weekends the lads that I take out get a good deal ie not just a walk round and shoot a deer, but to educate them more to ...what to look for...where to look..what to listen for... how to identify...wheather patterns...tell tale signs... different spour...etc..etc. I`ve learnt a lot in 20 years and if I can pass on and help others in the club then thats great, if there are others that know it all well thats ok too, I wouldn`t like to force my opinion on anybody. As for the Anal initiation ceromony, the only arse that gets any special attention to my knowing is that of the deer.
Oh and B T W the probation period for new members is 2yrs

Beowulf said:Rob Mac If you want to start a club, I will join! But we need some house rules:-
1. All members must be able to down a pint of snake bite in 30 seconds.
2. All members must like pork scratchings.
3. All members must get tearful when Ivor Emmanuel starts singing in Zulu.
4. All members must be able to enter their house, with a rifle without sniping at the lady in the bath next door.
We could call the club 'The Spotty ST Urbets Club', not to be confused with The Popular Peoples Front of Judea!
OK, so I agre in principle to most of the above, and since I'm 'banned' from the SCI London Chapter, without reason or the opportunity to ask why I would add! Anyway, since I'm a bit of an outcast myself, I think there's quite a few disenfranchised people out there that would be interested in a classless and transparent club, even if it was an informal one where we could get together either locally or nationally and have a few beers and tell tall tales, that sort of thing.
There's a question on the back of every entry card for the free prize draw of the UK Professional Hunter's Tour (details are online http://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4098 and at www.UKPHT.co.uk) which asks; Would you be interested in joining a UK-Specific Safari / Hunting Club - so maybe that's a way to start one off?
By the way, entry is free and it will be drawn at Malcolm's Museum, The Quex in Kent www.quex.co.uk and prizes include Plains and Big Game Safari's to Namibia and South Africa, a Weatherby Rifle in the calibre of your choice, a scope from Zeiss and prizes from Sauer too. Some of the venues are at ranges so bring your rifle, and many have a taste of Namibia too as there will be a Braai with Boerwurst, Sirloin Steak and sheep on a spit at several of the locations.
Cheers folks and thanks for an entertaining read!

My biggest reservation was that if we get involved in setting one up, chances are that I wouldn't be eligable too!

Beowulf: Tell us more about Freemasonry , I'd like to here your version of the biggest charity organisation in the world, Yes the world, open to everyone and anyone has no barring on race ,colour or religion .
You can get into Freemasonry easier than you can St Hubert club.
Don't knock it till you've tried it.

Freemasonry. Looks invitingly tastey from the outside, much like a Terrys Chocolate Orange. Until you tap it, unwrap it, and bite into a slice.

Turfer : I take it by you comments your another person, that knows nothing about free masonry .
But has made up your mind by thinking you do know, what its about ,Like many others I must add ,If its not your thing don't knock it .
As i said in one of the last posts masonry is the biggest charitable organization in the world ,which not only looks after its own members but all who ask for HELP both young and old .
A for instance a student wrote to a lodge asking for help to further his studies in the middle east he was given that help as a cash donation .
At Christmas all the local old age pensioners get free Xmas parcels of food to help them along the Erskine Hospital for sick and injured ex servicemen is very big on the list of donations by Scottish Masonic lodges the Beatson Oncology is also on the same list as are many other worthy causes .
This no matter what anyone says or what jibs they have about that is, what masonry is about, I myself have been on the receiving end of the benevolence as Ive had cancer twice, there were people that I had never seen in my life came and visited me ,from Grand lodge of Scotland from Provincial Grand lodge of Scotland and from local lodges thats more than i could say about some of my relations and friends .

WS,
I don't think anyone would argue that the masons do a lot of good for themselves and others but, they thrive on their own mysterious secrecy. They do not want people to know what they are up to when they wear their aprons. I am afraid this sort of attitude is what encourages the jokes and mickey taking.
Anyway, I like chocolate orange!!!

Maybe time to start another thread that covers this better! 
Personally, I'm interested in the St Huberts topic.
