Lit a fire at my yard yesterday and after a few minutes these little critters ran out squealing. Obviously their mother had made her nest under my pile of scrap wood. Now all my life I have been a keen shooter,pigeons,fox,pheasants and rabbits etc, but something just said ive got to do what I can for these young uns. they seem to young to just let go and hope the mother finds them (plenty of foxes and dogs around) so hopefully im going to get them up to health and let them go in a couple of weeks , being careful to keep them as wild as possible. Before anyone replies, I already know im a soft sap!

I think some shooting people change how they feel about stuff like that as they get older, I know I certainly have, and a few people I know have as well.

 

This is very true , when I was in my teens I would shoot anything that moved with my old webley, now I appreciate birds etc. I still shoot vermin and pheasants/partridges, but just cant bring myself to kill the young. It is as said an age thing:thumbup1:

Me too. I appreciate wildlife a lot more these days.

 

I don't think what you have done is being particularly soft.

Just shows you have a bit of heart.

Nice one (though they do stew well), had this friendly fellow following me (in a school of all places) today, felt a little guilty going home to roast lamb! Of all of them, he never left my side, bit odd really :confused:
