Of course your video skills are top notch and always enjoyable but knowing what's in store for Mr. Target come October gives the whole exercise a bit of melancholy, as you rightly intended. There is a three stooges air to your hunters, kind of pathetic in their natty outfits.

I reckon there would be even fewer small woodlands and rough corners than there are now. Well maybe.<br /><br />Cheers Stewart MStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700532706919063658.post-5717233183663965772011-08-16T23:45:19.794+01:002011-08-16T23:45:19.794+01:00Great post Andrew, and I love the video.
