Barrelsniffer Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 While working in afghan at mo i am doing CP work for the brit government...anyway we have 2 British VETS out here who have been out here for a wee while to train the afghan farmers and there animal vets. They have both been in the south helmand province for the past week so we were detailed to mind them and drive them to various locations in our area. I got chatting to them and turned out they both like a spot of shooting aswell..one of them aswell as being a trained vet also has his own farm/and when i said i do like to get out and about after the fox and rabbit/vermin. He then offered me permission to shoot his land which is near breacon beacon..600 acres,bit of a fair drive,but deffo worth the drive to stay over the night and get out for the fox. So a happy day for me...surprising what you can get in afghan...lol bet you all thought afghani farmer Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
