The anti hunting lobby in the UK is unbelievably strong. About 12 years ago when I was living there, I had a visit from a cop from Special Branch who told me I'd been targeted by a bunch of antis...... for the next year or so, my phones were tapped, my post was diverted to check for letter bombs and I had to look under my car, my wife's and my (step)son's car to check for letter bombs before they were driven....... There have been instances of similar groups kidnapping hunters and branding them before releasing them....Consequently I have no time for the bastards and if they don't like what I do, I'll try to explain once at the very most. - After that, they can bugger off and go and annoy someone else..

Trying to explain the urge we feel to hunt to a non hunter is like trying to explain colour to a blind man.....

Other than that, I'm quite easy going about the whole thing.
