Sad, Sad, News

For all you members that have been around for a while,,,,,,,,,,

Grandad sadly passed away, yesterday (May 3rd 2022)
A sudden and unexpected event.

A man that many members myself included, respected and admired for his sense of humor and vast knowledge in the hunting field.
He will be sadly missed.

Good on ya Les.

RIP Mate.

That is sad. He was a good bloke. I bought a bit of his jerky it was good stuff. His work on the feral dogs will be missed by the farmers.

I spoke to Les a couple of times. Seemed a good bloke. Very sorry to hear of his passing.
A lot of dog hunting knowledge lost I suspect.

He volantarily removed himself from the forums for a while and then just stayed on the periphery. He was a gun that would always send you a tip or a helpful hint if he could.

I’m very sorry to hear of Grandadbushy’s passing. I only ever spoke to him through this forum, but he seemed like a top fella. I saw things the same as him on a lot of issues. And from what I recall, he was always polite, even when dealing with some on this forum that were trolling.
The world’s a lesser place with his passing.
RIP grandad
