  1. There is a woman who seems to be the main Bigfoot person in the uk called Debora something, it's the lack of space for a creature of that size which makes it a no go for me, last time we had the bf discussion there was a British kid parked in a convenient lay-by with nice trainers on claiming he saw a squash and has been looking for it for the last ten years in a woodland covering 11 square miles a cat has a territory of around 150 square miles and the most nomadic cat with a tracking collar on that I know of covers a territory of 400 square miles, large preditors need to keep on moving so as
  2. Should also say always fit a carbon monoxide detector in the room with the fire and any bedroom the chimney runs through
  3. Same as navek checker plate over the old fire 6" hole through and a foot of flue pipe straight up the chimney been running for years
  4. I,m assuming you meant Lynx, the biggest problem with the tree hugging types that seem involved in a lot of these projects is they are more interested in reintroduction than the environment they release them into, if there are enough prey species to keep an alpha preditor alive and well alls good, but when you release them to places that can't sustain them problems occur, many animals actually thrive because of each other, like the water Vole has benefited from the spread of otters and red squirrels seem to have a strong allie in the pine Martin, so maybe the Lynx may turn out to be an asset
  5. The same bloke that is involved in the Lynx reintroduction is also involved in a project to save them he has a few films on YouTube were he works with local farmers to sterilise the local feral cat populations, trouble with all cats is they can and do crossbreed with many different cat species, good news for the Scottish wildcat is its the same species that lives in many European country,s so we could bring in fresh blood if needed, goodluck with your camera trapping hope you get what your after
  6. Chef,s are one of the best tools to cull any species, the dodo big flightless and tasted good plus totally unafraid of people, the giant tortoise, could be kept alive for months with little space food or water, most of the more famous ones went in simular circumstances before the invention of the refrigerator, in our times it's the insect species that are more at risk because of our Careless uses of insecticides, only when we go back to living with nature instead of trying to control it will our future be secure but times not on our side the way we are going
  7. Just put the telly on and the film African queen 1951 is on channel 5, which is were it all started, allegedly, 70 years to go from exotic rarity to nuisance, pretty good going for an invader
  8. Another issue worth a look is band length, it's very normal to use a foot per side with the old square elastic were as flat bands usually perform better at around half that length, it's normally calculated by taking your draw length and divide by 6, just keep messing around until it all comes right
  9. Party,s at mine don't like the drunken walk home so play host
  10. Bag of frozen peas for as long as you can take followed by a hot water bottle, I have lots of back issues, don't like taking pills so I take rose hip syrup and do the hot/cold thing only thing I use from the chemist is the gel you put on the skin, to much painkiller abuse will just feck your kidneys and livers
  11. The last two people that have hit me should both have been off the road, one had altzimers and was totally confused and upset, the other one had some form of shaking going on like Parkinson's or simular, I was so concerned I called an ambulance as I thought he was having a stroke, but when I went to visit him a few days later to sort out insurance details he was still shaking about like he was in a dance competition, best of all after I,d helped him and his wife out and got them home safely then went to visit them a few days later as they were to shocked at the time, they then told the insuran
  12. I looked after one a few years back for someone when they went on holiday,did,nt realise how fecked they were until the girl came to collect him and started telling me off for over exercising it as I,d been taking it out on my normal 3to4 hour hikes with my terriers and lurcher, well he was doing alright after a while but she told me that due to the head on it and not being able to breath very well it usually collapses if it goes out for more than 15 minutes, she did,nt seem to take it very well when I said I,d rather have a dead dog than a dog that could,nt walk and the poor animal eventually
  13. Not as nice as the gear on your Barbie mate I'd has hazard a guess ,but people still pay for it in the vane hope it will cure 20 years of inactivity,
  14. If all of your hunting involves Wikipedia it's inevitable you will need gym membership also nice to get out and talk with real people once in a while, my problem is the complete opposite I can't sit still, I eat so much rubbish I should be diabetic and massive but I never put on a pound, I,m 55 now and weigh the same as I did at 21 infact I,m about to go to work for a few hours just because I,m bored, as me nan used to tell me there,s plenty of time to rest when they put the lid on your box, so cram in as much while you still can, gym,s tidy beards and French Bulldogs wtf has happened to men
  15. One of my lads is a bit of a beast and one of those people that will do anything for a dare, and he was told in the tattoo shop that the bottom of your foot was unbareable and if you could take the pain they would tattoo it for free, needless to say he,s the only person I no with the palm of his foot done, but it seems to grow out I guess as you loose layers of skin or something but it will be completely gone in a few more years I would think
  16. Very nice mate what band set up do you have on it ?
  17. As holly willabooby,s husband is the producer or some other form of big wig on the show she is more than happy and willing to play her part in the program, I think it's funny as feck always been a fan, when you try and identify a pervert it's not the bloke acting like a pervert it's the respectable pillar of the community you have more to fear, mr nice guy, everybody,s buddy he,s the one working kids like puppets
  18. Rather pay a £150for a second hand hw than a new bsa that's really just a badged up cheap Spanish rifle, just a personal thing I,m sure there are a few smk,s and hat sans that are quite useful for the money but bsa is not the Birmingham small arms company they once were and there guns don't deserve the price tag or give the quality they once did,
  19. £20 off turkeys in Costco by Christmas Eve bet there even cheaper now, but growing up in a waste not want not world I,ve had the main dinner the bubble dinner, next is the cold meat sandwhich,s followed by a few days of curry,s then if there really lucky I might get my soup making head on with a couple of loaves of homemade bread, what will normally happen is the wife will start binning bits when I go out as they will be sick of it before I waste anything, anything else the dogs will get a share of as well
  20. I don't know if you will find this easier but I just use a small bit of tubing, put it on the fork first lay your bands in place then roll the tubing over to hold it, I find my bands last much longer as well because tuck and wrap eventually cuts through here,s a pic it easier
  21. You obviously have a reasonable knowledge of air guns, so get an hw80 as bsa are now just a cheap Spanish gun a bit like sticking a Range Rover badge on a cheap rubbish ysangyong from India if you want a cheap foreign make buy one that's not hiding behind a decent badge as there are some ok ones out there for ok money, but they will never be an hw80
  22. The four smiling kids say it all mate, as I,ve said I open my house for a lot of lost soles some kids that have stayed with me now bring there kids, and over Christmas I had one young boy who sat under the table because he was having to go and spend a week with his estranged dad and one who was meant to be staying with his dad but he had better plans and bumped the young lad off to go on a jolly with mates, the pain on both there faces said more than any words could say, a hug and knowing your wanted is better than any amount of toys really cherish it mate because you can't buy it???
  23. Sadly not, had my reindeer one on over Christmas, but the rest are all just standard, I know the trend has past but I find them the best general dossing clothing you can get,
  24. New pair of walking boots and gators, waterproof seat covers for the van few bits for the survival bag, couple of pike lures for the lure box, new onesie plus the normal novelty items,smelly,s and underwear, as others have said a good day with people that matter, most importantly have just finished tidying the house, and prepping the cold meats and 12lb of bubble for the next wave that's about to begin Looking forward to a good crispy frost in the morning to put the new boots to the test and get a few good lung fulls of proper outdoors air inside me,
  25. He will return they always do unless they have a bad experience or meet Mackem, the hard part is keeping the camera running for the duration it takes him to comeback, I find the cameras start missing stuff once the battery,s drop below about 80percent as its on your property you can add a solar panel also at the mountain lion conference my friend attends in the states they had a small cat call that fitted to the trail cam and gave out a distress call at regular intervals, good luck be nice to see you get one
