Another cat kill report in St. Albans it's on the Mail on line site if anyone wants to have a look or put a link up, also I,d like to apologise to socks, seems his integrity is now beig brought under scrutiny for agreeing to veiw the footage,

It's a bit of a shame really, that we don't make a bit more of it, the paddys get drunk for a fortnight on st Patrick's day most Brits could nt tell you the date of st George's day, have a good one what ever your doing

saw them on the telly the other day, bigger than a golden eagle and making a comeback, thing is with birds they don't always stay were they are put and travelling in a straight line covers a lot of miles quickly, we had a bearded vulture near me for about a fortnight last year, and the genaneral view was he had come from a project in Europe, you might also get some clues by looking on bird watching sites they can't wait to shout everytime they find something out of the ordinary, but I would advise you not to put the location on any of them if you don't want hundreds of them in your field

Exactly, if it's a black cat then it's either a Leopard or a Jaguar. Both can roar so you tell me.......It's not black. He stated that earlier in the thread mate.Stop being racist. I haven't taken much notice of his posts tbh, so he thinks it's a Puma? really so your not taking much notice of my posts but your still here trying to discredit me 18 pages in I,d hate to see what you would be like if you did take much notice No I'm not tbh because you're not showing any evidence whatsoever that can convince me. so when you said at the start that's the most convincing picture you have ever seen,

one of the clues that drew me to this area were several cottages in the woods reported what they said sounded like a woman screaming behind there house back in the woods, so I have to assume that is what was heard though some cats don't scream, it's little things like that that I have been adding up ,it was a tiny column in a local rag two years ago that most people look at then forget, but I log them down and over the years they have helped build a bigger and better picture, another house in the woods found a large paw print in the snow a few years ago outside there house, they have two malim

How many birds do you see on a daily basis yet imo you hardly see a dead bird lying aroundExactlyThe reason you don't see dead birds laying around is because predators eat them ... now I should imagine a secretive creature such as a big cat is going to find the quietest most secluded area when it's that I'll it's going to die so not much chance of seeing a body ... added to the fact the hundreds of thousands of foxes and badgers and rats that will be queuing up to strip it bare it's no surprise we don't find corpses .........I hope your going to be truly honest when you see this photo....Woul

yes mate I,m looking toward the autumn time now before I go at it again so I,ve been looking at some electric type distress callers that flap a dummy round and the liquid scent gland attractors

We have those sirens in avonmouth near me as the place is a toxic shit pit, but the tests are done at the same time every month IE at 3pm on the 3rd of every month, people unfamiliar with it normally go into a bit of a panic when they first here it, so if I were you I would take note of the time and date otherwise you could be like one of those Chinese dudes that come out the jungle with there hands up forty years after the wars over

I had that book from a book club 25 years ago, it does make you think. Especially as photoshopping had not been invented then. Do you remember the photo of a cat on a hill side by a dead tree, and when the measured the height of the branch it was as tall as it was over 3ft. That is one photo that has stayed in my mind. TC Yes I remember it well. There was another picture of a tabby looking thing leaning on its back legs against an old cupboard and they recreated the picture with a domestic cat and it was not even half the size. That is the picture that I really can't explain it is not o

Dont Want To Start One Of These Hate Things
Greyman replied to barrywhite's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
I think by the time you work out the answer to your question, the rabbit or pigeon would of fecked off, I really like the starship catty,s but you can't hide them and if you sling them in the hedge the person your trying to hide it from just picks it up so really for me a catty is a small discreet fork and elastic set up that I can just throw in the hedge rather than try and work out the legal arguments with the local Bobby and not some of these laser sighted multi elasticated rifle type things the Chinese seem to be into, just get a rifle and a catty covered all angles -
I,ve stumbled on a few of them in my time even had the invite to join in one night when I was out lamping with my boy and another time I flicked my lamp on in a carpark in the woods and caught an old fat fecker in a mack tugging one off over the bonnet of a car when a young couple were at it inside, it kicked right off but I was on the floor laughing to much to do anything as the fat bloke ran off with his cacs round his anckle s and the young bloke chased him down the hill trying to pull his on

being a bit nuts is probably a good thing when your looking for a needle in a haystack

just pm,d him he's a bit of a way but I will make the effort to go up when we both have a spare day hopefully within the next couple of weeks, you must have seen something or heard a few tales as you move around in simular areas to me mate and if you spent time near woodchester it's almost a local mascot up there the five valleys beast, I,ve probably seen more footage from around that area than anywere else, though the Forest of Dean is pretty rich for sightings but were the feck would you start looking in there cheers
-
Know worry,s people I probably make way to many anyway, if in 44 years time Albie is making a catty to get someone started I would have achieved something, good luck and don't forget when your bigger we want a photo of your first dinner by catty cheers Albie enjoy

Yes these do seem to be fact. So is it so unbelievable others remain at large? I actually believe that if someone was willing to pay me for my time I could catch a live one but it would take all of your time releasing fox,s and badgers from your traps so it would have to be a full time job, also there is a big issue with smell, I rub horse shit in my hands and shoes when I go to my cameras, but it still takes a while for normal wildlife to accept it, the infa red illuminater is meant to be invisible to animals but I have seen to many animals react to them to believe that, I,ve had two cameras
-
know mate I,m not but I have met him and have to admire the amount of shit he,s willing to take by speaking to local radio stations and news papers, the guy has spent more years than some have been alive searching the country, for much of that time he was handicapped by the gear he was using like trail cameras with 35mm film and a trigger time that allows most animals to pass by before the picture is taken except sloths the advance in technology will be the undoing of this mystery and as I said a few pages ago, I think as thermal imagine equipment comes down in price we will all get to see one

if you would like a peek and be the thl adjudicator I would be quite happy to meet up with you I collect scrap metal for part of my living so a trip to Wiltshire won't be a problem I also go fishing from time to time near the Caine hill flight on the k and A if your near there, if you would rather contact me through pm so as not to give your location away please feel free cheers

if you take the photo that started all this as a report IE the woman never went to the paper but contacted a group, they would enhance the photos as best as possible and take measurements between the ears ,along the back ,floor to shoulder etc then they would accertane were the photo was taken from and stick a cardboard cut out in its place and take more photo,s which will be overlaid on the original but then all you can do is give it a percentage of probability as there are no hard and fast rules, I usually try and put my cameras near a fence line or some other solid object for size compariso

wow I,ve done a load to the scrap yard and a rubbish clearance this morning and it's still going, most of the black cats are melonistic leopards and yes a few deer up in the fork of a tree are found each year as are some killed and then buried which seems more of a puma trate, one of the best reports was from exmoor of a half eaten red deer up a tree, now that takes some shifting, wildlife parks often seem to get targeted as well have had a few reports of animals being killed and eaten inside there enclosure including a fully grown ostrich and a few have reported finding pug marks in the plant
-
the footage I have at present would be torn apart much like the photo that started all of this mate, but as I have spent several years in this woodland after a few sightings were reported following animal trails and getting reports from locals I have over three years narrowed down my search to a small gulley I thought they had been using to get from one side of the forest to the other and in early March I believe I got what I came for plus a little bit more, as the pictures were taken at night they are in black and white, I have sent them off to some local researchers that then enlarge the pic

It's an everyday occurrence Frank don't give me that..... but I have offered to show you the video in person why would I do that if I never had it, I just don't want it going online for the sake of my own piece and quiet and the protection of the creature in question, you say if you had proof you would whack it out everywhere, but how would you feel when some jumped up little trophy hunter turned up and killed it on the back of all your hard work and big mouth, I know what my reaction would be goodnight Showing someone a video doesn't tell them where it is though does it? Don't worry I don't
