  1. congrats mate nice shooting sweet catty, it feels so good because it takes you back to your childhood, when everything was an adventure and did,nt cost an arm and leg, a forked stick, two foot of elastic and a boot tongue you could go on safari for six weeks during the summer hols, it's the purist form of hunting
  2. Went to the furniture shop with my wife the other day and managed to take a couple of pages from the leather sample book should keep me in pouches for a while some real nice squares of leather in there for free,
  3. Same as above mate, if it had a split in the middle of the fork I would bin it but they are just caused through drying, if you have just cut it you can season the wood by giving it two minutes in the microwave, I normally cut my forks much longer than needed, then when they are seasoned you can trim an inch off the ends and bin the bit that's cracked and finally you can just sand it to the shape and finish you want then use epoxy instead of varnish to seal it all and force it in the cracks, good luck and don't forget a picture when your finished
  4. If you don't mind doing your own bands and pouch,s pro shot catapults has always done a really good service, but if you want one all banded up and ready to use I,ve had good service from a company called stone-spear catapults, seems a decent type cheers
  5. since January I have been on a bit of a camera trap mission in an area I,ve walked over, shot over and lamped over for the last 30 years the pictures though not the best quality are absolutely eye opening, I have seen four polecats I never new were there,witnessed a badger fight and seen more fox,s and deer than I would have ever thought existed,plus a few surprises, it's really addictive and does make you realise how much we don't know about, even people that spend a lot of time outdoors, I think with the market now being flooded with cheap but well usable remote cameras from China we are all

  9. a bit like lymes disease and lung worm you mean, I pull ticks from my dogs on an almost weekly basis due to the amount of deer that live were I walk my dogs, my sister who,s dog gets walked round the local playing field twice dailly is treated every 3months to keep ticks at bay and protect it from lymes even though it's Never seen a deer or had a tick, fear not only keeps us in check it also keeps us spending money on shite we don't need
  10. I have a 42 year old landrover and if that puddle stopped it I,d set it on fire, modern 4x4s put to much emphasis on comfort, speed and mpg, I don't go fast but I go anywere (just not on the motorway)
  11. enjoy the solitude, learn to like your own company, as soon as you take someone else they tell someone else, who then tell there mate John but don't worry he,s sound he won't say anything, then he tells his brother who has a great bunch of mates but don't worry they won't say anything, and next time you arrive the farmer ain't, looking quite so friendly as some little pricks popped back and knicked his quad or drove across the fields and through his gates lamping rabbits, seen it happen loads of times both with the dogs and fishing spots, loose lips sink ships,
  12. Your just a prick, I feel sorry for any genuine Muslim, with Johnny know mates like you doing anything to try and join there gang, I have a few Muslim mates some I,ve known for over twenty years and in that time we have never even talked about it, I respect them and there views they respect mine and that's enough, you are a twat regardless of what faith or any other group your trying to join, if you want to make some real friends just stop being a bell end, I think there is a forum somewhere for fat twats sitting in mums spare room pretending to be something they are not, why not look it up, I
  13. Most of the white birds round here look like that on a Friday night, they must all be a bit thick to be fooled by a spray tan
  14. I learned a while ago that the long tailed tit use,s a lot of spiderwebs in the building of there nest due to the strength of the web and because it allows the nest to stretch and grow as the brood of chicks get bigger, an interesting bit of useless information I thought I would share
  15. Just a little update, my daughter has orderered a sd card reader that plugs into the iPad and allows you to upload pictures, so hopefully we should be up and running by the weekend,
  16. try your left hand and just pretend it's someone else
  17. i,m under pressure to do this mate so will get it sorted, it may take me a bit of time as I think I need a new laptop to make it happen, but once I do you will probably get fecked off as I have so many, I think I picked up around 50 pictures of roe in the last week or so along with countless fox, badger and squirrels plus one polecat and a bird having a piss behind the crash barrier on the motorway, before you get excited it was just her legs jumping over the crash barrier ,Excited lol.Looking forward to seeing your footage mate.id imagine it's got to be cut and edited etc. Especially the pol
  18. Alright mate if you look back I put some photos up of how I fit my pouch,s using a length of tube instead of the wrap and tuck method for the same reason now my flat bands break at the fork end before the pouch and last much longer, I also use 4.5 mm natural latex tube that I buy on eBay from China, depending on the size of the loop you make the performance is very simular to tbg and lasts much longer, I find a loop one third of the band length about right
  19. Who blamed the Police? We've all said so far it's the cheeky c**ts who pinched the stuff to begin with! The Polices job is to INVESTIGATE and TRY to solve crime. They couldn't even be arsed to come out and see if there are finger prints etc. Now you blame people for being annoyed that the Police aren't doing their jobs? I can't be to specific about this but I have recovered one or two stolen items by spending a day scanning Facebook, and YouTube I,m not a user of Facebook but used someone else's account and there help and believe it or not the local crims actually post video,s of thems

  21. sorry I have not read all the thread but in short yes, a friend of my wife is married to a detective and I remember a case some years ago were a young girl local to me went missing from a nightclub, her body was found dumped in a quarry a few weeks later, the guy that done it was eventually caught and convicted through DNA but I remember the said detective telling me how much trouble they had getting it because the body was not buried and the Badgers and foxes had consumed most of the evidence,
  22. reminds me of an old joke, what's the difference between your wages and your dick, ANSWER you don't have to ask your wife to blow your wages,
  23. Giving money via a text on telly is simply a way of clearing ones own conscience and feeding all those tosspot celebrities egos, if you are a caring person go and give an afternoon of your time to help in the local charity shop or pop round and cut your neighbours lawn if they are old or disabled, it's simple acts of kindness that count, all those country,s waving there dying babies around covered in shit and fly,s to prick your conscience are still managing to buy weapons and fund civil wars, when live aid first started I had friends working in Ethiopia and most of the aid sent was available
  24. Just about to rattle a few targets in the garden with my catty when luckily I noticed this, not that my shooting is so bad I would have hit it but the dumpy bag does take a smacking, so I packed away the catty gave what little bit of hair I have left a quick run over with the clippers and put the off cuts not out so she can finish off the nest
  25. its not just about signing a contract mate, I,m not married have never believed I need a man in a dress to give me permission to live with the woman I love, I,ve lived in sin for 33 years have three kids between 30/24, have lots of female friends, have had a few offers over the years, but simply believe that if I would,nt like it done to me why would I do it to someone I love, it's a simple moral code that works for me, I also see it as a great weakness in a person male/female, at my age I have loads of mates do the Thai deal, and they all have similarity,s, A) can't keep a relationship going
