Several facts on that list point to a massive increase in the human population, which at the end of the day , is the main reason for all these problems anyways.So, in a few years we'll be back to square one. bah humbug

thanks, have had them set in a little wood, it's one of those places that no one ever goes in, its ancient and Makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, and strangely has a little colony of rabbits right in the middle, I had rabbits,badgers,squirrels and a little group of red wings, surprisingly no deer as they are normally a dead cert, last time I set in this wood I had one nosing the camera. It's quite addictive really I look at it now like hunting but for photos, my best spot is a plank that crosses a stream all buried in a big thick hedge, it's like a main road some nights with badgers and fox,s

the side you can't see is quite smooth and it fits the hand quite comfortably with the bobbly bits on, I made it for skinning so I must be on the right lines, I might try scales or even a metal handle on my mk two version, I have another file in the fire as we speak, thanks for all the kind words I was quite chuffed my self

Though I,m past the fifty mark, I get well bored sitting around doing nothing for more than a day or two, so though it's freezing out, yesterday I went out for a six mile walk with the dogs to pick up my trail cams that have been out all over Christmas I,ve also been having a little look at some knife making video,s on YouTube and decided to give it a go, I had a load of old files in my shed so chucked a couple in the woodburner and left them for a few days and today I,ve been in my man cave with the heater roaring and made my first ever knife it's made from an old file a two pound coin and a

I had a whippet cross back in the 80s that would catch squirrels quite regularly by taking a running jump at the trunk, she had a broken tail that had a right angle bend in it were she fell from quite a long way up and landed on her ass, I also had a little Black and Tan terrier that would come to work with me and go straight up the ladder and spend all day either on the top deck of the scaffold or even curled up on the roof, he was much better at going up than getting down but he would manage if I walked off, but I normally put him over my shoulder on the way down

998 of them just phoned because they never got what they wanted though In a perfect world you'd be right but in this world you're sadly wrong.sorry mate obviously something dear to you just having a little joke

Well, I can't speak for all Americans. But for myself, I understand the world we live in and the dynamics of what goes on in it. It's true, I'm not doing anything to be ashamed of and all of my professional activities are already a matter of public record. But the government collecting metadata and all the rest doesn't bother me in the least. If you doubt the reality of 9-11. 343 of my brothers lost their lives that day. Is that real enough for you? feck me how big was your house

Hare Coursing The £30000 Question?
Greyman replied to THE STIFFMEISTER's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
many moons ago a friend of mine had a dog that I would consider the best hare catcher I have ever seen, it was,nt really coursing as he usually nailed them before much twisting and turning took place, after a year or so he managed to join a proper coursing club down in brean, to test it against proper dogs under proper rules, the outcome was the same it would leave whatever other dog was in the slip with it for dust and usually had the hair before it turned many times he scored very low in the coursing rules as there were not many turns but the other dog never scored anything, it went on to wi -
what is me putting it on here or him him argee with you there. If I knew where he lived exactly he would be getting a knock on the door the f***ing prick sympathy there mate,hurts more cause it's your kid being robbed, have had the excact same thing happen to my daughter, and even though she's 30 next year she's still my girl, hope you get what should be yours and the guy gets what's coming to him, should say it's not the same bloke by the way

this is my standard reply, go on the proshot website and get yourself a bloodshot, they are £25, can be fired left or right handed, shoot ott or ttf and will take bands or tubes, give it a go for a while until you find what suites you, then if all your fingers are intact and your enthusiasm still strong buy something a bit more special, also please read the thread about gamekeeperjohn and avoid having anything to do with him, his ply cut outs are shit and his metal forks are made by proshot, but they can only be banded up and fired one way, also take a look at catapult carnage on youtube he d

Warning About Gamekeeper John,fat Scammer
Greyman replied to Greyman's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
my daughter is recovering the money through pay pal if she does,nt I will give it her myself, it's now about someone attempting to rob your kid, he is deleting and blocking everything she has sent him and all the things she has put up on his Facebook site,my boys want to jump in the van and head north so he can explain to there face, but I am older and wiser and know that the outcome will be bad, its like someone on Jeremy Kyle trying to have you over almost funny if it did not involve my daughter, best of all some of his summer shoots are right near my house oh what fun -
On the 13th November my daughter sent off to to this donut for one of his plywood cutout cattys as a stocking filler for her dear old dad, she also told him it was for a chrimbo present and asked if it would be done in time, he emailed back assuring her it would be here in plenty of time, the weeks went by and still no delivery, despite several emails back and forth always reassuring her it would be here in time for Christmas. In mid December he decided to stop replying to her emails and deleted any of her Facebook posts, regardless of having taken her money and ruined a little gift that she h

I like the scout it's a good design for a first catty, but I think the proshot bloodshot is a better deal, main reason, it's metal were as the scout is plastic and one or two fork hits seem to break the clips your bands go in, the bloodshot is ambidextrous takes flats or tubes can be fired in any style, costs £25 and usually arrives within 24 hrs as its English, if you type proshot bloodshot into YouTube catapult carnage has a good demo video on there of it

At the start of the season game dealers were paying £1.00 a brace, one of the shoots I go to they're paying 27 pence a brace (yesterday) and many shoots are getting nothing for them with the game dealers offering to pick them up for free.a guy I know runs a big shoot on the Cotswolds and most of the birds get buried after the shoot if the beaters don't want them, I can remember the days I got a £1.00 a trout, nowadays I give them away, a 1000 birds would cost the estate that lost them much money but the person that took them would earn more working in McDonald's Yeh true you wouldn't get much

i don't even do that mate, I'm just taking my dogs for a walk, in the countryside, and at the moment that's still legal, it's also not illegal to occasionally get lost and walk for miles across private land in an attempt to get back to the public footpath you were trying to follow, I,m quite a solitary person and very rarely take anyone out with me which I think is one of the biggest problems with poachers, they tend to work in groups of two or more, which makes landowners more likely to phone the police than just come over and tell you to feck off, I got in much more trouble pre ban going out

the trouble is saying it is easier than doing it, your obviously a caring person that's had the piss taken out of you over something that's still a little raw, but when your blood pressure returns to normal, you will be back to the caring person you are and hopefully carma will bring you something to return your faith in mankind,

Jack Pyke Catapult/ Starship Conversion
Greyman replied to Kal's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Nice one dude, if you look up a guy called blue skeen, he is an American slingshot legend, and uses a catty very simular, they call it a longtom, he was winning everything with it many moons before starships were fashionable, have you tried it with tbg on, I get a seven foot draw on my starship, and with 30mm tbg, and 12mm lead ammo, it's like hitting birds with a gun plus it puts less stress on your joints -
Part of my weekly wanderings take me across a lot of acres of marshy wetland, I don't know if it's the amount of fertiliser that gets washed out or the fact there is a landfill in the middle of it that leaches out all sorts of funny coloured liquids when it rains, but at certain times of year my dogs seem to get very sore underneath leading to scratching and nibbling and the odd bold patch, as it comes and goes, but is a regular occurrence, going back and forward to the vet to try this and try that gets a bit expensive, now when it flairs up I give them a good dusting in athletes foot powder,
