ello I live in bath now since a week and it's quite nice, except for not having found accomodation yet. anyway- the area looks very nice, at least from out of the train, i see a lot of rabbits,the occasional roe deer and this morning I saw about 15-20 pheasants. I would like to go hunting or do something huntign related here. so if someone could point into the right direction or take me with him it would be much appreciated. I have some years experience with hunting in germany, especially roedeer and boar but also decoying for pigeons and fox shooting. cheers

so I suppose, having a knife on me for, let's say cutting paper, cleaning fingertails, turning a screw, isn't exactly a legal purpose?

Hi being German and going to work in Bath for some months starting next week, I was wondering what laws concerning knifes are there? Explicitly these scenarios are what I am interested in: Pocketknife/swiss army in trouserpocket Pocketknife/swiss army in backpack hunting knife, 3-4inch blade in backpack I am used to having my knives on me, as a tool of course.. can I do that in England or will I want to leave knives at home?

a side-by-side manufactured in 1967 by simson/suhl in germany. mod. 35/70, caliber is 16/70 my crowbuster: remington 870 express 12/3"
-
that's not gonna happen I fear - military calibers are forbidden in france - at least for hunting. 308 as well as 30-06 or the good old 8x57.. all forbidden. I'm not sure about the 300 winmag though since it was a civil caliber before being adapted by the military. If I had to choose a caliber for hunting in france I'd probably go for the 7x64 or the 9,3x62 - depending on the area. if distance is to be gapped the 7x64, in forests the 9,3x62

if you want to go for a pump, go for a remington 870. the remmy is like THE working horse when it comes to shotguns. easy to fieldstrip and clean (if at all necessary), millions of spare- and tuning parts available and most importantly, it is a sturdy gun. when you hold a remington870 in your hands, you know what I mean. seriously, the mossberg is a piece of junk when compared to the remmy. you might also want to have a look the benelli nova and supernova. the comfortech stock is great. when it comes to the alone in the wild scenario,i.e. the your life depends on one gun only scena

vizsla are cowards. mate mine isent all viszlas I saw and heard of were cowards. great dogs for birdhunting, no doubt - that's what they were bred for. but when it comes to retrieving a fox that isn't dead yet, you might want to not send the viszla as he will most probably dance around and bark. they retrieve in 99% of the cases the game alive. maybe I got other standards than you, but I would want a dog, that is a bit tougher than a viszla. viszlas also are very sensitive, a loud word can undo 2 weeks of training.
-
vizsla are cowards. as for the aforementioned german wirehaired - good dog, without doubt, but when it comes to trainability, well... you gotta be consequent. and tough sometime. my recommendation, knowing only german breeds, would be: german spaniel aka deutscher wachtelhund. they are a bit calmer than kl. münsterländer and work a lot better on deer and boar. very good allrounder http://www.deutscherwachtelhund.org/What%2...Wachtelhund.htm

good shooting! here are two foxes shot with the .308 but a headshot can also go wrong easily. I shot one fox at about 200m with the 308 and did not shoot too well. anyway, the bullet went just through the ear - but luckily ripped open the fox's back.

If anyone is interested in what a German "Drückjagd" looks like, I just found a link to a film about the hunt in the "Saupark Springe," one of the estates of the Kings of Hanover. just click here: http://rapidshare.de/files/40344129/Die_Sauhatz.avi.html scroll down, click on "free" and wait until the count down is finished. Then yu have to type in the code, click "Download" and there you go..

what exactly do you want the dog to do? they are bred for working after the shot, i.e. trailing wounded game. I want a dog to track a wounded deer should the case arise. Thanks Jon then you can't actually find a better dog maybe the hanover hound, but as I said, they don't work on roedeer
-
the so called "schweisshunde", i.e. bavarian mountain hound and the hanover hound, are used solely for tracking down wounded animals, the bavarian for all deer and boar, the hanover only for boar, red- sika- and fallowdeer. most of these dogs are owned by foresters who have enough time on their hands. for flushing out deer or boar of the thick we use dogs that hunt loud and are rather small. the aim is to have a dog that just annoys the game so it leaves the hide slowly. breeds that are commonly used for that are the german hunt terrier and the german spaniel. but also other terrier breed

it is a good shotgun. but if you go for a camoversion, make sure to check the camo before buying. A friend of mine ordered one and the realtree max4 pattern did look a lot more like gaypride pattern

not only hedgehog and ground nesting birds but also hare, deer, and others where the little animals (excuse my terminology...) rather duck and hide than flee in their early days. a badger is like a vacuum cleaner and whatever he comes across he will eat - be it apples, snails, slugs, a fawn or carrion.
-
we have a quite a lot of badgers here on the 700hectare I hunt on. especially when the corn is in the milk-ripe, badgers start messing up whole corn fields - they roll against the caulis and break it down. so farmers are glad when a badger is shot. before eating them you have to have them checked for trichinae, same as before eating boar. badger isn't eaten that regularly as far as I know. Most people make a so called "dachsschinken" out of it, "dachs" is badger, "schinken" is ham or gammon(?). I heard they taste like german heath sheep...

will do, but it won't be finished before january
-
thank you I just skinned it roughly, leaving the head complete, so the taxidermist can prepare the pelt similar to the way lions or bears are set up.. something like this, just as a badger:
-
You shoots cats....? WTF!?!? sure thing I do. Why would I not shoot cats, when the aim is to reduce predators?
-
oh boy, how retarded are you?
-
and why is that, sir?
-
it sure is.
