Just caught up with this, Stab that was a cracker, changing the subject a bit boys, but has anyone else paid for a copy of RABBIT CONTROL by Jackie Drakeford and then spent the next three years wondering why the f**k did I do that? Still I doubt you lads will enjoy it, theres no drawings, plenty of crap photos though. Seriously, do not buy this book.

Wassup? Well, it's not a Collared Dove, is it? Hasn't got black wing tips. Looks to me like a Jay. Have I made some glaring boo boo which I still haven't twigged then? Maybe it's too much ??? Now, come on; Where's AC? I want to know now! No offense mate, you just crack me up, everytime i read one of your posts i end up laughing, you have a great way of writing, re: ACORNS, ACORNS, F*CKIN ACORNS. Think you could have been an author, or comedian if you wer'nt such a good trapper, (mink excluded of course). -

I don't think this programme did us any favours, imo it will have made more go vegetarian than the other way round. I saw a lot of things that were downright dangerous and hypocritical, eg, wrestling calves to the floor with a loaded firearm in your hand, not putting a headcollar on that horse before he shot it, the plonker at the end ripping out wing feathers, some of those birds will be a long while before they are able to fly, not having a good race and loading platform for those cattle, kicking the leg of the bullock while squeezing the door on it at the same time, then we saw his house, h

if you google Wyoming Outdoors, it should take you to the website, click on "gallery of odd". There is a sequence of photos of a mule killing a mountain lion, it's unbeleavable! I only stumbled on this site because I lived and worked in Wyoming for a while. Put it on the fishing site because apparently thats what this guy was doing when he had his little accident. Broken hip, leg, ribs "internal" injuries. www.wyomingoutdoorsradio.com/

this guy was apparantly fishing in a speed boat when he lost control on a bend, he survived.

i had a .204, it was shit hot, and i got over the 4000 ft mark, but only with the 32 gr bullet, BUT it was not as accurate as my .243 is with handloads, and you can only shoot one gun at a time, ( ok, i know John Wayne did it, )so it had to go.
-
.243 for me, just a great all round calibre

A Question Of Balance?
proper job replied to a topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Big Fish, i for one agree with everything you say. i have a rough shoot of 200 acres, i walk it every morning inspecting my trap line, from the first of March through to the first of sept. i kill every legal predator that i can in that period. i have pheasants, grey partridge, skylarks, lapwing, curlew, snipe, barn owls, hares and i see or hear them every day, after that period i don't touch a thing but whilst those birds are nesting and rearing they need the help. all you need to do is tip the balance in their favour a little bit, i for one know that tb is a disease of overcrowding, and as ba -
i do know the old gamekeeper shot nearer 50%, and did'nt rear half as many birds, but he had a trap line going from 1st Feb till 1st Sept, and managed to get a lot of wild birds. there are loads of hens about at the moment but they will be picked off as soon as they start to sit. i realise not all gamekeepers are like this, as i said it was something i needed to get off my chest, and probally my title question was a bit strong. but take this as an example, where i had some wires set a month back, i spied one of the old keepers tunnels, dug it out, found an old fenn all rusted up, popped a new

Snareman gave me that tip, along with a few others.

just thought i'd put these up, same set as i caught the big one in the other day which i put on Ditch's thread. i drive over this bridge every day, can check the trap without getting out of my pick up. this is what i saw this morning after that big bugger the other day thought i'd set 120's [heres looking at you kid reset and ready for the next one

Titchy, if you go to the 100 top hunting sites that appears on the homepage look for Varmint Al's website. It's a good read and some interesting snippets, although i don't have a clue how you download them.

i wanted to get it off my chest and see what response it would provoke, i know there are good keepers out there, one ex one is a good friend of mine, hope he never reads the above though
