    You're living the dream there mack. Are the black squirrels a different type of squirrel, or just a different colour?. I went on a deer stalk a few years back , on a large private family estate. The place was overrun with black grey squirrels. It was crazy that they didn't sell the black squirrel shooting, when plenty of airgunners would have paid more for the squirrel shooting, than folks were paying for muntjac deer shooting.

    You're a feckin liar. You've just been tugging yourself around the bedroom thinking about it

    I mainly leave hares alone to be honest mack ( usually down to landowners wishes) , but my mind still goes through the hunting of them. That squirrel is as cute as f**k mack . What did it taste like

    This . It's a strange thing , but I take no pleasure from the killing , only from the hunting and the getting. That's probably totally unfathomable to most people , as the killing is part of the getting, but it's just the way it is . When I pull the trigger and something drops , I don't think " yes , I've killed it ! " , I think , " yes , I've got it !". I know a couple of folks that shoot , that will just leave things where they drop . I just can't comprehend it , and find it f***ing disrespectful and wasteful . It's just countryside vandalism. They'll drop a muntie , and leav

    Yep. You just can't help it . It's just always there , just waiting for an opportunity .

    I could just turn up in my normal clothes , looking like a homeless tramp . I'd be like one of those folks on the salvation army Christmas advert.

    That's it , you did the hunting and catching. I'm the same these days to be honest . I could kill much much more than I do , but I'll just spend time looking instead , while in my head , the hunter is plotting it's demise , and making space for it in the freezer .

    I might give it a go . Just rock up at the spoons , wearing my hot pants and boob tube , and see if I can scam a free full English out of some desperate old f****r .

    f**k me. I've never heard of that. Women never ever run out of devious ways to scam money out of desperate blokes .

    Bang on the money . It's the way that we've evolved to survive over thousands of years . Governments can change , hunting / fishing /foraging laws , as much as they want , but they can't change that deep seated need to do it , and they'll never be able to stop people from doing it. If it's in you, it's in you , and that's that. I remember watching a documentary about the American civil war . They found a rifle that had been loaded many times with lead balls , but hadn't been fired . The soldier , just wasn't a warrior , and didn't have it in him to kill another man. He wasn't a coward

    You were in my head as I typed it mack. You're the perfect example .

    I mainly shoot these day . But if I couldn't shoot , I'd trap or snare , or use a dog , or just dig a pit . I just can't help it. When I'm fishing , I'm catching one fish at a time , but I'm constantly thinking how I could catch them all , and if I'm using a keep net , it kills me to put them back. I was out hiking on a hill not too far away a few years ago , it was about 5am , and half light . I bumped a herd of fallow , and they just ran nose to tail in front of me , just three feet away (about 30 of them). For that few seconds that they were running past , all that was going through m

    There must be quite a few still at it ( although i dont know many these days), because my mrs sells leather pouches for mk1 and mk3 locators on ebay , and she's still selling quite a few .

    I love the way your mind works mitre. Most of us would have looked at that pic , and saw an attractive young woman , in stockings and suspenders , showing her sense of humour , but you looked and saw some bird squeezing out a fart .

    The hunter gatherer in my head doesn't care about sport mack , the hunter gatherer only sees a belly full of food. My woodland is surrounded by one of the biggest and best shoots in the country , and is alive with many thousands of pheasants at this time of year. It takes everything I have not to put every last one of them in my freezer. I've never hunted because I wanted to , I only hunt because something inside my head forces me to do it. You can convince yourself that you're doing it by choice , but you're not really. If you're a hunter , then you have to hunt. I'm the sam

    I used to work with a fantastic gang of lads . Proper grafters , that you could have a laugh with , and trust with your life. These days I mainly work with a bunch of gobshites , that'll happily stab you in the back for f**k all but a pat on the head from a manager.

    Fortunately, when I was working the doors , I set myself a very high moral bar , and never ever took advantage of the opportunities . Honest .

    I can't stand half the folks I work with these days , and I can barely stand to spend time with them when I'm being payed for it.

    Snap. The hunter gatherer inside my head would be f***ing screaming at me .

    You can see from the video that the handbrake wasn't on . Leaving it off is usually what happens when a driver gets hit by his own truck. It's one of those split seconds mistakes that can cost someone dearly ( either the driver , or padestrians), its especially easy when you're in and out of the cab and you're rushing. It could also be mechanical failure , especially in freezing conditions. Just over two weeks ago , on a frosty morning, the handbrake warning sensor on the truck that I was driving , lit up several times , saying that the handbrake had come off( it had). Fortunately I was

    That's a f***ing unpleasant way to go mack. Was it a left the handbrake off thing , or truck sliding on the ice thing ? .

    I break up at 2pm on the 24th , and go back in at 6am on the 27th. It's a bit shite , but some of the lads at work will be working on Christmas day.
