    Ah for me, the finest sort of hunting? It's got to be hunting hunters bollocks extrapolate your post count in comparison to mine 15 in 3 days = 5 per day over a ten year period that would equate to over 18,000 Extrapolate my post count Some people are truly sad to spend their time extrapolating people's post counts; well any way, I thank you all so much for all your help, it's been so useful, especially those of you who have sent me PMs (I won't go embarrassing any one)

    Believe what you like, how high the pedestal is doesn't count for anything if we lose our way of life, our right to shoot or if the Anti's make it too hard; you never know, if the public take a disliking to use enough for killing their "pretty" badgers, Parliament could stop our fun. you know they'll do anything for votes, look at the Tories, I thought they were on our side. If you don't agree with what I'm saying, feel free to disregard it which is what I'm doing to your post

    Not many posts because I've just recently decided to bother with this forum, until really recently I have been to busy to be on hunting forums or actually to go shooting or hunting. Remember there was a time Mushroom that you had few posts, it didn't mean what you had to say was of any less importance than the next guy with 10,000 posts, it just meant that he wasn't outside shooting, exercising the dogs but was inside in the warm in front of a computer of all things. As for people involved in the cull, do I know any marksmen? not from this cull, do I know any farmers who are suffering from bTB

    "so people who have invested time and money in game birds and crops are to be chucked to the wind in your solution, if their numbers are causing a problem there needs to be a solution for all and that's as easy as issuing licenses to farmers/keepers/greenkeepers/cemetery workers and who ever else needs to control their numbers at ground level." In my "Solution" I don't aim to Chuck them to the wind but just not to treat the gamebird and crop threat with the same urgency as the problem we have for cattle TB, Badgers pose a significant threat to birds and crops but a even bigger threat to ca

    No idea but it's worked in Wales, they managed to vaccinate a load of them; maybe the badgers are friendly to bunny huggers? How many is a "load" ?..........what percentage of the population ? Ok, figures in the vaccination; West Wales has been vaccinating for two years now (after the fluffy welsh assembly wouldn't allow culling, Antis), they vaccinated 1,424 black and whites in their first year and rumoured more this year, so far their bTB in cattle is down by a quarter, the trial is going on for 5 years so they are expecting far better results in the long run. -I'm sure there ar

    I am far aware that if the parameters are wrong it can't be deemed a failure from the practical part of the cull but as the pilot is essentially a large scale experiment, if the things before the cull started are incorrect, the whole thing is; I suggest that if they wish to do a cull correctly that they must make sure their details are correct. My mistake as of how I worded the part on Cage trapping, This is what I meant to highlight 10.3.3. The decision to include cage trapping as a primary method of badger removal, taken without consulting the IEP I'm pretty sure that anyone who

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear....... Where do I begin?? Well firstly, let's just clarify the 'failure' thing....... How was it a failure? In Somerset, the actual figure was between 70-% of the population killed. The problem is that the 'target' was set by numpties who couldn't count their own fingers and toes....... by the admission of the IEP, at least 30% of holes were incorrectly attributed to badgers; add to that some dodgy maths, where each set was supposed to contain 6.5 badgers, and you can see why the target figure was so far out........ Then let's just mention the hum

    Thanks for the advice mate; it's interesting to see what some of the responses are, so paranoid, personally I'm pretty outspoken, I've never don'e the quiet thing well. Just to clear up some things, I'm no pot smoking sofa surfing scrounger just I think the government pussied around with the first pilot and screwed up despite the hard work of the contractors. they need to try better and if they are serious about getting the bTB problem solved, let the anti's and their ilk have a go with the vaccines, it will stop any shit from ALF or the other nutters in the long run. That said, I wouldn't

    Lovely lady indeed, and very popular among us THL members, not least of all because she's a cracking shot and thinks badgers should be gassed ! I'm not suprised that you guys like her, she's a down to earth, typical country person, she says it as it is; plus she has a cracking course at Gatcombe which can challenge even the best event/ hunter

    Anti? that's seriously a cruel insult; Devil's advocate, that's all. You guys need to stop being so bloody paranoid You have to admit that the pilot cull was a total failure and he Government hasn't a clue what their talking about, it doesn't really effect them like it does us guys And by the way, I've met the Princess Royal several times as she's also very involved in horse racing, lovely lady

    So recently the IEP (Independent Expert Panel) report on last year's shambolic badger cull was released... https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/300382/independent-expert-panel-report.pdf I just wondered what everyone else's views on this is; after all it proves Mr Owen Patterson and his "honourable" friends as liars and the idea of culling is actually not feasible. First of all it was 70% were supposed to be killed in 6 weeks and marksmen only managed 24% Somerset, 37% Gloucestershire; I know the terrain in both zones is very difficult and the A

    This is a fabulous place in the South West, good memories from last summer when I was down; some of the guys from work talk about some of the local shoots lots, Very high pheasants and partridge; I really need to get out to more shoots next season.

    As you probably would have gathered, I'm a new member to this site but a long time view of the articles. Soon I'm hoping to be moving down into the Dorset/ Somerset/ Devon area; I look forward to getting to know some people on here and get some details on different hunts in the South West, Not sure which one to go for.... Well anyway, Hi Kind Regards Kitsune
