Malt 379 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'm tempted to walk around my office and test your theory but I am very confident it would just court bad publicity from both males & females. There's the answer. Walk around a countryside pub with the photos instead, bet you'd get a different reaction. Unless the place is full of holidaymakers I suppose.. Quote Link to post

I have been in this game too long to have ever witnessed any other sort of reaction. If you feel this is doing the cause good then carry on, somehow I feel that this just gives further ammunition to the anti's. I have tested it. The reactions were as advertised... Quote Link to post

The reactions were as advertised... those photos were shown round the pub on sunday and as MR L says the lads all laughed and most of the girls made EEW noises but the overwelming reaction that i always get when i talk to people about shooting or snaring of hunting is "wow, can you take me out shooting some time i really want to see what its all about" cheers hyperion Quote Link to post

cbw 4 Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) We all bitch amoungst ourselves, I am yet to see any real 'antis' coment on here. If a rabbit showed itself and I had a 308 to hand I would take the shot and I have to say there have been many worse pics on here. Soon no one will post any interesting pictures for fear of getting a slagging off, keep your negative comments to yourselves, if you dont like hunting pictures go join a flower arranging site! I just published a few rabbit pictures on my facebook profile and out of 400+ friends I received 1 'anti' style comment and that was from a mates daughter who is 16 years old and lives in the city! CBW AND ALT + F4 CLOSES DOWN THE IN USE WEB PAGE, IT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT LIKE USING A MOUSE!!! Edited May 11, 2009 by cbw Quote Link to post
Guest hyperion Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 those pics are also on my facebook and the only comment ive had so far is "thats hoffific!" cheers hyperion Quote Link to post
dave dog 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I think the ones who are using the hand movments need to take a look at why they shoot, and if hand moments are all you can comment with why bother. Putting a erpsonce up.Shooting it not a right in this country like it is in some. We need to make sure that we don't loss it. Its not right to such large caliber weapons like that, but for some of us its leagal. We know what rounds like this do, i shoot foxes with 270win and upto 150 yrds bits come off. But i would not post it on any forum, people and joe public seeing photo like this may agree differenetly about what we can use, some of us are lucky enough to that condition on are tickets pic's like may get it taken away for every one so we need to think what we post. But when we take shots like that we need to ask how safe it is meaning do the round expand properly and loss their muzzle engery and where will stop if the shot deflected which it will.

flytie 1 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I do not think that gory posts should be banned, perhaps a "graphic" in the post title might help the sqeamish. But Mr Logic gets my vote every time for clarity of thought ft Quote Link to post
