Ratreeper 441 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Does anyone have a story of making a prat of yourself? People can have a bit too much pride, and reading through some threads you get the impression some people never make a mistake. But any story of where being a bit naive has backfired or it was just bad luck will do. When I was a bit younger me and a couple of friends would be out at every opportunity, so we decided to try ferreting at night time. It became apparent this was a bad idea when the ferrets went down and dozens of rats came pouring out like water. I have never danced around like more of an idiot in my life, we both had several rats up our trouser legs in seconds and to be honest it still gives me the creeps. This, and the time one of my ferrets was hanging off the nose of the land owners prize horse could easily have been avoided. But the one that really hurt my pride was when I was shooting around some barns with a mate, who decided I should take the shot because I was the better aim. So with the farmer watching and my ego swelling I took aim at the pigeon about 40 yards away, which stepped just out of sight, so I slowly stepped backwards and found myself arm-pit high in what can only be called a cess pool. Why there was a 5ft person sized hole I don't know, but it had filled with all the run off from the farm :sick: Apart from scratching my rifle it was just my pride that hurt, and my nose. Some people on here have been hunting longer than I have been alive so most of you will have cocked up at some point, and it might actually be valuable to learn from each others mistakes. lesson 1.

When hunting rats tuck your socks in Your so right mate it seems that on this site they all pros and never made a mistake or a moment when they glad that it was dark and nobody saw what they thought was quarry and slipped on was infact there neighbours cat haha (example). Fair play to the guys that have commented on this thread after all it's the hunting life not the serious life. Fcuk ups and mistakes can't be learned from if they don't happen in the first place Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tomm Parr 30 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 About 10 years ago my pal paid £4.5k for an imported supercar from the local police pound (it'd been seized in an operation a year or so earlier and couldn't be traced etc, so they sold it - seriously, you should check out the local plod pound, plenty of bargains there!). Anyway, it felt like you were in an aeroplane taking off when you put your foot down and he drove about like a nutter for 6m. He thought he was being a clever c**t driving with no tax nor insurance (why the f**k you'd do that with a £4.5k car i don't know). Anyway, he needed to sell the car as he was joining the Metropolitan police (seriously! ) and didn't want the car living in the city. First bloke that came to see it (at an out of the way service station because he was worried about someone seeing he had no tax... ) took the car for a test drive and never came back. Wahtr a dick for giving him the keys, no comeback, no nothing. What a f*****g numbnut. He's done fairly well in the Met apparently, ain't seen him for a few years.
