Lab 10,979 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just wondered if anyone had any stories where people have told them stuff and you've never been sure if to believe it or not. Heres 2 of mine, 1 is defo bullshit and the other i like to think did happen. Was in the pub on my 18th birthday, could have been 21st and a guy at the bar heard it was my birthday and started speaking to me when i was up for a drink. It was also his birthday and he asked what i did for a job. Well f**k me i wish i never said anything about the hunting side of things. he went on and on about stuff he had shot and he made this claim... that he shot a deer at.....wait for it......8 mile!!! I couldn't contain my laughter and went and sat with my mates, pishing myself laughing i told my pal who was in the army and we had a right good chuckle. He is known in the village now as simply "8 mile"... Now heres the one i just want too believe.....It was my Grandads brother who told me this. He was out working in the field one day and he heard a commotion, it was a hare screaming and running towards him. It had a stoat on its back latched on too its neck. Now he said the hare came running right up to his feet, crouched down and he booted the stoat off and the hare ran away. I'd like to add it said "Thanks very much and shook his hand" but i'd be taking that too far... But he was adamant that happened..... Fact or Fiction?.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fact or Fiction?.. true this one, my dogs were flushing a hare to the gun one day and there just happened to be a chap stood out from the wood with a pair of binoculars bird watching, i kid you not this hare took shelter between the blokes leggs, i watched his face turn white as 2 thumping great lurchers came steaming striaght at him. i few days later i was talking to one of the local farmers and he told me that he knocked on his door all shakey and asked for a drink of water, mick took him in and made him a cup of tea as the bloke told him the story 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet the 8 mile shot was with an air rifle too! The one about the Hare and Stoat could be true. The blind panic that the Hare would've been in could've caused it to do anything and possibly not be aware that where it crouched was actually a person. Who knows? After all fact can often be stranger than fiction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lab 10,979 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oh the 8 mile on mate is a cracker. He was pissed the old boy like but he was deadly serious. Think he was in the army at the time if i remember correctly. Certainly was funny.... I'd really like to think that the hare knew it was f****d and he was its only hope. who knows. Cant ask him now, he's dead!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dai dogs 1,630 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 A well known local businessman told me he once had a bull x whippet dog on trial. The dog ran a fox down the beam rolled with the fox the fox ripped the dogs throat out. And he still had to pay for the dog. I could not believe what this guy was telling me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Was shooting rabbits cpl year ago. Heard this almighty crack above my head. Looked up to see a sea gull spinning to earth like a helicopter. Silly bugger had hit a pylon cable lol Also once seen a pic of a 161b pike the man claimed . Seriously it was nore like 31b, even faced with loads of folk pissing themselfs laughing And the photo evidence, he still claimed it was 161b. Mind you he certainly isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baghdadnights 150 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Out watching the hunt with me old man I was prob only 10. We're stood on a gate watching the dogs searching for the fox they'd lost. My old man looked down and the fox was under the gate watching the dogs as well then just looked up at us crawl back and walked up the road Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,817 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I can't remember if this happened or was just a dream..... Out one night and we were driving down a farm track lamping out the window, spotted a hare and before we had decided to slip or not the bloody lurcher leaps through the drivers window barging my mate out the way. We are having a bit of a laugh about it while the dog is running the hare but this one is a bit too quick and is out the beam. Lamp off and we wait in the car for the dog to return and there is this almighty bang from the front bumper and then silence!.......... I said "Shit! The stupid fecking dog's killed itself!" We both rush out with the lamp expecting to see the dog with its neck broke.......... But much to our amusement we saw the hare lying there stone dead with the lurcher gallaping back towards us. Could have just as easily have been the dog mind.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
