reddawn 2,173 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 was talking to a guy the other day an this is what i heard lol years ago on a dairy farm they had loads a rats, the older farmer(Actually the guy that told the storys father) laid several live catch rat traps about the farm, every day he would empty the live rats into a large cage in 1 of the barns, when the live traps started to dry up catching he stopped feeding the rats in the communal cage an they become canibals, he left them till there was only 1 left, which was by now the biggest hardest rat an a canibal to boot, so he then let the canibal rat go back on the farm an it ate all the rats that tried to move in after that day 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Seen 2 Canada geese taken with one shot of an .177 air rifle. Also seen what appeared to be a rabbit dig itself out a shallow warren, I imagine it was probably an old sealed up hole that it got through. A guy once told me he shot a pigeon out the air with an air rifle. Possible but hmmm I doubt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The truth is often stranger than fiction: I recall a night I call The Drowning. Almost a drowned dog, but not quite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'd agree with Skycat, sometimes the facts are stranger than fiction......I once lamped (with a lamp!) a dwarf, running up a track miles from anywhere..!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hily 380 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 driven up to the farm gate as i was the passenger i got out to open the gate i spy a bunny next to the gate post so i point it out to the driver and pick a stone up he shakes his head noway i throw the stone and kill the bunny stone dead what makes this even more unbelievable is that i am avery poor shot so my mate always tells me i should have thrown a stone at it when i miss owt with the gun.

PlasticJock 539 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I went for a beer not long ago, some old boy starts talking away, as soon as I mention hunting he regales me of his tales of yesteryear. When he goes to the toilet, however, his mate (who was nearly on his arse), then tells me he once had 'tryouts' for the GB shotgun team. Obviously, this was many moons ago and I wouldn't have even been born at the time. Turnsout he shot a target at 350m, which was a record at the time. With a shotgun I moved on after that... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dai dogs 1,630 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 when i was a teenager ( long time ago ) i used to go upto a local quarry on weekend evenings. I would look over the edge of the rock face to see how many rabbits were sitting out on the other side. Then throw stones to see what holes in the rocks they would go into so i knew where to put the ferret . 0ne evening i threw a few stones at some sitting rabbits 1 rabbit ran up the steep rock face while another ran down it. They collided 1 rabbit lost its balance fell about 30 or so feet to its death .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 One of mine first...I was ferreting about 6 years ago along a wooded bank, did a few earths first getting a few bunnies then come to an earth that was usually good for a few more. Put my big albino hob in and literally seconds later there was about 5 or 6 stoats that bolted out of all different holes and about 5 bunnies also come out. Very strange one. One of an older fella I know who spends a lot of time in the pub, reckons when he's been out lamping he's found 3 different people who've hung themselves in woods, a gruesome one I know and I don't know whether I believe him as he does talk wet. but I suppose it could happen?
