Greyman 28,441 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Sounds like they were english side of the Severn above bristol. around nailsworth on the edge of the Cotswolds is a hotbed of big cat sightings also a lovely area for a bit of moonlight action, the hole area is alive with deer and several pheasant shoots, some of the valleys coming down off the Cotswolds in the area are steep, heavily wooded and rarely see people, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,441 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Read last of the English poachers Some very tall tales in there !! most of our memory,s, like fine wine, get better and better with age, we seem to have a filter that removes all the shit nights out, were we catch nothing,the motor breaks down, or gets stuck in mud somewhere we ain't meant to be, and enlarge,s on the few good nights were everything just falls into place and we can't stop catching even if we tried, I think it comes to all of us in time, when there is nothing left but memory,s,, plus who wants to read a book full of all the shite nights 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dead Eyes 681 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 They're about. I remember reading that DEFRA confirmed it a few years back but it didn't get much press. My exes father - liar that he is - came home one evening to say he'd just seen one. Didn't believe him. But it made the papers a few days later with a few sightings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,441 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Anyone interested, the frampton show is on the 11th sept this year the guy from the British big cat society, is there every year,he has enough evidence on his stand to convert even tomo, if any of you in the Gloucester area are interested, also a nice family day out, with lots of more normal country activity,s for everyone, though like most good country shows it does seem to cater more each year for the dicks walking round with a bull terrier and a chihuahua in hunting jackets thinking they are Proper country folk, but I guess they are willing to pay more for a pint of scrumps than an old p***y like me pays for a gallon, so who can blame em Quote Link to post Share on other sites
