forest of dean redneck 11,608 Posted July 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 When you look at what Fred was doing in the 1930's, with what is essentially homemade equipment, it makes you wonder just how much shit we carry around on a daily basis. How does it go? Skill trumps gear? All the gear an no idea? But then what was the landy carrying? An was there a team of porters hunkered down in the bush? Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) All the gear an no idea? But then what was the landy carrying? An was there a team of porters hunkered down in the bush? Not necessarily no idea, but actual time served in the field, skills. The point was in a day where everyone needs the latest and greatest gadget. Realtree ghillie suits. Spraying themselves with scent masker, and then shooting rabbits with a £1500 air-rifle and scope combo, he was hunting everything in North America in his street clothes, with a homemade recurve bow. Revolutionised the sport, and the industry around it. Was making nature/hunting videos when most people didn't have a television!

Jamie m 668 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Read chuck Adams bow hunting books and his quests to bow down the largest specimens on the full quarry list, a life time dedicated to the pursuit of quarry so difficult and varied it's almost impossible to comprehend Excellent call. Fred Bear, over this way, was a revolutionary in a similar sense. Inventor of the Razorhead broadhead, he took a four-tonne bull elephant, in Mozambique. Shot at 40yards using a 75lbs recurve, with a 2oz broadhead! . What the feck , Link to post Share on other sites

pesky1972 5,289 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 In the news today,someone spotted and photographed this cryptid in Scotland. That's an easy one to clear up. It's a tortoise called Herman, once made famous by his appearance on the opening credits of One Foot in the Grave. He lives with Richard Wilson on the notorious Raploch housing scheme in Stirling. Following the pair's success on 'One Foot', their respective careers have gone downhill. Herman still blames Wilson for his ill fated appearance on Mrs Merton, where Bernard Manning basically took the piss out of him for half an hour solid, for their drop in popularity and the work drying up. Wilson himself has been critical of the fact that Herman's neck hasn't stopped growing since the pair met in 1986.., making him look 'freakish' even for a tortoise, and making it unavoidable that he'll be type cast. Herman is occasionally seen walking around the hills surrounding Stirling (hence this latest photo), however Wilson hasn't been seen in public since 2012. Locals have often reported hearing someone in the early hours of the morning screaming 'I don't belieeeeve it'..., and there were some grainy shots captured on a trail cam on the Union canal tow path last year, but nothing confirmed. Curiously both Wilson and Herman the tortoise are believed to be the same age.., 107 years old. And, although they've lived together since the show finished in the early 90's, it's said that they always despised one another and are locked in a battle to see who's going to die last. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,645 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Most of the articles I've read about that creature focus on what they are going to name it and not "what is it" sounds guff to me 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,441 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 In the news today,someone spotted and photographed this cryptid in Scotland. Nice piece of wood that , make a lovely mirror frame , None spotted this week then ?? Big cats that is at the Stroud show on Saturday, which is a very small village fete really, 16 people filled in witness reports of sightings one even produced photo,s but again with nothing of scale in the picture and several years gone by since it was taken its just another black cat, though the lady that took the picture said it was huge we will only ever have her word for it, the reports also help to fill in a picture as some areas have had a steady flow of reports dating back over 20 years and a new area I,ve been looking around and found a few footprints had its first sighting x2 confirming my suspicions and giving me a new area to get some cameras in next year, Link to post Share on other sites
