Meece 1,957 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 This big cat thing a strange situation. I and others that I know have been out in the field both night and day over many years on shoots with many thousands of pheasants so one would think that a hungry big cat would definitely be attracted and its presence would be noted in its physical presence and be seen with white light or by thermal or IR oandr one to get caught in a snare yet there is no tangible evidence that I have seen. Not even a bit of fur or hair. In environments where cats do actually exist physical signs can be found. Kills, footprints and the visual. If we were to have a drive around tonight there would be a likely sight of rabbit, hare, badger, Fox maybe deer and possibly a wild boar if we were in the right area, but BIG CAT! On one hand there is no realistic tangible evidence BUT several people that I know, who I trust, and have no reason to lie, and who have not broadcast the story have told me about big cats that they have seen on a one of basis. They have been quite scared and shocked by this happening. I've never seen one but I am certain that I have heard one. Way back in probably 89 ...90 I went down on the marsh in late August to see if any ducks were fighting in. Suddenly there was the most vicious aggressive noise from a gully that was two fields away. It made the hair stand up. In those days cent're fire and lamping was almost unknown and I didn't have either at that time. I was so frightened and intrigued by this that I got in the car and drove home 5 miles got the small lamp and a shotgun and BB that I did have and went back to Have a look for the source of the noise. Nothing was seen. Some years later I was listening to animal calls and I am 100% sure that what I heard was the call of a lynx. I sit on the fence as to yes or no. That event is still strong in my mind all of these years later. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Why make an issue out of it. That would go back to 1968 and before. Back in those days vehicles used tungsten bulbs, then in the 70s ford and others like Vauxhall used sealed beam lights. The light was poor and small sealed jelly batteries didnt exist for common use. I didnt say that lamping didnt exist but that no one that I knew around here went lamping on foot and battery and lamp bulb technology was so poor that it wasn't common. A local bloke used to cart a full size lead acid car battery with all of the problems of acid spill he used this setup for shotgunning rabbits. Not all land is accessible by vehicle.

That's how we all (of a certain age) started ain't it?? my mum wasn't best pleased with the back of my jeans all holed out from battery acid, I carried a car battery a fair way to catch a couple of rabbits from a young age (late 80's)... it's either that or 20 years of roofing that's f****d my back lol Edited March 25, 2018 by NEWKID 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 When cb radio was the rage back in the 80s a mate and I made side packs using lead acid motor bike batteries sealed gel types weren't available then. The acid rotted the bags out. and that was a lump to cart about. We used it to communicate around the shoot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

There weren't many using the landrover to power up lamps either because of churning up the fields and the light range was P poor so it was shotguns.
