If that's what you look like after years of playing guitars for poofs you can keep it!

No need. On the charge of fucķwittery & twatishness I find both defendant's guilty as can be. Now where did I put that black hat.....

[Baldcoot 2,352]

Whilst you,ve got your blackhat on m,lord could you deal with the total incompetance of BBC weather .Forecast all day about 30 mins of showers at 9p,m so told the landowner be up at 10pm  so set off dry .

By eck after 5 miles Thor and Zeus ad a barney sheet lightning and torrential rain so muggins carried on thinking this will stop soon ,oh no not a chance .

Flooded roads turned me back ,messaged the landowner and his straight to the point reply "its shit here ",checked the liars website and now 30 minutes is going to last till 2am ,aargh about covers it .

Oh dear , I don’t come on here to get shirty or personal. I enjoy sharing my shooting experiences and reading others experiences. 
         All I’m doing is trying to shoot a difficult fox , for some friends of friends who are losing poultry on a smallholding . They own the paddock and as far as I’m aware I’ve got permission to be there . They don’t own the fields around them . The neighbours don’t want foxes shot because they hunt , but they understand that it is taking their birds and are aware of my presence. It seems that the guy who shoots on their ground just turned up last night , and shot onto the paddock , where he didn’t have permission . The owner has been informed and I left straight away . I’ve never shot or taken firearms on ground where I don’t have permission, I hope Alsone   this clears things up . I also look forward to more of your insightful and entertaining posts because I know that your tongue is wedged firmly in your cheek, because nobody could be that much of a cock .

Neither do I but that's twice in a week you decide to make personal attacks, in fact your very post above that I quote says you don't come here to get personal and then say "I also look forward to more of your insightful and entertaining posts because I know that your tongue is wedged firmly in your cheek, because nobody could be that much of a cock ." I'd call that pretty personal.

As for my "insightful comments", sometimes people on here forget that this board is read by others who are not members. It doesn't take me to tell you how to suck eggs. However, it may be read by some who've are either thinking about starting shooting or only just started and wouldn't know what to do in a certain situation, hence why I assume in replies it will be read by someone who knows nothing. Thank you for your explanation of the cirumstances. I don't believe I ever said you took firearms where you didn't have permission. What I said was it is somewhat foolish not to make yourself known to someone in the next field who from your dscription can't hit a barn door and is spraying bullets around like they're at a fairground attraction. You described them as whizing out close in front of you whilst you stayed and watched him. I'm pleased you left but that's not what your orginal post said, hence why I suggested it might be wise to make yourself known. Again, so far as what the neighbours want is irrelevent, but you said you believed the farmer who's permission you are on might be trying to persuade you not to shoot foxes by sending the guy down (who as it turns out wasn't there with permission), indicating you knew he didn't want foxes beign taken. I suggested it's foolish to abuse a permission by shooting species that the land owner might not want taken. It's that action that often leads to loss of permission. I wouldn't call any of that advice, whether to you or a novice insightful, but rather common sense. Either way, pleased yopu got it all sorted.

think your missing the point Alsone..

im all for lads sharing the knowledge when it comes to safety but your preaching to men who live in the real wold!

I can see why sl has given you that reaction and id be pissed off to, that man along with many of the other lads on here will I guarantee are mega safety conscious!

we are out at all hours on our own quite often miles from civilisation and apart from doing the job at hand what to return home to our familys in one pice without injuring anyone or getting shot..

id keep the words of wisdom for a newbie who posts asking for help, regarding all the calibe advice most of the lads on here have shot all sorts over the years and I can pretty much guarantee will know a friend who has used the caliber that there interested in with real world experience. 

im out two or three nights a week but you wouldn't have a clue as I dont do hunting posts, as for the lads that do post about there exploits it take me hat off to them as I enjoy reading what they have been up to and appreciate that they quality hunters who put a lot of time and effort into the tasks at hand.. would I be telling them what cal to use and how to use it??

would I fcuk.. theres a reason why there good at what they do and still alive

 

[Alsone 789]

I've had plenty of time out in the real world Si and as someone who nearly got shot with a .22 by a stray bullet from a friend taking a shot he shouldn't have taken, I'm more aware of safety than most. It's not a good idea to be unannounced in the dark next to someone very close in the next field who's spraying bullets about without much of a clue. Hardly seems controversial to me, but just my opinion. I wasn't there, maybe the situation was safer than it sounded. We'll leave it there.

I can see where the confusion is . I’m trying to shoot a fox on a small holding, which is really just a family with a big garden with chickens and ducks and geese, they also have a paddock in which they have two horses. It is in the middle of nowhere but is obviously surrounded by  farmland . The owners of the poultry “want” the fox shot . They want me to be there . The owner of the surrounding farmland ( the farmer) is fox friendly because his daughters ride out with the hunt and they have meets at the farm . They apparently understand the people want the fox gone and know I’m going there . The chap who shoots on the farmland which surrounds the small holding has had a word in his ear but has denied shooting in the paddock (BS) . I’ve got a feeling that the shooter is feeling a bit protective of “his patch” , and the shots were for my benefit. 
          I like this section of the THL as it’s nice and friendly , and for the most part we all swap stories and have a bit of banter and it’s a pleasant way to while away the time . If I wanted to be part of name calling and piss taking I would post in the terrier section or the general forum . But I’m a grown up . I do however have a flaw in my character and that is I’m prone to sarcasm, and as my wife says it’s the lowest form of wit . So Alsone, here’s the deal , how about when I post something feel free to comment, but if I think you are trying to teach me to “suck eggs” then I’m going to open a can of sarcasm on your ass , the likes of which you may never have encountered before. I genuinely hope that this is the end of our spat . I genuinely believe that you have valid and interesting input and you have a good knowledge of rifles and shooting in general. And I get what you were saying about novices reading the posts . So let’s shake on it .
