Can anyone remember a old low budget film set in America where rabbits did grow huge, an killed people think it ended with them holed , up in a cellar firing a shotgun through the trap hatch at the rabbits 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 29,869 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Same as that as I think the whole echo system starts to break down when you remove the alpha predators, likewise a watercourse has its top predators down to its lowliest scavengers and they are all as important, remove one and it all starts to slide but I would if my life was dependant on it, as in I,m quite happy looking for what I,m looking for and will crawl in small caves or shake one out of a tree if I had the chance, but all I want is a photo and I don’t have the option of taking a gun so if I was fearful I would not be able to go looking, remember a fool has no fear but a brave man overcomes his 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tour takes you out to a wooden hut for the night. No windows just a big long gap maybe about 5 inches tall along both sides to see out. They out loads of fish heads and tails out and the bears came in to eat them. Also saw a lynx that day as well That's sounds spot on mate.i wouldn't mind doing something like that. If I remember right I'm sure a nature programme I watched once said some bears can run as fast as a racehorse. You obviously wouldn't have a chance escaping that..

chartpolski 25,609 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 So a hunter gets killed while hunting and other hunters offer their condolences. If one of my pals, or indeed ANY hunter, was killed or died whilst out hunting here, I, and I suspect most people on here, would offer OUR condolences ! Whats the problem ? Cheers.

FLATTOP 4,693 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) A friend of mine lives in the Cape and some of the pictures and videos he sends me are amazing he has hunted Cape Buffalo a few times and says he can be out four days or so tracking them very dangerous animals of which he is more than aware of the risks, his trophy room is very impressive. When I send him pics of what we shoot to be honest it feels a bit embarrassing, I would love it if we could hunt larger game more freely Wild Boar being the best example I suppose. But on the story of the hunter being hunted it’s tough shit he just met a bigger hunter on the day and of course if you new him you would offer condolences or even if it was somebody on here I’m sure Socks would do the right thing and grant them a little send off thread.

Spot on Gnash, regards bulldogs, your right mate lot macho pricks shouting when the dog having a rough time, but wouldn't or wont face a bloke of there own size or bit bigger size, if they had a good'un in the mush , soon jack . your right you carnt compare the 2 deff, but i will say this regards hunting dogs, more so my big gsd x grey 1x , he big wimp when not hunting, upset him dead easy, but great temp with people / dogs, but put his hunting head on, he different dog , he very full on he tackle what you put him on , some of the rough/tumbles at 35mph in the dark ,deff committed animal , just like most other lurchers are that bred right .

Have shown this before, but basically I had contact from a farmer that had had a sheep eaten alive and suspected a cat had done it, after checking it out the sheep had become trapped and eaten by the wild bore while it was still alive, I came across this picture while researching pig impacts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To right they will I seen a good vid maybe 20yrs ago now of some hillbilly's using bulldogs fair play once them dogs had ear hold.it was time to hold on tight.fair play to the dogs they took some hammer but held firm.1 boar even killed a blood hound I think the dog was.and started drifting down the stream.looks some good fun though I must admit..
