Plenty of guts but lacks stamina and has dodgy feet. There was a bloke down the pub had a one. f****n mustard on walrus. Had three in one night, can't beat lightforce lamps. Story is he had a heart attack carrying them home. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively, tackle up your fishing rod and attach line to the eagles neck. As soon as it flies toward a lamb,strike! Works every time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There has been a walrus spotted in uk this year in various locations hasn’t there ? We had one on the Pembrokeshire coast last Spring. I wonder if its the same one? Hard to tell as they all look quite similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spent to many years fannying about with birds of prey, Always found i either had the money and not the time or the time and not the money, Flown accipiter's, Long wings, Buteo`s and parabuteo`s. To get a bird truly fit requires a level of commitment most are not capable of giving, consequently there birds never reach their true potential, Some people do achieve it and a bird in prime condition is a sight to behold. Chucking something over a hedge on a Saturday morning to catch an unsuspecting pheasant or rabbit just does not do it for me, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
