I think it comes to all of us if you do enough hunting. Feels like there has to be some give as well as take.

We all like to think we put in a good shift when at work and give our all to earn a few quid and do the best we can … but do we really work that hard … Well you do if you work for me and you end up looking like this at the end of the day.

Good job every gun just instantly kills it's quarry and every hunting dog kills with one swift bite to break a animals neck then eh....

Anything imho that doesn’t humanely despatch the quarry , ie those squirrel traps or hold them live in a cage , eg fox traps etc , needs consigned to the dustbin as it’s f***ing despicable . the idea of a animal like a fox , wolf , mountain lion , bear stood with a wrought iron teeth trap tearing its tendons and bone apart over a period of time whilst it struggles , seems abhorrent to me .

Looks better than she did to start. I had to give her mouth to mouth to get her going. And yes it’s been said before - I’m a soft touch / mental.

Fall Trapping Rendezvous is here ? spent the night having a round table discussion with the NTA President ( National Trapping Association) , had some good food discussed some political stuff how to reach more people , education and so on. The fun starts today though ! Going to have demos lots of people vendors and food ? will keep posting pictures though the day ?

If a hunter is'nt a naturalist and conservationist they're going down the wrong track

Well it's piss down and blowing some so made a couple of Pasty's one was gone so quick I only had one to take a picture of. Then made a batch of Bramley apple and Onion pickle. Cheers Arry

Well I think this is as good as it gets. Jok.

Home for the night…

Mum was sadly dead. Her tummy was moving so I tried to make a crappy situation a bit better and C sectioned her and got the fawn out alive. It’s still going at about 30 hours. It’s had a few feeds of lamb colostrum and now on milk replacer. Fingers crossed it keeps going and makes it through. Lovely little thing. Funnily enough I rang a wildlife / animal charity and they said I should have left it to die.

I could really write a whole essay on the matter and I've done papers on it but stuff has come a looooong way. I've run cameras on animals in traps their been tons of research with the bumps and the like and honestly with modern traps a practices stuff is extremely humane. Most of the guys here live market so we require traps that treat them the absolute best. We cannot have damage . That along with the fact we deal with a lot of non targets ( domestics animals like bobcats that we can't keep) we simply cannot get away with stuff like your saying.Most of the time you cant even tell what

Fukin same ole shit , prolific potless dinlo posting 24/7 .sites gone down the shitter.if some of these helmets put as much time into thier work as they do on here thier wife’s wouldn’t nt be driving a 15 yr old zafira.

Once you judge another man’s hunting styles you may as well be a anti. The Americans are light years ahead of us lot back here

You could make a few "manbags" for some on here out of that. ??

Well, surprise, surprise…… Dover migrant centre attack driven by right-wing ideology - police WWW.BBC.COM Andrew Leak threw up to three incendiary devices at the site in Dover, Kent, last Sunday. Obviously nothing to do with the bloke probably has spent the last 30 years watching his area go down the shitter, can’t afford to turn on the heating while his country is taken from under him…….nah, that won’t be it ! f**k sake like !

Hope you don't mind mate... I'm sorry.. I couldn't resist!!?

In the future though, I am going to borrow a greyhound bitch off my daughter in law ( she's a trainer) and put him over it, always wanted a beddy greyhound.

That is a beautiful view that’s for sure but it’s one of the reasons I live on a boat because everywhere you go views like that are being blighted by solar/wind farms or housing estates to be filled by the hardworking tax paying migrants our governments are basing there futures on, aiming for zero immisions while destroying the lungs of the earth for maximum profits as we still follow them blindly if it wasn’t so sad it would be hilarious, good luck to you and the lad fighting his local wind farm ?

Well the geese have been on the winter barley the last 2 mornings so this morning was the time to have a go. I was set up on the field by 6.20am in the dark under a beautiful red sky full of anticipation, will they come or not ? As soon as it was breaking light the 1st skein of 10 birds drifted towards the decoys but not fully committed so I took the lead bird which took 2 shots sending it crashing into the earth. Then the birds started to flight and I took a few right and lefts ....the flight was all over in half an hour but I thoroughly enjoyed it taking 11 birds ? Now I

Think it’s a age thing as well older you get you feel like you don’t have to kill everything you come across ? Rats are exempt ?

Arry my son, now please keep this to your good self, and this isnt like me to grass someone up, but that bloke Tomo off here, well hes just messaged me and said , the pasties are ginsters

f**k that ?

Morning coffee with the old guys ? And someone brought baby gators ?

Good going? was out with dog just before dark and must of seen over a thousand geese, the skeins kept coming over… thought I’d go for a look this morning! absolutely sod all? fcuk knows where they went… was worth it for the sunrise and blasted something for the hotpot on way back to the motor.

Dogs so f***ing fat I’m surprised it could catch a cold never mind “edible game”……what was it catching? Beef burgers ? Lol

I don't blame you wyluke this is my view from bedroom window I'm praying there's no plans to build in the future I'd be (fkin) gutted I'd don't blame you for been concerned

Lunch.

Just a thought. When I was doing the Poppy Cascade, I wondered how many of you have had the honour of visiting the National Arboretum Staffordshire? If you haven’t, no matter how far away, it should be on your bucket list. The hair will stand up on your neck for sure. I last time, one of many, I took my grand daughter there when, as luck would have it, there was a flyover from RAF Coningsby , Lancaster and Spitfire. Awesome. Jok.

cracking topic, dont mind us commenting negative stuff, it always happens. we dont get to hunt or get raffled guns or have shows like that over here, it would be plagued by antis and the woke bbc, (nothing to do with big black roosters) lol keep the pics coming wolfie as its a refreshing change

I put these up I watch all the time they not usef it as far as I know

?you try to be humane but things don’t always work out mate i have nothing against traps or any type of hunting really unless it’s going to waste even simple things like hares they can escape missing the tail most will a seen that

Put up 2 units 15 years ago, they spent £30k on a "bat house" was a proper full building... As I always tell the kids, we have no bats here...??

Good eating , these catfish where swimming around a few hours ago

no mate it's not and neither are the animals caught by the traps the original post is about. Multiple shite dogs thrown from a vehicle can produce those results though.

Very sensible cool measured reply backed up with documents well done keep it coming ?

@lurcherman 887

f@@k it....he keeps his balls then.....mind made up....:)

I,m surprised you have never heard of him, here he is pre ban on the edibles ????

Can't beat pike fishing in winter months late December Jan Feb when the big lady's have put that weight on. I've made a few live bait floats out of polly balls a bought from that shop Boys in brid. The polly balls are size of junior football. A need to get in the shed and find them have a session a think. There a place over in Yorkshire called pugneys water park nice size lake. It's a lake for kayaking an sailing but they let you fish the lake at the back end. The lake holds some big girls alot of over 20lbs. Few years back I had a monster of a girl 24lb 6oz to me it was anyway lol. That day

Little beauty You going to build her up n release her on none hunted ground?
