Northernlite, minced up the rabbits for my dogs and sent me back we half a tonne Man's a god

Today was flatter ground but the warrens were huge so the long nets were out another great day ,dogs made some cracking catches and retrieves

I just my view on it mate I have really good mates some that were in the same class at school as me back in 50's early 60's. I've hunted and poached with them all my life if they said they seen one they seen one. I think I'm the only one in all my old pals that has not seen one. They are not liars been in a lot of scrapes with some of them you know the people you can trust. I strongly believe there are still a few big cat's around the South West our steep wooded valleys are good ground for hiding them. I keep an open mind and really hope GM or any body else will get some good foot ag

Deleted all news apps and don’t watch news anymore just another way for the msm to bring your days down and make you feel negative. deleted Facebook and Instagram only use this now only had social media for my business anyway but feel better for it.

Bitch around five months

So no amount of witness count they are all daft or imaging what they saw (even if two people so the same thing) after fame or liars. Well I know about eight people that have witnessed them none are any of the above all hunting people one being a farmer that runs a big shoot. Also the farmers daughter that had one come over a hedge and land about ten foot in front of her, she screamed her head off probably just a farm moggy. Right. Now I don't believe there is a large group of breading Big Cats but I do believe they have bred as a few are still getting sighted. Now every one to a man that

Saturday had us up they hills bolting for the dogs and hunting out reed beds really enjoyed it ,but my feet about fell off

I've had a weekends hunting ,wi me old mate beddy dave ,the hunting has been fantastic and the dogs have done great

As you probably know, I've been lucky enough to have been invited by Davey onto his permissions a few times. Doesnt matter if it's up the mountains or on the reed beds, you're guaranteed some sport ! Cheers.

Bitch is settling in well now after my initial regrets. recall is much better now and it looks like a different dog. food she’s getting must suit her better and she’s getting some muscle on her back even after just a few week. im starting to walk her through sheep now so ? ATB TonyT

Haddock and Chips. Cheers Arry

I will attempt to answer this for you and not aimed at yourself but in general this is were the problems occur is people popping in and out getting bits of info and half truths without bothering to find out the full story, Ben mee has only recently taken over the running of Dartmoor zoo and in truth knows very little of the goings on down there over the past 40 years, the previous owners however were there through out and both the wife and son appeared in the recent documentary giving there accounts, there are also members of staff that have been there far longer than Ben that have done podcas

some parts of Wales are like another world mate? there's some big tracts of land ,full of stock that don't get many people on them,other than the farmers/mod?

Most of the sightings I'm talking about were before 2000 mate and most people never had moblies then and no cameras. I have pasted info on to GM of exacted location of the sighting a year /18 months ago and there was a sighting few miles away around the same time both black. I have shot hundreds of foxes mate and I'll be honest it was for money to make ends meet, I skined and sold their belts mate. Call were all finger on the side of the lips and hardly any body else doing back then. We could not keep up with phone calls wanting them culled. We never had one come up the light mostly

Bit of flooring for me today

Our place is same we run it an just pay council thay don't bother us can do what you like as long your not upsetting any plot holder

Mate I believe there has to have been some breeding as Big Cats that were seen in around 2000 would not be still around and I know of sightings in the Southhams ( South Devon ) since then. One such encounter I that happened about a year or 18 months ago a chap driving to work first light seen a Black big cat in a open gate way so put his vehicle in the gate way and watched it run up the field. He' a shooting man and angler who knows exactly what he was seeing. He would only tell of the account through my brother-in-law as he has a business and didn't want people to think he was lying or nuts.

The catering department has bin grafting non stop ,as consuming thousands of calories a second ,seems mandatory up here ?

Steak and Ale Pie and Mash. Cheers Arry

Got a decent photo for a change so thought I'd stick it on here. Beddy/whippet/grey. Must be saluki in him from previous generations. More of a (lure) courser than a rabbit catcher.

£2.50 breakfast were I’m working at the mo, you can have beans toms chips etc but that does me pricedper item ?

just before the rain comes ?

As I've said a few times, in this thread. The odd pairing over the years, yeah, very feasible. A thriving population of regularly breeding big cats, no. But just to put things into a bit of perspective, as to people banging on about pics off people's mobile phones, or whatever, and this is just my thinking, might be very wrong, but, weren't there more frequent sighting in the late 70's and early 80's, when due to the dangerous animals licence, there were more cats 'set free', and obviously a few escapees, add to the fact that NO-ONE would've been able to take a pic of one on their mobil

I don't think we will ever know the truth but I personally believe she decided to release the Pumas in a landscape she knew they could survive in. Would you admit you let them go as liability cases were going on about every thing. The area around Dartmoor Zoo and surrounding moor close by has been a place where a lot of sightings have taken place. I believe drawn to the scent of the Cats they have in captivity there. As said I'm not looking to justify any of this it's just my view after been given convincing accounts by friends and acquaintances I have met over many years. Cheer

I bought some Stilton from a Christmas market that is running at a famous stately home where I go loading. We all go and have a look around at lunchtime, I went back to the stall I bought the cheese from and said “ that cheese you sold me yesterday was mouldy “!! The face on her , some people have no sense of humour. ?

I agree entirely, mate ? England took the knee against the USA, but they didn't ! Isn't the USA where all that nonsense started ? Then the sight of a team representing England kneeling in front of an African team who didn't kneel, is, frankly, sickening . Are England the only team in the World Cup who are "taking the knee" ? Cheers.

One of the hobs decided 2 lay up at 5 foot abit late in the day

Rabbit stew and dumplings curtesy of these two. Dam dumplings caught on the edge but tasted fine

That's the spirit keith your out in the countryside doing what you love,goodman

Went to a mates shop for some catty ammo,he always makes me a coffee and gets the biscuits out as we have shared interests.He was telling me in the late 1980’s he sold milbro catapults for £1.75 ? went for a wander,missed two shots at squirrels,found a giant mushroom,and Nell McAndrew the TV personality jogged past,second time I have seen her out running.

There are feral cats every were these are all the result of pets that have been born for generations as pets yet they can revert to the wild in very short times all the sightings of the 80s were mostly released pets that were still learning but after Several generations of breeding they are now totally uk native, and don’t show themselves so much these animals will travel for several hundred miles on there travels so meeting a female is not impossible, i,ve offered to take foxdropper out in late April because I know of one area that I believe holds a female and at this time of year she seems t

A very strange set up...... she has three kids, born to a surrogate mother and sired by, I think, Triggers , from Only Fools and Horses, brother. Cheers.

The woman's seriously ill mate, does it really matter

Oh how I'd love a few days like that,.....great sport,well done

But can still buy poultry transport them about , we got one nob head on he got all his locked up but he been told ring defra an your kicked off

Cold crisp morning

Same here, at our Allotments people are still breeding, selling and trading everything from finches to turkeys ! I was at a bird sale recently, plenty of finches, canaries, budgies, etc, but quail weren't allowed. Seemed a bit daft as most of the lads that keep caged birds also keep quail, but the organisers said no poultry. Cheers.

We not locked down on our allotment really don't see point if there's an out brake with in 3 miles am to believe all stock in the zone get culled so locked up or not your stock gone

Very honest post that Arry. Appreciate it.

Love a bottle of port

Absolute shite

Up feeding early this morning before meeting a few members in the yard to go and see the old girl with a few gifts as it’s he 80th birthday tomorrow, she was a little overwhelmed as she didn’t know we knew it was her birthday, while up there I was talking with the shoot captain and he was saying we should bring up the subject of buying the shooting rights for the land, instead of paying rent each year ? this is something definitely worth discussing with her as both me and the captain get on really well with her, the only thing is, I’d want all the shooting which would mean forestry couldn’t sh
