  1. They are far more secretive than the roe, Gloucestershire is heaving with them on the lamp and trail cams but very rarely encounter them with the dogs on a daytime walk occasionally rattle one along the dry ditch in the hedge bottom but they don’t like breaking cover and seem more nocturnal ?
  2. Just read a few comments and someone is claiming they had attacked several people and dogs and the owner was off his box, recon it’s best to find out the facts before pointing fingers but sadly the dogs only crime as always was the wrong owner
  3. Lovely looking specimen you have there mate good to see a decent bully nowadays same for yokel, get yourself a catty in your pocket, once you shoot one or two down for him he,ll soon get tuned in ?
  4. Misses goes into town on a Friday for shopping, so I got her to drop me off just before coming into civilisation and had a couple of hours wandering my way back across the flood plains, still lots of water on the ground saw a lot of shell duck had a really nice accidental run on a good hare, old boy done well for a 10 year old even got a few turns in, needed a good 10 mins in a wet ditch after but nice to watch eventually broke through a deer run back onto the towpath for the last few miles home also came across some fat fuk in a mobility scooter stuck in the mud, tried to get a few pics of it
  5. Oh the irony ??? even more ironic this old fellas encounter occurred in the same place as our own leading sceptics planned trip to stalk a sika I believe??
  6. The swans nest in the background was attacked last week the penn was injured and eggs taken I set a camera up and only got a vixen with cubs on it though I suspected a water born attack from the otter was more likely, a couple of days back I found the remains of a nice Rudd in the same spot and yesterday morning this pike, river is carrying a lot of colour and extra water which is normally the time the otter comes in but there is still a strong smell of fox near the pike remains ???
  7. Just came across these fellas few little bits of good evidence, think Ireland is a good place to get involved as they still have or did up until recently the rights to buy these animals as pets plus your on a smaller land mass so should be quite achievable a bit like the Zanzibar leopard that forest gallant traced we get a few on the podcast from Ireland ?
  8. Yes Eddie I think you probably are
  9. Bit of sun and a few carp have finally shown up in the marina, boys just had this one on the most basic of gear a hook and lump of bread 14.08 common off the front of my boat still more showing ?
  10. Not really mate we had our first positive hit of leopard dna in 2012 in the same county but government just raised there game in covering it up, it’s very interesting how many of the naysayers claim not to trust there government until they are reinforcing there own opinion on a subject like this, ??

    Dog shit

    Not a fan of putting shit in polythene bags but do do it in the marina or areas were kids etc play, so I have a small area of grass at the end of my pontoon that I consider to be our garden we’re we have barbies and the grandkids can play safely but lately I have got a midnight shitter as every morning I come out to find several piles of dog shit I’ve cleared up 4 piles of someone else’s cold shit this morning and am getting a little pissed off so last night in the dark I hid a camera in the bird feeder over looking the lawn I will switch it off in the morning and on in the evening until I se
  12. To be honest the lad was not all that taken with the place mate it’s just to say you been there and caught fish, but planes taking off and landing every 2 mins and it’s quite heavily stocked now, unlike the old days of boating round an over grown pit to find a small gap in the foliage to fish from and wondering wether your motor was going to still be in one piece when you got back, no body wants to pioneer today all want instant results, one of my best mates was the last person to catch Mary when she was the biggest carp in the country sadly she died not long after and he got so much shit fro
  13. Like the Cotswolds mate large expanses of open wild land close to big city’s were places people let them go, it’s why there are small clusters the length and breadth of the country, the land dictates wether they stay or move on look at old maps of an area and it’s easy to see
  14. Lovely bit of sirloin, chips, onion rings and mushrooms for me tonight ??
  15. Could have had my pit for a score, but in reality it’s just emperors cloths type shit, was driving up the motorway a while back listening to something on the radio were some artist sold his art for millions but the purchasers were then given a choice wether to collect there piece or have the bloke burn it and quite a few chose the latter, crazy rich fools
  16. Recon round one goes to Ukraine
  17. Thank you for that mate much appreciated,
  18. Nothing exciting I,m just a bit of a technotard so am after a little help, my son went to the famous wraysbury lake this weekend fishing nothing moosive to report but there is a nice little video of the weekend on Facebook and as I normally post pics of his catches up in the view from your swim section on the fishing thread I was wondering if someone would be good enough to try and do it for me, this is a screen shot of the site and the video in question thank you in advance if someone could assist
  19. Same as that mate £50 up the local abattoir and I can feed half the marina with good food, or get two mediocre meals in a pub,with no drinks it’s a no brainier really, have done £500 on a 7 course sea food meal in a lovely restaurant before and don’t regret it for a moment but it’s not me on a regular basis
  20. Well I had an absolutely lovely weekend, some watched the king and wept some never, but we all had a great few days in good company with plenty of fine food and beverage, never felt any different when it was all over and my bank balance doesn’t seem to have been affected by all the pomp and ceremony so I,m glad it happened, hope those of you who chose to sit indoors with the curtains shut posting memes and crying not my king had an equally enjoyable weekend, roll on the next one??
  21. Austin Texas to south Devon for lunch, only two people I know of capable of them kind of feats and one is still here, the other prefers kebab meat and chips ???.
