  1. My thoughts exactly just managed to get my breathing back under control? what a game ??
  2. I get quite a few, these are just outside the french doors
  3. Bad news for the barbel mate, the Bristol Avon has been decimated by them, we will have to get the rods out before the seasons over, a lot of the captive bred otters that get released round here get hit by cars, if you get the vet to scan it some of them have a chip in ?
  4. I bump into the odd person mist netting and ringing birds when I,m on my travels always stop for a chat, surprising what’s about when you sit quietly in a wood, saw a guy catch a couple of pied fly catchers a couple of years ago in a wood I,ve walked in for years and never seen one ?
  5. Quite like that to tofimo Lopez but he needs to stop calling out the likes of Loma and concentrate on making his self a prospect also his old,man/trainer is a most obnoxious man and will do more harm than good for his sons career ?
  6. Was out in the snow yesterday saw loads of goldfinch,s on the teasel heads, they used to paint sticky stuff on them when I was a kid to stick to there feet then just pick them off and put in the aviary, used to be lots of people kept British finch,s and mules when I was a boy don’t seem as popular today, nice to hear your old man is into it ???
  7. I guess if your a catch and release, bell ringing, vegan, mushroom tripping long netter you have a lot to say and not many people that want to listen, I recon he,ll be in bed sleeping off last nights over excitement so we should be safe for a while ??
  8. Without being funny could he not put a wide strap around his lower forearm and the rod handle to take up some of the weight, I have a two handled bass fly rod that I use for pike and carp it is probably more beneficial when your playing a bigger fish than for casting, but in truth the only thing you can guarantee to fail is the thing you don’t attempt to do, so if your mate really wants it he will find a way good luck ?
  9. Well you must have dried some out and ate them last night as you must be tripping to talk that much shite
  10. Feck me I read 6 pages about the most expensive sheep worrier in Britain and it’s loyal owner skipped a few pages and Ketchum,s got a ten grand bounty on his head, only on thl ???
  11. No it’s this morning, I,m a bit technically lacking so I took a picture of the screen on my camera with my iPad so I could upload it, you,ll get used to it if you stick around and welcome onboard
  12. It’s the same old shite, appointing people because of there race or gender instead of there suitability for the job like an interest in wildlife and the countryside, but like yourself I enjoy the programme and just block out the plebs, still have a soft spot for macala though ?
  13. My lads are doing groundwork on a site up cribbs, sent home till Monday mate, I done the same as you ??
  14. Then maybe your old man would be a good person to ask, everyone I knew that were into pigeons have knocked it on the head due to the amount of perigrine falcons that now live near us, but as I said for many years an old friend that used to run a local pigeon club would drive to Heathrow pick up some Indian dudes take them round for a few day,s buying eggs ? then drop them back to Heathrow all expenses paid and a nice wedge when they were sorted, laws may have changed or may vary for different species,as I,ve said I don’t no why or how, never really got into pigeons apart from shooting the fly
  15. I know it’s not minus 40 here but is there anybody else that loves this weather, I bailed from work at 12 and have spent 4 great hours out with the dogs I really love it and would like it to get much worse, or am I just looking an even bigger oddball, hoping to get snowed right off tomorrow so I can get up and out early, ???
  16. Was thinking a ring at the next fishing match, so anyone with a beef could come in for a leveller whilst earning a few quid for charity, then have a beer and shake hands round the Barbie later, you could zig zag down country on your way picking up any wanna be pugilists for a very reasonable fare, winner winner chicken dinner ???
  17. Question for the hunters here, does the frozen ground hold scent better or is there just more scent as the animals have to be out more to find food, ???
  18. An old mate of mine has been selling pigeon eggs to Indians for years, don’t know why or what the law is I just no he does and for strong money they have to be from the right birds of course with strong racing pedigrees maybe someone more enlightened than me can tell you why ?
  19. A good little tip I was given recently for taking plastercasts is to carry a can of spray paint and spray a coat of paint into the track before taking the plaster cast I,ve never bothered myself but a few people I no do carry the equipment and cast prints, we do work with vets university,s and a zoo near you so we do have access to a lot of good samples for comparison,it’s not all just scruffy old oddballs, we just tend to be the feet on the ground ??
  20. I believe game keeper John has a short film on utube explaining the law on catty,s in detail, but if it’s any consolation I,m 57 years old and have catty,s in most of my coats in the door pocket of my van and always have think it’s more what you do with a catty than the catty itself that makes it an offensive weapon rather than a toy, ???
  21. My sister had a 35m eos and yes all the lenses are compatible with her new dslr eos, the boy got his for £12 a month from curry,s if you don’t fancy shelling out a big lump in one go, all the lads on the boys syndicate use the same camera and a lot of the pictures are used in magazines and the website, he told me if you want it for self takes a fixed 50m lense is the one to get??
  22. My boy has a eos 750D which is apparently the best one at the moment, I,m a point and shooter so not my bag, but if I remember rightly there is a newer model but it’s not as good for the extra dollar apparently, he,s into his fishing and uses it mostly for trophy shots but you can sync it with your mobile phone and use the phone as a remote you can also email the photos straight off the phone here is one he sent me within a few minutes of capture ??
  23. Cold weather bringing in some good stuff just been chasing a gold crest round a holly bush trying to get a pic, I never do mine on time but will spend an hour this week and do it ?
  24. The same thing happens with racing pigeons leaving the country, much easier to smuggle a box of eggs and hope a few hatch than trying to fill your coat with live birds
