There's a plank of wood over a stream that would have been the way to the pens in years gone by its now almost reclaimed by the woods but is used as a crossing point for the badger fox,, roe and munti,s that live in the woods his shelter was about 20 metres in from it and only a few feet off a major run leading to it so I expect it got quite lively as night fell, ?

Fair play to your mate that's special, I fly fish for pike it's exciting as feck if you can't afford to go after the trevely, have also caught most other course fish on flys over the years including carp on imitation dog biscuits made from deer hair ?

If your new to it mate get a multi grip catty that takes tubes and flats like the wasp uniphox or the pro shot bloodshot, they are cheap enough not to worry about to much and are both good starters when you decide what your personal preference is and are,nt hitting chunks out of the forks buy something a bit special like a Romany customs catty or a bill Hayes pocket predator but remember a good catty won't make you a good shot that only comes from practice ?

as long as I can remember every kid only needed a forked tree branch and an inner tube to do damage and even kill the odd unfortunate bird, the old Denise the menace type characters always had one in the back pocket,very easy to conceal and cost nothing if you have to throw it so would be a really hard one to ban and then enforce a ban, the biggest improvement in modern catty shooting is not the catty,s but the abundance of 9-10-11- and 12mm ball bearings being sold for £10 per 1000 without them many would struggle to hit a barn door, I think air rifles will be first before they try to ban cat

Funny when I smashed all the showroom Windows through in a well known kitchen company,s head office with my heavy duty catty because they failed to pay me for my services I never even got a mention nor the following week when I went back and did all the new ones they had just fitted, I wonder if that counts as racial discrimination ?

Little update, sorry to go on but it did weird me out a bit which even I can't work out myself, any ways I think I,ve put it to rest now having found a small shelter in the woods there is no signs of anyone having slept in it but if you ran out the woods in darkness and panicked you would end up on the path in the same spot I found the bag, the square of mud was were a 25kgbag was laying that is now in the shelter indicating it has been moved in the last week so I,m happy that our bear gryl,s has done a runner soon after building his house but without unpacking his bag then dropped it on the

Unless it's vertical it's not making a lot of difference then we got to get back up the f****r afterwards, take up swimming or cycling your not a small lad and all you,ll do is f**k your joints up when you do hit your Autumn years

Looking for opinions on diablo slingshot
Greyman replied to jackals_arrow's topic in Catapult & Slingshot Hunting
Only you can answer that, but personally I,d take a flatband gangster grip catty all day over a Barnet find the tube a bit heavy but very easy to convert to a sling bow if you ever fancy one, if your unsure what your after have a look at catapult carnage on utube he does some good revues on most of the more popular makes cheers goodluck and welcome ? -
And 50,s when you concede that non of its coming back ?

Pretty much like you I,m on my iPad now but hate the amount of time it seems to consume from my life, I have a very basic pay as you go phone and this is the only forum or site I use apart from watching stuff on YouTube so I,m not massively dependant on gadgets I like older motors that don't need a computer to fix them and this little cottage in the brecons was my ideal of heaven no wifi, no phone Signal, water from a bore hole and the only thing I would change would be to replace the diesel generator with solar, if I was,nt fishing thl charity match this weekend I would be back over there enj

Well if bjs does get in the ring with demtres boo boo Andre as his next fight you may not have to wait that long mate, he,s a bit of a beast ?

My last old tipper, cost me £900 in 2011 sold for £200 when I pulled it out the ditch last year, it put £24.000 through my books during that time, best value for money motoring you,ll ever get ?
-
Well that's what I,m looking for in there, there have been a few sightings by the farm workers and the girls that ride horses, so maybe I,ll be sticking up pictures of a hollowed out human next ??
-
Right the bag is with the police, gave them the rough location and all my details( ouch ? ) said I would need to take them there personally or could show them on a map, very little interest filled in a form and gave me a receipt, have also gone back over the last week of local news to see if anyone was missing but nothing so hopefully just a failed extreme camping trip, it's quite surprising how long and cold a night out can be if your under prepared even at this time of year and the wood is alive with Munties and roe and some pretty large badger setts, so I bet the bum was twitching, anyway h

When you can tell me the location,? Never scam a scammer mate

It's mostly pretty cheap stuff mate, which is another reason I,m thinking wannabe bear gryls, I just don't want to see a sad story in six months if I could do something about it,

The wood is part of a big horse stables etc and has been planted with rides through for the horses no vehicles other than the lawn mower, it's only about 10/15 years old so most of the trees are only the size you can see and not really ideal for hanging, hope I,m not sounding to cold but this is my thought process, I searched the immediate area and there was no sign of anyone,( if you hurt yourself you would be near the bag) the farmer saw it there last night also saw no one,he had a dog with him and shouted but no reply,so if something bad has happened it's probably just a case of recovering

But I,m already deluded as I think they are here already and very few are ever seen and even less have ever attacked anyone, the main reason I,m keen on the release is because inevitably they will come into contact with others if I,m right and being tracked make,s it easier to witness, I,m a big believer in leaving nature to its own devices in general but can't see any problem,s with a hand full of cats to top up the gene pool already out there ??

No tent, tarp or any other form of shelter in the bag or the trees near it ?
-
Winter is coming good idea ??
-
If they had been I would have set up a trail camera on the body for when it came back ?
-
I,m suspecting someone watched bear gryls thought I could do that, then thought f**k that I,m off home when it started raining, the woods are private and not somewhere I ever see anyone else, but I,d hate to think I,ve left someone in there that may have been in a bad place and needed help, I may pop back later with the thermal and have a quick scan around just to put my mind at rest

Just been out for a nice walk loving the cooler weather when I come across a hikers backpack in the middle of the path, first 3 pics are the bag as I found it and the path looking in both directions, shouted and shouted for ten minutes, looked around for footprints, checked in the bushes for a tent, nothing, had a little look inside and it was damp showing signs of being there all night, so I,ve loaded up my Rucker on my front,dogs on leads and mystery Rucker on my back and headed back to the farmyard were my van is parked, as I get there I see the farmer and go over to tell him, he says it wa

I,m as dry as toast, if I had a million I could last without working for two or three lifetimes, but if I wanted to build an empire, that would be 4 average homes in Bristol outright purchase, roughly 15 percent in equity per year and around 5 grand a month in rent, that would do me nicely, what a mad world we live in when people are saying a million quid ain't enough,
