I use a fishing weight mould and can bang out more than enough ammo in very little time

Very little news about those 3 young white lads run over and killed by a ? Yet they can't wait to wave the racist radicalised banner when some looney decides to have a go back and throw Tommy Robinson in the mix as well, the libs are now so deeply seated in all walks of our life they will take decades to dig out,

Reality of global warming for apex predator
Greyman replied to THE STIFFMEISTER's topic in General Talk
I,m a slow writer -
Totally agree only way to get proper tips is to make them yourself, those things they shoot the turkeys heads clean off with are like scalpels, doubt even a swan would take that and they think they are rock hard

I can fill my freezer after an evening walk around the local shoots when all the guns have gone home, but as you say it's not visible to most so it don't matter, unlike a swan swimming round a local park with 2ft of arrow sticking out its back

How about piss off and don't speak to me as I find you a real sad act trying to be people's friend,s,you add nothing to anything and suck the life out of any thread you try to participate in, hope I have made my position clear though I doubt it will stop you as like most twats your skins like leather or you would notice the que at the back door everytime you walk in through the front one at your local???? wish we had a dickhead emoticon but that's the best I can do I,m afraid have a nice day -
Reality of global warming for apex predator

I expect the next line of the film is asking you for £3 a month as this is the thing to do at the moment, show a film of a polar bear in summer with the ice naturally melting all around it, then blame global warming and tell the sheeple they can halt it by sending £3 a month it's all total bollacks, no one told the masses a couple of years back when the ice caps grew by 16 percent or offered to pay back there £3 a month, nature is cruel when he goes down he will feed another bear for a few months but when you film it and show it out of context it's a real tug on the heartstrings and an easy w -
Best to put sling bow into YouTube mate and have a look on there, check out chief aj, he claims to have dropped a grizzly with one, don't know how true it is but plenty taking pigs with them and shooting targets, I can hit things quite consistently out to 20/25 yards but like all forms of primitive hunting the more you practice the better, I quite fancy making myself an atlatl this summer it's the ultimate in primitive hunting tech

Let us know how you get on with it mate, I keep trying different things but always end up back on tbg or 4.5 mm latex tube from China, a lot of people make a fuss about tbg being crap in winter but if you keep it in your pocket and only pull it out for a shot it's fine, -
Buying them is,nt the problem, they just are,nt very discreet to carry around, and everyone can't wait to phone the police in this country, but were there's a will there's a way

I,d say yes but it's not an instant thing, in periods of cold weather when the fires running all day if you point the fan at the door you can feel the heat making its way upstairs over the course of the day,they are also quite a good talking point as they generate enough electricity to run the fan motor once the stove hits 150,

That will be primrose mate ???

I don't think it's more likely, it's just what's available, Scottish wildcats like many others are quite a solitary animal until mating time so when it goes looking for a shag it don't care what colour pyjamas the girl is wearing, like any males of many species any holes a goal and as there are hundreds more feral/domestic types than pure breeds it's more likely to just breed itself out over a period of time, the experts claim there are less than 100 pure wildcats left so the chances of 2 pure ones meeting are rather slim especially when many farms up there are crawling alive with ferals that
-
I think it would just be a wildcat, the Scottish bit is just were its last remaining stronghold is, among all the other things I get to try and sift through, I have seen a stuffed wildcat that was killed in Dorset in recent times and as I said before it's the same cat that's running around in some of the more wild parts of Europe in reasonable numbers, house cats are just wildcats that learned years ago it was easier sitting round fishermen and eating scraps from the floor than hunting your own, the only thing that keeps them species specific is isolation, as we brought in domestics they bred
-
As a little aside from the big cats, I have a book somewhere called a highland year by Leigh McNally, he was a gamekeeper back in the day s they were considered pests and there are some good accounts of hunting wildcats with his terriers in there, some nice pics as well if your a reading type

So did I when I first read it, but it's to do with the offspring and how many they have, how many survive and how soon they start there own family if you had 2 rabbits in an enclosure and 2 cats in another the cat family would outgrow the rabbit family within a year, possibly to do with rabbits being a natural prey animal for everything and everyone to dine on and cats even domestic/ferals are still a decent preditor so would have a much higher survival rate, cats have a much longer lifespan than a rabbit so the one original cat can also still be pumping out kittens in ten years time when bugs

The bloke doing the Lynx project also runs a wildcat project up there as well, he goes round trapping and sterilising local feral,s because as said a lot of times cats are slutty and the biggest risk to the Scottish wildcat is its hybridised so much it's hard finding pure blood stock, but on a positive note it was once native all over England and is still native over much of Europe so though not a true jock the species is,nt as badly off as some suggest, cats are so promiscuous that one pair can outbreeda pair of rabbits over the course of a year

Most of the cats can and will interbreed but from observation I would say a jaguar is just to big and to specialised to be in the uk without being seen and causing big damage, melonism also clouds the water as many cats seem to revert to black, some people are of the opinion that England will end up with a species of its own due to small gene pools and hybridisation, As i,ve said before I,m not dealing with facts I,m trying to work things out without a manual or text book a lack of competition also makes them work differently here as there are no bears, wolfs or other preditors to disrupt th
-
Your dead right mate except Jaguars, the first three are general hunters and all three thrive in multiple situations usually unnoticed by people, the jag is a specialist hunter and the third biggest cat,it would struggle to survive un noticed for long, I have seen several pictures of cats that have the size but not the appearance of the three you mention and the only conclusion is they are hybrids
-
You not really takeing in what's being said mate, could you find one fox in an area of 150 acres, ? Probably not without a lot of leg work and a small miracle, we only need around 200 cats in the whole of the U.K. To maintain a breeding population we are not in America were they are travelling the same trail every few days, if I miss my opportunity this winter it will be a year at least before I get the chance to get it again as that seems to be a normal cycle, I have one spot I,ve found two kills in two years on the same track, so next year a month before the last two kills I will put up a c

He,s in his 80s mate and was asleep when it happened it's the authority's saying it was a cat, if you have the money and the inclination any cat is still easily available, like the bloke who lost the clouded leopard recently, there are still lots of them bringing things in it just requires stricter paper work and the accommodation has to be in a inner and outer fenced enclosure and have 24 hour cctv and things like that, the serval is the pet cat at the moment for those after a big cat without so much hassle also think domestic X servals will be flooding onto the market next when the £12000 bu

We have a few contacts in America that help with what we do, one fella that has been using camera traps as a full time job for 25 years in the Rockies has had 1000s of mountain lions on his traps but has only ever glimpsed 2 in the flesh in that time and as I,ve said before the population is massive in the places they are filming in comparison to a tiny population here, so if you forget there are a few cats here and had an area of land roughly 150 miles square with one fox living there, it would be a massive undertaking to find that one fox and cats are much more stealthy, also as I've mention

I think I,ve worked out who you are, are you mr Ben, from the children's program of my youth ??
