Couple more foxes
Squirrel_Basher replied to Squirrel_Basher's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I was out the other night ,not foxing more of a reconnaissance and counted 12 foxes off the country lanes around me .I have the shooting on all of it .I don’t shoot non problem foxes unless asked to do so .My tally would double if I just went round foxing for no reason . -
In that film GM ,what’s your take on the wild boar ?

Mines strictly by choice mate ? -
Numbers 112 and 113 were hard won to be honest .The full moon dosnt best work with the hunter I’ve found but these things have to eat and both eventually came to a deer head I had staked out .A small shoot near me with no keeper to speak of just a farmer feeding birds having trouble with a few foxes taking pheasants first light .Somebody else had apparently had a go but without success .Been on my list for a while but time and other commitments meant it had to take a back seat . The shoot borders a large estate where they hammer the foxes incessantly so I’m guessing these foxes had seen and

Been there myself Ken ,camped underneath Kilimanjaro with wild dogs snicking all night around the camp ,lions roaring and a she leopard and kit playing noisily by the washroom ,just the other side the fence in daylight . Those sounds are engraved on the memory as are the elephants that silently appeared to water whist we ate evening meal .Priceless .Lions came in after ,the icing on the cake . Hope to get back there when this shit is over ,If .

Oscars now there’s a blast from the past .Some exquisite pussy there mate ?

One person has been the driver on this thread ,without him it would have gone the way of many other threads mate . I directed any negativity at the thread not the man UNTIL it became apparent he was unable or unwilling to answer the simplest of questions from myself and many others . Some comments of mine are meant to be cringeworthy in-line with some quotes from you know who . He has put himself forward as the go to expert on the subject ,intentionally or otherwise but dosnt seem to have much to share or able to answer questions I feel that would back up the continuous push to

Fishing at shearwater at night and hearing the lions first light is a memory I will never forget .Made the trip a lot better if the carp weren’t having it .Leopards call as well but without being sarcastic ,I havnt heard one nor know anyone who has .

I wasn’t ,had it coming but those who also name called seem to have missed the two day ban .Funny that isn’t it .

Trouble is Francie ,will those who abstain then create when or if they get the virus .Its a no win for everyone unless the population is vaccinated .I fully endorse the right to say no though .

Any crane hire will involve either their agent doing a weight / distance calculation or your self signing a declaration you understand any risks .Id say you are going to need a 50 ton crane to swing that boat from loader to canal .
-
You wouldn’t want a crane to travel from A to B mate .Costs more than the lift hire .Local firm either end .see post above

11ft requires a road escort not police so save on that .Poilce escort is priced at £27 a Mile ,ouch . If it’s going into a marina they will have lifting facilities so no need for crane your end .We brought a 40 ft container from Leeds to Swindon which cost £3.200 all in .Container was 2.5 g cheaper in Leeds and much better spec .

Right ,so from now on we roll over and just let shit happen do we Sean or do we say whenever we see something that dosnt fit well with oneself . Your the first to jump in and say your piece whenever you see something amis .I ain’t no different . Hopefully we will see some EVIDENCE that will change the doubters forever or the thread will be the laughing stock it is thus far . Is it too much to ask for one clear pic or a nice vid ,conclusive evidence of cat kills and spoor to back up what is apparently so common as to guestimate 500 breeding large cats here .Until we see these t

This will drudge on until eventually we treat it as normal .Whether there’s a conspiracy or not ,changes have been made that are here to stay .Cash will be a thing of the past . News on at the moment ,says police Avon and Somerset have cracked down on illegal gatherings .Fines and few arrests .Where were they when the BLM shite happened .

Mate has a lambretta gp 200 which is worth £6 ,000 at moment .Mint condition mind .

Cage trap the cats soak them with water for a day release and none return .

You have a very good firm on the doorstep in Gloucester ,Smiths haulage .Nationwide service .Crane either end £450 . Haulage £1500 .Disclaimer either end to sign .

Well put sandy

Saw them at the highland wildlife centre myself along with lynx and wolverine . When you see lynx in the flesh you realise how unmistakeable they or other large cats would be in our countryside.

I manage a small closed herd of fallow for a local College and the bucks are at it proper .Belching ,fighting and scraping .Had to cull one of the old bucks that had been pinned upside down against the wire .When I’d shot him the master buck ran at him and pushed him 5 m along the ground before he died . Last year he was fully palmated bu5 fish tailed this year .Estimated age 8 years .
