Seems like straight, guy who unfortunatly stands by his convictions to an unacceptable degree. You did well t o report him and follow it up . . The positive purpose of Law is to protect everyone going about their reasonable everyday business and prevent unacceptable extreme behaviour.The police might not always take trap interference too seriously but if you keep making reports it makes their unsolved crime figures look very bad .If however only one person is responsible for all these similar crimes when they do eventually act and clear up several unsolved incidents in one go it is good res

Upon eating rabbit for the first time
comanche replied to BlueCoyote's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
To be honest rabbit does'nt have a lot of taste unless its been feeding around wild garlic or similar.What it does have is a distinctive texture-very firm,very smooth muscle. The advantage is that it will take on the flavour of anything you care to soak or cover it in.The disadvantage is that unless you have a tiny fryng -bunny you just cannot rush the cooking process. So many people say ",Tried it ,too chewy,did'nt seem cooked through".or similar.Then admit,understandably, that they only cooked it for an hour and a half because that's what the cook- book said.Probably used a recipe for sof -

Right.Don't know if I have to be Donator to give something away.I'm sure someone will tell me and I'll understand if the post is deleted. This has nothing to do with erotic dancers or East European migrant workers .It is a genuine offer.I have a pole lathe that I'd happily give to someone (preferably local ,preferably to a youngster or for educational use).Don't get too excited ,it's just a basic 2"x4" set-up ,with double- runner bed ,"A frame" ends and you need to find your own pole! It breaks down into car-boot sized pieces that slot together for assembly.Probably not worth coming far fo

Chap dies and at the gates he asks what the chances are of catching-up with his old mate John Smith who passed- over just three days earlier."Some hope!" declares St Peter,"Do you know how many Smiths kick the bucket every day?". Peter mellows when he sees how sad and lonely the old guy looked."Ok ,we may be able to trace him.What were his last words?". "That's easy", says the dead guy,"I was comforting his wife as John lay dying and old John fixed me with an evil stare and said that if I so much as touch his misses he'd turn in his grave." "Bloody Hell!".cried Peter,

My daughter's grown-up offspring will turn to their Mum and ask,"Tell us about Grandad again .What did really happen to him?". "Well", she'll begin ,"No one really knows but they found one of his boots in Alaska ..with tooth marks from a grizzly bear.Mind you the old sod had to go sometime .He was in his nineties!"

Fenns= well tried ,effective, easier +safer to set for the inexperienced .Come in two sizes.To be used legally and work humanely and effectivly they must be set in tunnels with the correct minimal clearance between tunnel roof and the jaws of the trap when closed.This minimises the chance of the prey animal being thrown partially clear and foul caught. Body grips =great traps once you have learned to handle them but not an "entry le

No respect for the countryside or themselves.I agree ,mindless to**ers who should have their rods and their litter stuffed up their back passages so far it chokes them. Round here we have equally thick -headed tw*ts.Not content with poaching private waters(something that to youngsters is almost a right of passage I suppose )they leave crap behind as proof ...

To catch the fox a cage-trap is the obvious option if it really comes to it...As to whether the fox caught the fish.I thought dedicated Koi ponds tend to be deep so a fox would have to be quick and firm-jawed to nab one on the surface.Not impossible but a bit of a specialist party-piece for old Ginger. If the pond is of the garden golfish type then he might have a better chance of scooping one out or getting a bite in.After all ,foxes hunt frogs and eat frogspawn so they are not adverse to wet feet. More likely ,as everyone says, either the fish jumped out in excitement or due to weather/wat

Recipe for Pike anyone?
comanche replied to SportingShooter's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
Fish cakes are a safe bet or cut into steaks and bake in foil or deep fry .They smoke OK.Picking round the bones is all part of the game. Grilled or baked perch and gudgeon tossed in flour and fried like sprats are far better fish for eating. -
June 16th ,the magic day. I'll snatch a couple of hours before work . Be hunched with me little black dog under a bridge on the Arun .Freelining big worms down to the chub and roach I've been watching for the last few weeks.Of course on Monday I'll probably find they've mutated into a pack of cute but tiny gudgeon. Or even worse, "anagram fish" (crap) Good luck to anyone else up to the same.Can't beat the swish of a cane rod

Gary Glitter,little did we know! The Alice Cooper Schools Out LP that looked like school desk and opened to reveal a pair of knickers and a bit of chewing gum.......Still got me Thin Lizzy tee shirt from 74 and me well road- rashed motorbike jacket with Bad Company burned into the leather .Just about still get into them as well..I've obviously had worms for the last 35 years!

A slightly obvious observation. If you were really worried about Weils disease would you have handled the dead jay and its feathers.

What a really kind lady...I expect she treats all her trades-people the same .Forget the artificial lubrication .Simply wait until she's "paid " the milkman,window -cleaners etc .. Everyone say"UUURGH".

Yeh and I bet that if she did do a bit of freelance circuit training round someone elses dog you'd be genuinly apologetic Like you I have to be use a bit of fore-sight when I take my older dog out. Since his attack the old s*d can be very quick to warn-off any dog that so much as gives him a funny look.Still you get people saying "Don't worry he's friendly",when their tiny,bum-sniffing, and dangerously bite-sized pooch refuses to leave my dog alone even after the growl that says "That , my littleDougal dishrag was fair warning". It does seem that a lot of old time dog -lore ,the unspoken s

Sadly for every athelete who wants to compete honestly in the sport they love there are hundreds of dodgy characters riding on their backs who will corrupt the ethos of fair play for financial and political gain . This starts at a local level. Example .The Counciller /developer who decided we needed a hotel on a bit of my town's green space .Shortly after this application it was anounced that the swimming -pool next to the proposed developement site had been approved for Olympic training Then there is the Chinese government.A political system genuinly and desperatly seeking acceptance

The lady obviously comes from the modern school of dog training .The pupils of which will spot you and your obedient dog strolling along or doing a few retrieves and allow their dog to belt 100yards towards you,bowl your dog over and take great offence when you steady your own pup in a decent sit and stay and ask them to call their dog back. Usual response is ,"Oh come on let them have a play together". This translates as " My dog won't come back when I call it so I'm going to let it spoil your dogs steadyness too!"". My old collie lurcher was permanently crippled by a pack of just such dog

And do you know something Kay ? To this day nothing I cook for myself tastes quite right unless it is well-done,falling off the bone or covered in a patina of charcoal.Except toast.Maybe that's because all the burnt toast went to the horse .I never had a chance to get a taste for it!

Ginger ,the milkman's horse . He was there from the time I was old enough to notice things . .As a toddler I was allowed to feed him the burnt toast.Even then Mum was making a name for herself with culinary pyrotechnics and Dad reckoned Ginger was the fattest horse in Sussex because of it! Sadly one morning he collapsed of bloat and had to be cut out of the shafts.But this was before he reached our house so Mum was'nt to blame..The milkman had to then pass his driving test so he could do the round. Those Swappets were great too.Little cowboys ,Indians and knights with tiny intechangable wea

Had a mate used to swear bullshit was good for getting your end away but whether that was for lubrication or just for chatting girls up I'm not sure.

I'll be going .What do you reckon is best Saturday or Sunday?.Never been to the main show but simply because by sheer chance I actually for the first time in years had an urge to buy the CMW because my local garage started stocking it. Mind you I think it is a repeat of one I read about twelve years ago with the juicy bits taken out I did score a couple of their free tickets though so it was'nt 2 quid wasted.Bring back Steve on Stuffing.

223?usable but probably a bit too much gun and a bit limiting as reguards noise ,backstops and range for regular bunny bashing . . So as people are saying ,a .22 rim -fire with sub-sonics for the rabbits. Bruno bolt would be my choice and it would not cause familiarity problems when you picked -up your bigger tool for deer- shooting.Might as well go for a 243 simply because (as Snap shot said,"keep your options open.")you may well end up having oppertunities to shoot deer other than muntjac or in other parts of the country in the future.
