  1. Joke.

    Posted

    A hunter was hauled before the courts for shooting a golden eagle, the judge making the point that golden eagles are protected asked "why on earth did you shoot it", the man replied "well it wasn't intentional, I was aiming for a rabbit and the eagle got in the way as I took my shot", "well what did you do with the eagle then" asked the judge? "well being a man of the land and not wanting to see it go to waste I ate it" A bit bemused the judge asked "well what does golden eagle taste like" the man answered "pretty much like SWAN really" BOOM BOOM.

     

    Made me laugh hope it does a few of you too :D

    Try DVD decrypter nice and easy to use, if the DVD is too large to fit a single layer 4.7gb then shrink it with DVD shrink. There are loads of copy programs out there, the two I mention are free and easy to use, I have been using them for years, its all what ya get used too. If you get stuck PM me and I will try help.

    I uploaded them to my site if you have problems finding them, they are both freeware so I am not breaking any laws :D

    It never gave me nightmares when my old man first taught me to neck chickens,

     

    necking them is the most humane way of dispatching them,you can feel the neck go.

     

    and its loads cheaper than buying a stunner that your only going to use now and again.

     

    cheers Millie.

     

    Would be a hell of a lot more than "now and again" hard for a six year old to wring a chicken neck too! Still gives me nightmares aswell, guess we are all different after all :D

     

    Thing is I am not asking how to dispatch chickens, I have been dispatching various poultry for over 30 years, I've even done cows, sheep, horses, I even got to do a donkey once, the only thing I have never killed is a pig I think! I have never been squeemish about killing any thing, I'm not so sick as to say I enjoy it but its got to be done or I turn veggie and I cant see that happening.

    Sorry mate, no straight up though, an axe is far more humane than electrocution.

    I have used this method a lot in the past mainly with geese and turkeys as they have thick necks, we only keep chickens now and I can do it by hand, the main point of getting one is so the kids can have more involvment in the whole process, axe and shooting is messy and probably put them off and give them nightmares.

    No worries though mate I should have explained a bit better to start with huh.

    We are looking into investing in a humane electronic dispathcher, have tried the manual ones but find them messy and not all ways humane.

    Have searched the net but get bored of adds for ebay etc, does anyone know of any where to purchase one cheaply?

    We have seen several but think the one with two electrodes applied to both sides of the head rather than the spike version would suit us best, if not too expensive!

    Thanks in advance :D

    That is a peice of art, but is there a laying box I cant see? We have been keeping chickens for years and find a laying box stuck out the back with a flip lid makes it easy to collect the eggs, chickens also like to lay in a comfortable peaceful position, I normaly make the laying boxes 1'x1' square they seem comfortable with that. You may have included one I cant see but just a thought if you didn't for the future. Nice bit of work all the same :D

    Thanks

    ys txt tlk dus my fking hed in 2. The unfortunate thing is, my mum's nearly 51 and SHE'S started doing it. When she texts me i always end up thinking she's some iliterate teenager and it take ages to translate what she's said. like some twisted game of countdown or summat, sorry, something.

     

    I know what you mean, my mum is 70 and takes longer to decipher her meaningless ramblings, I generaly have to phone her to ask what planet she is currently on.

    The "twisted game of countdown" made me laugh though cheers mate :D

    Hi, I just joined and am pretty new to forums. Thought I would introduce myself as advised. My name is Gav I live on the isle of lewis (top island of the outer hebrides), plenty of rabbits here as there are no foxes, the only predator really is mink but they are trapping them and dont see any, well I havent any way. The trouble is trying to get permission to shoot. The crofters here will gladly let you shoot geese (in season) on the crofts as they ruin the grazing for their sheep. I own a .22 Weihrauch hw95+walther 4-12x50, and wont shoot any thing that I am not prepared to eat, I do target practice just to keep my eye in though.

    I will be having a nosey round when I get the chance as we have a one year old who is a hand full, not easy at 40 (I know still having kids at 40 you would think I would have learned after the first, now six later ahhhh). :whistling:
