  1. That's got to be a once in a million lifetimes pic ?
  2. You just reminded me of this ?
  3. Always carry a catty, I was always wary of rabies, one of my kids was bitten once and had to have his jabs.
  4. If we could only turn the clock back ?
  5. His books were incredible,if you have spare time stick this on the TV ?
  6. I haven't read his books to be honest mate, I read big game books as a kid because they were a form of escapism, the guy piers is interviewing has lived a life less ordinary, piers is funny in that clip "shot them to death" there would have been a far bigger outcry if he had just "shot them to wound".
  7. What's the best trap for groundhog and otter, #220?
  8. Just seen the store has replacement snares for these, I am thinking it's because there's sightings in this neighbourhood and nuisance animal officers use them.
  9. One sarmat missile means minus one great Britain.... Putin ramps up nuclear threat: 'We don't brag, we will use them’ METRO.CO.UK He said the response to any country interfering in Ukraine will be 'lightning fast'
  10. Got a pair of Lowa Tibet,would like another pair of Lowa as the soles are going, worn them on 3 continents and put some miles on them, great boots, just been into the store and there's 3 different styles, anyone used any of them?
  11. Venturing into the white man's grave to earn a precarious living hunting tusks, I read one account of a bloke seeing elephants from a train, pulled the emergency cord to hop off and shoot a couple, I am sure he left a couple of natives there to cut out the tusks and arranged for them to be collected on the return journey.
  12. I read his elephant hunting book years ago, got it in storage I think ?
  13. Good pics, loads of groundhogs about, must have seen 20 today.
  14. Please do, I used to read books like that at a sitting, a different era.
  15. Do they give an account of themselves against a dog? I walked past one 5 minutes ago,they look docile?
  16. I would pass on the whisky, but the rest sounds fascinating, was it Karamojo Bell?
  17. For some, especially the dentist who killed Cecil, I think its about the experience, everything, there's just been a guy here transiting through the city to catch a flight south, been up past Nunavut, lived out on the ice for 10 days I think in -30 to hunt a polar bear, can't even take the skin back home as its non importable, he did it for the experience, the first nation guides took the animal, they sold the tag.
  18. I read a book as a kid, Death in the long grass maybe?The author told a story of a hyena taking part of a natives face off as he slept, the swahili name for them is fisi? Loved those type of books.
  19. Very interesting, hope you get him on deer.
  20. 350,000 USD buys a lot of wildlife ranger hours, the end justifies the means.
  21. I think without hunting dollars in some 3'rd world countries the animals would be greatly reduced in number quite quickly.
  22. I have actually been "Treed" by a rhino while walking, had two charges, one was a bluff but we still ran to a tree, second we got up the tree and the rhino snorted and stomped around under it.
