  1. Sadly neither spelthorne archers nor Quicks offer high angled targets mate,but I am sure I will manage,if it's obscured or I don't feel confident I will try and angle round or some guide allow the cat to re-tree in an easier location,don't know how that works but I have read about it,Brit ranges are sterile.
  2. Old guy,recluse living with his sister in a ramshackle caravan,not far from Heathrow airport,the family had been tied up,terrorised and robbed before when their mother was still alive.Two or three years back some lads decided to tie the siblings up and rob them,went to the caravan with zip-ties,masks etc,old guy shot one dead.....And he was found not guilty of murder
  3. His story was badly scripted and badly acted,no Oscar for him this time.
  4. Well done,new addition to the family is always a happy time,the next generation ?
  5. I actually love the UK but I sometimes regret moving back here from Hong Kong,but I have no stress here,i should be in Canada in a couple of months time during the summer,one of my kids,maybe both will end up there,great country.But its good to have lived abroad,always better to have been out of the box looking in than inside just looking out ? I think you have the right attitude ginger beard,spread your wings and see whats out there.
  6. They do the same with leopard in Africa mate.
  7. That's the way mate,lifes too short to stick somewhere your not happy with and you never know the opportunities that await you elsewhere,best of luck in whatever you decide to do ?
  8. Just read a nat-geo revised estimate going off a cam-trap survey theres probably 40 leopard living in the city,and due to preying on dogs probably save 100 lives a year as rabies is prevalent in the citys stray dog population.
  9. Yup,but the seem to have switched their attention to dogs over the last few years estimated to take between 800-2000 street dogs a year,there was a solicitor who was killed by a leopard,high-profile,following his death there were calls to rid Bombay (I hate Mumbai,it was Bombay when I was there so Bombay it is) of the cats totally.
  10. 20-25,000 people per square km and the highest density of leopard anywhere in the world,adapted to city living,its estimated theres anywhere between 25-35 leopard living in the city at any given time.
  11. I remember misappropriating Hugh Falkus book on sea trout from the library when I was at school just to learn about flies and stuff
  12. 24.5 million,its a shit-hole of epic proportions,the leopards are well known,televised.
  13. How do we access that info?
  14. Stunning bow mate,drew it today at quicks,smooth is the word ? its in optifade sub-alpine so I am going to order the sight and accessories from the states so I get a colour match,i was in the archery store earlier speaking to the instore tech guy,he is going to fine tune it and set it up ?
  15. Hope you have as much luck as these guys Ted ?
  16. Baited ted?Seen some decent bear hunts advertised in sask Skin and skull back to the UK mate,i have been told cat meat is incredible,i have eaten household cat in the PI,it was edible but not cooked so good so I wouldn't have called it incredible but puma is supposed to be great
  17. Yes mate,dogs and hopefully find a cat to tree or bay,not about killing the cat,its the cumulative experience,dogs singing etc.Some of those airbows are incredibly powerfull jim shockey shot a north American bison with one.
  18. Night time is the right time.
  19. Probably a hundred such coins just under the surface in the remains of a broken storage pot,yours was brought up by the plough to show you where to search ?
  20. This kid reckons they are legal. I prefer the Australian ones though.
  21. Keep us informed as his case progresses,if they are legal I will get one
  22. Sadly we aren't even trusted enough to have a blow-gun in the UK never mind an assault rifle.
