  1. Depp played a good part.
  2. It was British Columbia mate,biggest cats are in the North like BC and Alberta (but hunts have the biggest price) smallest cats are way down places like Argentina.I ate normal cat a few times,wouldn’t turn my nose up at mountain lion.
  3. I had a quick wizz around picking bits of fluff and her hairs up but she just said exactly the same thing so I can’t say I miele’d the sitting room. I just knew we should have brought one of the maids with us? That’s a BIG cat he has,I will be content with any,not holding out for a big Tom,any reasonable cat will do,it’s the experience,listening to the dogs sing.
  4. Got the Himalayas first mate,two weeks time,going back to blights end of next week for two days to collect my trekking gear,wondering whether to do the helicopter Everest flight or not,my missus has just told me to Hoover up however,not quite as exciting.
  5. Believe it or not I have done that on a number of occasions,it always worked itself out ? Not Canada,the states,I am sure you will see the pics ?
  6. I know what you mean about needing it mate.I wouldn’t mind some peacock shooting or wallaby spotlighting,possum,trapping,big eel fishing they have,looking forward to the pics,,I think it’s going to Ben a fantastic experience.
  7. Just been watching a tahr hunt on TV,the scenery is pure lord of the rings stuff,incredible,is your trip finalized mate?Are you flying into the mountains?Interested in seeing how you get on as it’s a very affordable trip.
  8. Unusual character,pity the film wasn’t longer and followed him on a short journey just to give a deeper insight into his life,thanks Mr Wilkes.

    Alaska:

    Wolf gets you a guaranteed $750 but polar bears where the big moneys at ? $2200 per bear.
  13. Yup,I have watched a few of them,the police normally seem remarkably civil.
  14. There's image stabilization on this Balaur,no more Shakey pics.

    Alaska:

    Loads of trapping magazines on the shelves,people do make a good living at it,but I could imagine it’s hard,some of the professional trappers have huge territories to cover. http://www.trapperpredatorcaller.com/ http://www.trapperspost.com/ http://www.furtakersofamerica.com/ http://www.nationaltrappers.com/ http://trappersworld.com/ http://www.wolfernation.com/pcgstore/?category=Long-Liner-Times
  16. Saw this in the store earlier,there's a reason people who live in grizzly country have large Calibre revolvers strapped to their waists rather than carry cans of spray.

    Alaska:

    I have seen anywhere from 50-200k Canadian dollars depending upon size of territory and facilities etc,I read of one in BC that sounded great with a large number of wolves.

    Alaska:

    You can buy traplines,there’s a few for sale at the moment,you get cabins and X amount of hundreds square miles to trap,incredibly hard life I would imagine,fur is big business though.
  19. I was in weybridge high street a month or so back,couple of women and a bloke all with lurchers collecting for a lurcher rescue/rehoming charity,apparently there’s a large number of lurchers get dumped locally,times are changing sadly,I think the 1980’s were the golden years for having a mouch with a dog.
  20. What phone did you use for that pic balaur?Captures the colours well. Havent used it on sunrise or sunset yet Born,if I see a vivid one I will take a few snaps.
  21. Watch till the end...................
  22. Huawei p20 pro mate,just messing around with it at the moment,haven’t had time to figure out all the pic settings,but it’s ok.
  23. I think it’s the vivid colour setting that makes the pics look processed @Born Hunter i took these today while wandering around.
