Scariest thing is who in their right mind would let a tattooist spend hours rubbing his hands over their butt cheeks

Mate at work asks ladies to show their cleavage on web-cam But asking guys to show you pictures of their bums Thats a new one on me

I am surprised JOEB,its normally a decent area I usually visit fisheries in the wee hours and dont outstay my welcome :ph34r: ,I guess I have been lucky so far

[Bowhunting]

macem , i have thought about geting into bow shooting can you recomend the best way to go about it and what sort of set up would be best for a complete novice

Foxshot,choosing a bowhunting setup is a very,very personal thing,bit like choosing a woman,dog,house or car,whats right for me is probably not right for you.For any tyro my best advice as always is get along to your local archery shop or club and test a variety of weapons.

Ask someone in the know to measure your up for draw weight and length,then the choice is yours for axle-to-axle length,brace height,single,double,or cam-and-a-half,and all this before you hit the minefield of accessories like release-aids,quivers,rests,stabilizers,silencers etc

Gary Bogner ?Sent you a PM,appreciate that

[Bowhunting]

I sent you the link before,thought you would have had the book long time ago Sure I have seen it for sale on Amazon I cant get hold of any Bowhunting dvd's mate,skint as a skint guy,in a skint place,on a skint day in skintsville But if you ever fancy delving into the murky world of counterfeit DVD's I have quite a few slasher derbies I wouldnt mind exchanging :whistle:

[Bowhunting]

Darcy,you been reading "Grand Slam" again Thats a bad habit Makes a guy think of selling the house,sticking the kids in an orphanage(or flogging them on e-bay to raise more cash),kissing the wife goodbye,and heading off

Each and every single f***ing year I set aside money for a bowhunt(cougar is my dream),always promising myself "This is the year",but without fail I waste the money either diving or visiting the world cockfighting championships,never mind,theres always...........................Next year

[Big Cats for hunting]

Havent seen that footage but heard of people stateside who use Servals and Caracal for hunting small game

[Snaring legalities?]

Seen several fox jump my sisters 6 ft pinelap fence without missing a stride,know of another which regularly enters a garden via a sloping roof then hops down onto the wall and into the garden,its true proaction beats reaction,and improving your fencing may just keep them out,but now and again theres no alternative but to remove one

[Bowhunting]

Its normally $50,000 USD for a polar bear hunt,your camp is usually a 2 day bobsleigh ride out onto the pack-ice I think one of the indiginous inuit groups are allowed to hunt a certain number of bear each year and sell their rights/tags to a licenced guide,sounds fantastic but wow,what an arduous hunt.Its cheaper and more accessible to hunt black bear for just over a thousand quid sterling

[Bowhunting]

Sure I read somewhere of a guy who shot a polar bear with a longbow Baldie

[WIFES]

Doubt it Frank,she is priceless

[WIFES]

Have to agree with Alastair,my wifes asian,met her when I was based in Hong Kong,celebrated our fifteenth wedding anniversary last saturday,would've probably been in nick without her Doesnt drink,smoke,or gamble,oh yeah,forgot to mention one thing,she is loaded

[WIFES]

You know the old saying Stan"Mothers baby Fathers.......Maybe"

[Snaring legalities?]

I live in west London and snare fox in the neighbourhood whenever they are causing a nuisance,I had to snare one a few weeks back as it was entering a friends garden in broad daylight for her kids rabbits and guinea-pigs.I taught my 10 years old son how to snare fox last winter and he took to it like a pro Backtrack through some of the old threads,plenty of advice on fox snaring,or failing that drop Woodga a PM,top man who is full of trapping lore

[mullet]

Used to fish for the mullet shoals that cruised the sewage outlets in Hong Kongs Victoria harbour,bread flake worked at times,no such finesse with the Chinese,used to rip a f**K-off big treble through the tightly packed shoals and hope for the best

Hey Mackem,

 

What ever happened to Dave Millers gunshop in Sunderland?

 

He started in the arcade then moved twice in town after that. Is he still about?

 

 

I bought and sold all my shotgun and firearms from him, he was/is anice bloke for a mackem, me being a sand dancer :11:

Millers gunshop used to be round the corner from the bus station when we were kids,my mate Malcolm had a part-time job in there,but I left Sunderland when I was 16 mate,havent been there in years(can you blame me ).Besides,we used to go upmarket for our gear,Bagnall & Kirkwoods or Steve Smiths in Newcastle,better class of establishment

[Most rabbits]

Going back again to my best day, I dont think as a 15 year old, I appreciated how special it was.

 

Its had the old cogs turning in the head, we didnt use purse nets, we used 3 long nets to form a funnel and trap.

 

The oldest lad 'Smudger' was a well experienced hunter who had learnt his trade from his dad who was a top lurcher man at the time. Believe his dad was a guard on the railways thats how he new this spot. (If by chance you read this Smudger, PM me)

 

Even before we started ferreting we had rabbits in the net, just walking along the embankment sent them running off across the field.

 

I still remember the journey home to Geordie land in the back of a bedford van with all these rabbits. Think the bloke that we sold them too supplied the butchers in the Grainger market in the toon.

 

Funny, now through work I live in Yorkshire not that far from the scene of our exploits.

 

Yes, been back just by chance to see if the hoards of bunnies are still there, nope they aint, its a wonder the railway line still is though there was that many holes.

 

AAAH MEMORIES........................................................

Fu**ing hell,I had forgotten about that,remember as a kid I used to love visiting the Grainger market to look at the roe,hare,pheasant and other game hanging unskinned,au naturel,in the butchers section Most rabbits we got in a 24 hour period was 130+ but the area we hunted was saturated with them

[bow hunting...]

Tuning a bow is easy Baldie..........But only if you know how Bows and arrows arent always compatible,the most basic component,the arrow shaft comes in an array of materials,lengths,straightness,weight,and diameter tolerances bewildering to the newbie,and thats before its fletched and tipped with a head of some sort.

My advice would always be join a club,theres loads around,and practice with a compound,recurve,takedown,or longbow.See if you enjoy the sport,its not everyones cuppa,before splashing the cash on the bow of your choice.Most club archery enthusiasts will help a neophyte paper-tune his weapon,and explain why his arrows are fishtailing or porpoising,something Robin of Sherwood would never have been able to do

Broadheads are not stopped at customs and neither are any of the other bowhunting paraphanalia. In order for the british bowhunter to practice he must do so with broadheads and so he must get them sent over here. That is not illegal because the bowhunter is using them for practice in a training for a planned bowhunt in a country where it is legal. There are many bowhunters in the uk. It is an amazing sport and shooting a bow is so much better than a gun and alot harder too, its not as simple as picking a bow up and away you go....every arrow has to be tuned and the bow, itself, is a presise peice of kit. Many just do not understand the complexity of bowhunting, indeed, of any archery............. I strongly recommend the Gary Bogner series of DVDs...all manner of quarry being taken...Rhino, elephant, buffs, lion, hippo...loads of others....

Amen for a sensible answer I work at Heathrow airport(sometimes) and trust me,broadheads are NOT illegal to own or import into the UK,also my local Archery Range Quicks stocks broadheads I see them whenever I pop into the shop to use their outdoor range

[New Hobbie]

If your joining that gang Bob get yourself a tandem :kiss:

[bow hunting...]

Who told you the broadheads are stopped at customs FD?
