  1. Been doing some real fishing as well though Chess,just wasnt productive
  2. Used to live in East London on the Isle of Dogs,we used to lamp the parks and waste ground in that general area 3-4 fox was normal,sometimes we would get 5,we didnt used to lamp all night nor travel great distances,Coney Clucky a forum member here was out with us often,his old hancock dog took 100(approx)in a season,a number of them were city fox.London has a large population of fox,they really are brazen and laid back
  3. First decent sized pike I ever caught was on a live frog,normally however any live-bait from the water I am fishing.
  4. I caught a number of fish last week using a mono-fly I tied myself.
  5. Currently around £25 a key in Cambodia,average grade. I knew a guy before the government crackdown on legal-highs who was buying keys of mephadrone from china including the Fedex costs for £750,he was knocking them out on a perfectly legit website and making around £4750 profit often in a week,all for doing a little bit of legwork/phonework.
  6. Just did a quick search and found this snippet......... Spanish poachers use the stuff all the time along with corn,maize etc to keep them in the area
  7. Just spent three months in Spain working(going back out if we get a new boat)there are wild boar around the villa,first sign was the amount of ground grubbed and rooted up,they really make a mess of the place one method of attracting them into a certain spot told to me by an old spaniard is to empty diesel/oil onto the ground,they roll in it and the smell attracts them,I emptied some out one night and the next morning sure enough a pig had rolled and rooted around the spot Very nice pics ideation.
  8. Hitched in parts of africa,south america and asia,I once got a lift from Peshawar to Rawalpindi in the back of a truck carrying goats,and caught a lift from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan with a coca-cola delivery driver who gave me loads of free bottles during the journey
  9. Thats real fishing,tranquil,relaxing and with a beautiful vista
  10. Bushy is my local park Pinnacle,I used to run there every morning,havent walked through for a while as I havent been around,your pics remind me of how scenic its 1100 acres really is,might pop in tomorrow
  11. I have to be honest Bogger,I have known Chris for maybe 25 year?I remember him getting his "Clucky" nickname at Southwick Village Farm,I have kicked around with him from Sutherland and Caithness down to the Home Counties,used to do a lot around Essex,Harlow etc,he is a decent guy,no pretensions,just straight down the line,what you see is what you get with him,a sound guy to be frank but he doesnt come across so well on the PC Chris,you need a parental lock on that f*cking keyboard Clucky was the guy who would buy a ferret from you for two guinea-pigs and give you change of a hamst
  12. I wonder how plummers books and articles would have fared nowadays with the internet giving everyone an instant voice
  13. Howard.G.Glynn(ferreting articles)went off to the middle-east to teach english,P.C.Alec Brown(lurcher and terrier)has his own website and sometimes visits the states to trap and shoot,Les White(ferreting)lectures or something along those lines doesnt he?
  14. Teddy Moritz i think?American lady?
  15. Excellent shot of the hoopooe,seen loads of them the last 3 months but none as close nor as clear as that one
  16. I had shares in a hydro-shop years ago,I imported Tents,NFT trays etc,business was blooming Every man and his dogs at it now,profit margins not what it was,I have been in the Philippines farming and just came back to the UK from spain where I intend to return within a week or two once I have had some building work done :thumbs:Interesting to hear about the tobbacco though,the chinese are importing poor grade into the UK and re-packaging it as named brand,grow your own
  17. Jacob,do you pull the male plants when they show sex or just let them seed au natural,no such thing as sensimilla tobbacco?

    Strangeways.

    It was a 500 million quid coke importation plot,you dont even get to be a low-echelon van driver with such a crew without having your credentials well checked out.
  19. Goat tastes fine as it happens Eaten a load of stuff from cane-rat to bushmeat to scorpion,took these pics last december,crocodile steaks and ostrich BBQ at the croc farm in Davao,they also did an ostrich egg omelette
  20. I knew I had seen that pic somewhere before longdogbow,the article makes interesting reading. http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_experiments/bulletbow/bulletbow.html
  21. Have to be a full house for that,even then 3-4 is more realistic. Grow as much as you want,selling it however is verboten. Nutrient film technique Buster?I used to grow tomatoes in 604's outdoors abroad with an external res topped up with an automatic valve and float from an old toilet,good results,might work for tobbacco as the veg growth with hydro always surpasses soil.
