Oh 2 minutes ago there was a pinned post about 'personal details' in adds. It's gone now though. Sorry. I won't delete them anymore, I agree if you want to publish your mobile phone number to the world and any anti who's looking that's your business now.
-
congratulations - almost perfect post
-
Well done - you nearly got everything right Just add a guide price now and I won't delete it Oh and no personal info either
-
Right, we now have some rules to work with. They are pinned at the top of the Buy, Sell, Swap section. http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index...showtopic=38958

Now I have never tried that but I would imagine there would be problems. Snaring relies on the rabbit moving at some speed inorder to hit the noose at the right height and pull it closed. Rabbits are quite timid when leaving the burrow in normal circumstances and have a good look round so are more likely to spot something is up. I am not rulling it out - just not within my scope of experience. If you need to trap them as the leave the burrow you would be better off with a few MKVI fenns.

well I really enjoyed that. Part 2 tomorrow
-
We can and do exactly those sort of things all the time. And get moaned at for doing so I might add, but thats par for the course. I just don't think I should be making up and enforcing a whole new load of rules just because you or I don't agree with something. As your opening post says 'Is it just me.....?' Well from it appears that it isn't just you , but it isn't very many more though either.

Is anyones Local a " Democracy "? Is it f*ck as like! You go there agreeing to abide by the Owner / Managers Rules and pay the going rates. You try ganging up in a pub and Demanding free beer and the " Right " to smoke ..... If we extend your analogy Ditch I am just a barmaid in here , or maybe a doorman. If I start work one week and then next week decide off my own bat that the Tuesday quiz night is now a Karaoke night I'd get bloody linched. If I want to make a change I have to either convince the landlord or the regulars and that's what I am trying to do here.

Great. And, yet again, we slide back into the pit of mire. Unlock the cells and let the lunatics reign. FFS! Ye speak of " Democracy " JB, yet ye've evidently never studied the sociology of leadership, have ye? Oh, never mind. This place is fast becoming a mirror image of the bananna republic it's based in anyway. For much the same reasons Come on, that's a bit harsh. This is not my forum and I cannot just go making up rules and imposing them just because I am a Moderator. I believe that some very simple changes would make the Sell/Buy section much better and a -
come a bit closer so as I can trip you up with my stick.

Good idea a brief description in the second title box will save people looking if there not interested It's interesting to read what you have both put there, 'cos I have had a poll running on a very similar proposal for a couple of days, but frankly have had very little response - just 30 votes so far which is only 2.5% of the active membership. Now as a moderator I am not in the business of just imposing rules one day because I think it's a good idea. Ian can, it's his site, but not me. Based on the poll results so far there just doesn't seem to be any membership support
-
well if I wanted to bend democracy to fit my purpose I s'pose I could claim a result in my favour at this point; 38% want offending posts deleted and 33% want warnings. Only 29% want the status quo However we've only had 21 votes out of 231 hits and 1171 people on line today, so this clearly isn't much of an issue to the membership at large. So I think it's best I just forget about it. Thanks to those who expressed a view

here you go - From BASC Shooting & Conservation magazine Jan/Feb 008
-
There is an article in the BASC mag that's just come out - I'll scan it and put it up
-
That's bloody brilliant. I'll try that, just need to remember not to lean too far forward when I do. :sick: cheers for posting it
-
No chance - can't get into any of the wood on my permission until Feb when the shooting season if over. Are you out on your own ? In my experience there needs to be a few of you in different woods round and about - otherwise one shot and they all feck off somewhere else for the night. But you probably know that already. Having said that I started using a hushpower last year, so everyone else was pushing them to me
-
OK - I have spent a few hours today modifying the recent topics in 'Buy, Sell, Swap' to match the rules I proposed. This gives you an idea of how the section could look. I've added a poll to find out whether you think it's makes a difference or not.

Location ?

Location ?

Well that's the idea Ditch - 3 step plan. Recommend, Mandate, Enforce. You have to give people fair warning through - I don't believe I can just wake up one morning and start deleting posts because I've just thought of a new 'rule'.
-
Just to help everyone out and save any wasted effort please can all 'For Sale' posts have an indication of the 'what' and the 'where' in the title & description Thanks

Ah - two Goldfinches ?
-
Goldfinch I think - but a bit worse for wear. When was it taken ? It could be a juvenile molting into adult plumage A goldfinch should look like this

I am thinking of ordering another box of these. Anyone still interested ?
