https://www.(!64.56:886/marketplace/item/180559173156439/ Knew I'd seen some! Any good?

That's what I liked about the theme, being able to tailor it to be personal. The mythology is so rich. A soldier might want Aries and Athena, a builder/creator might want Hephaestus or Prometheus and a 'live in the moment' partyer Dionysus. Loads of potential for background and filling too, Artemis could have hounds and forest, Poseidon wild horses or crashing waves etc. I liked the idea of an Aphrodite/Adonis scene too.

Max, you clearly don't understand me but I'll entertain this for a moment longer. Given that I'm not a wealthy man, I would rather spend two thousand pounds plus on actually doing shit that defines me, rather than spend it on art work that tells everyone what man I want to be but aren't because I'd preferred to spend the money on telling them than actually doing it. Christ, you're hard work.

Feels like a waste when two grand would send me back to the mountains actually being the person I want to be rather than just pretending to be with showy tattoos. I don't eat oranges....... throwing the peel away feels like waste.

I spoke to a mate who's addicted to tattoos and she showed me the work of an artist she knows, it was a piece based on Hades, which was to have Zeus added to complete it, sort of like equal and opposite in meaning. Anyway, he's the man for the job without doubt. I probably prefer the classical Roman art style but with the ancient greek theme. Tattoo or not, it's a cool bit of art and culture to me. Love reading about it.
-
You putting up the two grand for me? Because two grand of my money is better spent on stuff I can use. Never mind 3-4 days off work for the sessions. It just ain't that important to me. I'm a casual admirer.
-
Try harder.
-
I like the idea of tattoos but I'm too utilitarian to 'waste' money and time off work on them and too 'serious' to have a cheap shit one. After a lot of thought I came up with the perfect piece for me, a sprawling scene of various ancient Greek mythological figures, Artemis, Orion & Poseidon with potential to add more. One day if ever I have more money than sense.

We're too good at dealing with these things these days. It'll take something radically evolved to catch us off guard and make any significant impact on the global population. Even then I doubt it'll be a full on 'system reset'. Conflict over resources imo is the most likely cause, if it is to happen. Possibly when China seriously challenges US hegemony and ends the Pax Americana. Who knows.......

Let's hope it wasn't rabid! But sounds like it was, odd behaviour.

Their words are chosen carefully. Enables the reader to not have to think too hard.

Tbh mate I've had a play with it and put it away for a while. I'm busy with other stuff and haven't got the back garden to be regularly flinging arrows. I'm not selling it though because one day soon, hopefully, I might just get the opportunity to do it justice! I think big adventure opportunities like NZ are such a big deal to me that I'd probably always take the rifle over the bow. The bow is another experience I want in my goal of being the most well rounded hunter/outdoorsman I can be but I'm not a out an out bowhunter type so the rifle doesn't feel like second best, if you get me?

I think it varies for every individual tbh. That diet sounds like a good starting point and may well be perfect for them. Worth bearing in mind that a cocker is an endurance athlete whereas track dogs are sprinters though. I wouldn't get too entrenched or evangelical about any particular feeding regime. Just be mindful of any issues that may be nutrition related and be willing to adapt your regime to improve them.

Ain't that matey from Lurcher section who wants to breed some whirriers out of his pup? Anyway, I have to have a quick look at the comments on these things. Generally look to be not negative. Imagine if it was anything other than rats though....

I couldn't give two fucks about MMA but I've spent quite a few hours listening to Donald and Joe oddly enough. He's an interesting fella... This anecdote is a good one.
-
I suspect that he got lost one day a couldn't find his way home so set up shop. Something to do with taking the wrong exit off the motorway!

Everyone that I’ve heard who’s eaten it has said it’s one of the best game meats going. Reckon it’s like pork.

It'll be auto-correct for sprocker.
-
Fair. I don't think it'll play out quite like that. Long term, recreational stalkers will be more likely to limit the number of permissions they are responsible for and it'll probably encourage more syndicates to do the job one man was doing before. All in all allowing more opportunity.
-
Okay, perhaps 'profit' was an unfair word. If my sport was paying for all costs I'd consider that good, never mind contributing to my income. If the revenue is slashed do you think that'll knock back some of the lads culling numbers that far exceed what they can process without a commercial market? Your landowners won't let anyone else on because they are used to the status quo. They don't need to because you do your job, which has been economical under historic conditions. Are folks like you gonna want to maintain your historic activities and will lads in the future work up to such level
-
Do you think that if this low price is sustained then it'll lead to guys that are currently culling quite large numbers cutting back? Frankly it might well make stalking more accessible if the lads doing a lot have their profits slashed. PS I do acknowledge that you are one of those lads.

No I’m not surprised. I love the idea of public land but I’m not sure I’m in favour of forced buy up by the state in the UK. Especially given that they’re a bunch of f***ing antis anyway. But aye, ideologically I support the concept of public ownership.
-
Update for this. I was recently f***ing about setting the seating depth for some new reloads and noticed the action was completely loose! The trigger guard bolts had worked loose. Finally sick of this nonsense I bought an aly aftermarket one and just fitted it. You can’t fully tighten the bolts with the factory plastic one because it warps it and jams the mag from releasing. This aly one can be cranked up and takes all the movement out of the action. Not shot it yet but I’d be surprised if it makes things worse. Hundred quid well spent but which shouldn’t be necessary on a 1000 quid tool!

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO gAME KEEPERS
Born Hunter replied to micky's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
It's a pretty solid defence mechanism if tactically directed at the enemy to be fair mate.
