Thank you for the offer mate. But I'm not much of a reader so it'd likely be wasted on me. Cheers though.
-
And at 11 months. I like this pup so much that Ill hopefully be getting something related next year.

It's coming back! All this election/brexit nonesense got me wanting a hot silver haired wench with three f**k off gret big dragons to march in screaming "DRACARYS!". So anyway, they apparently binned one very bold prequel concept called Bloodmoon that would have been about the children of the forest and their creation of the Night King 5000 yrs before GoT. But they're going ahead with another called House of The Dragon, about the reign of the House of Targaryen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_Thrones#Successor_series I know all the GoT hype died almost

The honour of being a "sniper" is not won easily! -
I'm very excited, and I'm not even going!

Not woodcock but flushed my first snipe of the season this morning. A very lively brace off of stubble on this very bright frosty morning. Great way to start the day. -
I've got tons of f***ing pictures! It becomes a bit of a mission finding the right ones. Anyway, yeah buy one! I stalk some ground on chalky/flinty downland and I was getting pissed off with my shouldered rifle crashing off of my shoulder when traversing the terrain. So I bit the financial bullet and bought one of these Vorn Lynx rucksacks. All my kit conveniently packed away, rifle at hand in a couple of seconds, secured very safely at all times until needed. They're VERY well constructed. Two noteworthy points in the interest of giving a fair overview: If you are in thick shitty b

Brilliant bit of kit. I love mine!

I have no doubt there are hundreds of similar anecdotes mate. I still don't believe it makes a difference. Good to hear she is getting on well with her pup all the same.

f***ing hell, I've given you PTSD! No, I get that jig. LOL. I'm just saying I personally would be more drawn to that pup at 3-4 months of age than I would a 7-8 week old litter. I personally don't think those 3rd and 4th months make any difference to the human bond but I think it'd do pups heaps of good to be around their kind for longer.

I like to see pups at 3-4 month, you have a much better idea of the stamp of the final product. It's a shame breeders don't habitually keep them back that extra month imo. That dog pup is a cracking strong thing! I actually wish I had the work for him.

Bradgate Park. Quite interesting geologically. Almost like a small chunk of the Scottish Borders in middle England.
-
Still not managed to get myself out on a stag so instead I’ve had a few trips to to the park while the roar is on. This thread prompted me to share some pics.
-
That’s what I was wondering... I have a lot of faith in the goretex badge.
-
Do you find the whole trail cam aspect of your hunting adds to or removes from the experience mate? It seems to be one of the big difference on your side of the pond from ours. I get that for you guys it's probably more beneficial than it is for us but I guess I mean do you enjoy it or does knowing what's out there sort of take away a bit of the anticipation/wonder of hunting? I've played about with them but not properly got 'into' them.
-
Didn't swazi used to be licensed to use Gore-tex as their waterproof lining?
-
Legend! I've just been looking into getting a swazi smock.
-
Fairly sure mountain lions are a little smaller though. They both fill a similar ecological niche.
-
I don't want to be a dick mate so please take this in the respectful manor that it's intended. I follow quite a few trophy hunting things and it seems quite contentious whether a 200lb leopard even exists. Many brutes into the 190s. But they are considered absolute specimens, not typical or average. Jaguar go over 200.
-
And jaguar. I've seen videos of all three bayed up. Historically African lion too but I don't know if anyone bothers anymore.
-
f***ing love the leopard. Probably my favourite animal. Be great to one day walk amongst them...
-
Fantastic sport
-
Yeah, pretty much.
-
Nah mate, I just read a lot of hunting stuff. That can be taken a number of ways... Personally I'd just go straight to the bow. Very enjoyable flicking arrows in silence! I've had a bit of interest recently in going to iron sights too.
