Wouldn't that put you at a big risk of rebound though? When you cut hard your body improves it's metabolic efficiency and sort of goes into a survival mode where as soon as it gets a calorie surplus it is ready to store as much fat as possible, more than it could have before because of it's improved efficiency. They say it's the mechanism behind the reason for so many people ending up heavier some time after an intense 'diet' than they were before.

Statistically speaking, a man will gain something like a stone when he gets married and then a second stone when he has his first kid, testosterone drops (not sure on the numbers) and he just turns soft. What the causality of all that is I'm not sure but it's interesting. You're so right about nutrition too. Attitudes towards what we put in us is tragic in this country.

'Life' gets in the way for an awful lot of people when they hit 30+ and they tend to 'settle' and ease off then maybe 5-10-15 years later they have an urge to hit it again and regain a bit of that youthful masculinity they have lost. Very typical behaviour but I wonder how detrimental that break is compared to simply ageing? I read the headline of a stud recently that concluded that age really isn't that big of a problem, it simply correlates with people tending to get lazy as the age and it is the break in adult life that is the killer. My mind is full of this shit. It's a f***ing mess!

Out of Interest, those of you that say you are not able to do what you were in you 20/30s, have you come back to sport/training after a lay off or have you consistently been at it and noticed a deterioration?

I suspect they're too scared of the inevitable lawsuit when someone was injured or killed from it.

Jesus christ watching that gave me the ceeps! Especially when they were all pinging around like the lotto balls! What was the benefit of the live chicks? Given the rats were baited by the corn.

Fruit and veg ain't cheap either! I'll do 30 quid a month just on f***ing berries! Thats a fraction of my fruit intake, never mind total plant matter intake.
-
I know that, that's why I said about the point of feeling satiated differs which therefore leads to a net calorie drop. Imo! Not claiming this to be fact just my hypothesis. I think we understand each other.
-
That's not quite what I was saying though mate. I'm not restricting their food intake so I'd expect the carby foods to be replaced somewhat by meat and fruit and veg etc. I just think that the average person hits a higher calorie count on carbs before they feel satiated than on a more 'natural' (I hate that word) diet. It's not so much a diet I'm talking about as an attitude to how I eat/cook. Obviously calorie deficit is the bottom line, I'm just thinking out loud 're how to make healthy nutrition easy.
-
So much of our modern diet is based around easy carbs, bread, pasta, rice, potato products etc. They're just too easy to eat in quantity. I really think most folks could eat as much meat, fruit and veg as they wanted supplementing whatever carbs they crave on top and would look great for it.

This?

I know a fella that used to lamp foxes with a 300RUM. Ticket said AOLQ sooo f**k that.

So you can't read...

Also, I think we would probably agree on a lot of environmental issues. I work in the oil and mining industry so will be accused of being biased at any opportunity that suits. Not right now though because I'm pushing alternatives, lol. Our current industrial practices are totally unsustainable! Plastic waste, carbon emissions, agriculture decimating ecosystems! It's depressing as f**k. Even more so when I conclude that we will simply innovate our way out of the problems when the begin to bite allowing us to continue the destruction, no Armageddon and natural cull.
-
I disagree, I think that generally people want it banned out of ignorance based fear, if they studied it they'd be far less concerned. But this comes down to a simple disagreement between us over the risk/reward, I'm not suggesting that you are wrong in your opinion of it. Half lives can be under a second or millions of years. It depends on the isotope. But yes the waste that matters, does so because it lasts so long (not because it emits anything more nasty). No denying that currently it is a problem and risk. We still haven't managed to deal with any of our nuclear subs yet and the y

Nobody f***ing cares! I just spat all the tea in china all over my f***ing desk! Nobody cares indeed! People panic so much over the N word that the guys that developed MRI were too scared to call it by its proper name, NMRI! People care beyond reason! Also, radioactive waste decays (the matter we are made from was literally formed in a nuclear reactor). I'd hazard a guess a lot faster than the tens to hundreds of millions of years it takes to make oil. The rate we are killing off the oceans there'll be no oil generation anyway. LOL

The 250 will be closest to the 243. All of the above though will be responsible for killing thousands of foxes annually.

Spot on mate. Check back in after winter. I didnt know deerhunter were danish. I reckon I'm gonna have a punt on this Danish brand. They don't stock in the UK so need to ship in mind. https://www.northernhunting.com/en/13-jackets

I missed one in the exact same place last year while my mates young lad was with me. It didn’t take him long to tell everyone either! I told him I got one that morning and that it was definitely the same fox so he can stop reminding me and telling everyone about missing it “it’s dead mate, yep same fox, for sure!”
-
And finally the limping doe. Turns out her foot was gone, healed but not healthy. She was just bones. So yeah, decent morning. Had a few more the next day but pretty routine stuff. Cheers

Had a few days away this week. Moved on further south now but here’s a bit of a do I had. I wasn’t out too early, about 5:30am and headed straight to my favourite corner of the estate. Before I’ve even parked the truck I’m spying roe! No bucks but it’s encouraging with a couple of days at them. Anyway, first field and I see foxy mooching along the fresh stubble. I’d sort of preferred to have not seen it but the keeper has birds in next week so couldn’t really ‘unsee’ it. So, ‘bang-pop’, done.... Quite a dark coloured dog fox. The thought crossed my mind that it might have made

I was a bit disappointed that I couldn’t find any safari/outfitters. I wonder if it’s too controversial these days?
-
I thought it was alright. Not blown away but still better than any other imo. I’m not interested in guns really though.

You seen the one of the fella that films himself kicking a brown bear (might be a colour phase black)? What a f***ing tool, the bear goes ballistic and he gets mauled to f**k.

I'm not sure exactly how it works in Ireland but it sounds a bit 'communal'? Such ideology sounds good but unless someone with some foresight is allowed to take ownership then it tends to be overly competitive and a race to the bottom. It only takes one wanker to make everyone else think "if I leave that today, the wanker will only kill it tomorrow, might as well shoot it now". Anywhere where people are allowed to take ownership of the land and it's wildlife, given relative freedom and assuming they have a shred of sense they will nurture their investment.
