Spot on, tar.

Ian, how do you edit signatures? Doesn't show up under my account settings.

Great account Dan. I can believe it.

Finding homes for shot birds
Born Hunter replied to Jarvis's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Another problem is that in some cases you literally can't give it away. Not because businesses don't want a free source of meat, but because once they have processed the bird they then have to pay something like 90p per carcass to have it disposed of legally! Obviously they could pluck the bird but that's only a limited market and there's labour cost considerations in that. f***ing regulations! LOL The consumer has to drive this or the politicians will and they'll do it ruthlessly! I'm not sure what the solution is without someone taking a hit. I considered maybe the shooting communi -
Dan, that bear hunting in corn sounds bloody brilliant! Keep posting fella, I enjoy reading how you guys get on.

That's per lynx mate. Also I recalled it wrong, it's 25 times higher, not 25/year. So it's 10/year per lynx.

0.4/year was a European average. The number was 25 times higher in Norway!

I'm sure someone on here told me that the UK is training enough nurses annually to meet the demands of the NHS, the problem being they're not staying once trained. Therefore this is causing a labour shortage that is being filled by immigrants. Is there any truth in that?

Snowflake Teacher Resigns After 1 Term.........
Born Hunter replied to Blackbriar's topic in General Talk
Getting up at 5:30am to do marking and not finishing until 6:30pm with your 'breaks' spent working too sounds f***ing gash! I'd have quit too. In fact I did only much sooner. Straight after uni I thought I'd give teaching a spin and quit on the second day of the pre-training work experience! Got a mate that I used to work with who went into teaching in his late twenties and loves it. I think for otherwise committed aspiring teachers a bit of industry experience and maturity helps a lot with perspective and for some 'emotional strength'. LOL -
I got the impression that the police were with the hunt anyway? I'd be lying if I said I had never thrown caution to the wind in the heat of it so I'll not be knocking the huntsman but at the same time I accept you are probably right. But perhaps they felt it was worse to leave the stag there as you say, better to get it done and be away?
-
Speculating, I'd say the huntsman felt his hounds had done their job and that the hunt should be concluded. It doesn't sound like he gave much thought to public perception? Or possibly the legality.

Frances turn... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/06/french-hunters-spark-national-uproar-slaying-stag-front-garden/ When asked to comment public reaction, Edouard Philippe, the French prime minister, said: "All this suggests a societal debate is needed on this type of hunting, which is increasingly raising concern in public opinion." Good luck to our friends on the continent. Though it sounds like they are a political force to be reckoned with.

I didn't realise it was possible before. It'd be quite useful. Is it a file type problem socks?

Woodcock-nice to see them back
Born Hunter replied to tegater's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
Apparently flushed three on Saturdays syndicate day. Not generally good area for woodcock so a good early indication really. Big moon on Friday night I guess will have brought them in. Now the season has started! Now if later this season I can bag one over my young cocker I'll be made up! -
Cheers, but it's not there.

IanB, how do you edit signatures? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Finding homes for shot birds
Born Hunter replied to Jarvis's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
How the industry and greater sport adapts to this problem will be a large factor in it's future survival! If the consumer continues to demand big days with harvesting the meat of secondary or no concern then eventually it'll be banned. Regardless of it's contribution to GDP! Last year a local estate put on two big days that broke the estate record. The biggest topped 2300 head! That's a sold day, not keepers day.... It's f***ing mad and unless we start self regulating and the consumer putting greater value of what they're harvesting the industry and possibly the sport will be history -
A local resident with a rifle fired at the suspect as he left the church. The gunman dropped his Ruger assault weapon and fled in his vehicle, said Freeman Martin, regional director of the Texas Department of Public Safety. A man told San Antonio television station KSAT he was driving near the church when the resident who had opened fire on the gunman approached his truck and urged him to give chase. “He said that we had to get him (the gunman), and so that’s what I did,” Johnnie Langendorff, the driver of the truck, told KSAT. He added they reached speeds of 95 miles (153 km/h) per

I think some of you must be laying it on a bit thick with how many adverts you are seeing? I'm seeing no more than on the previous version. Either that or the clever software realises this nerd is immune to consumerism and Russian whores and so has given up on me.

good one! I can't knock you on the rest because I don't know the facts.

Read about it a couple weeks ago. Down to pesticides in agriculture essentially.

I like that you have changed the colour contrast between the comment boxes and the forum background. I'd maybe make the background darker again. It's better now though.
