Help For Pine Marten Survey!
Born Hunter replied to jodieh's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
I read/heard somewhere that the Pine Martin was actually believed to be beneficial to the red squirrel conservation effort as they found greys easier to prey on than reds. I think they were a little more fleet through the canopy than the greys. Might be bollocks, just recalled it.... -
Is that not the same as saying "unless you were part of the Cabinet at the time, you are not qualified to comment on Thatchers decisions"?............ probably not eh? LOL

Max, I love how you think I'm some priveliged middle class Tory boy. LOL. I'm not getting into this perpetual argument about mining, been there and done that. I just wanted to mention how I find it ironic how the Thatcher haters follow their spite with UKIP praise.........
-
Im sure you mean 'privatising?' LOL, I'm mid way through an argument with a roughneck grease monkey. My brain got it backwards, lol.
-
What makes me laugh is all these folk that hate Thatcher so spitefully for privatising many of our state industries in the same breath scream "UKIP!"................. like they would do any different! Edit, ammended thanks to Malt's ridicule.

You getting desperate shroom?............. Having to slaughter your own pigs now just to get a decent banger?

So You Want To Be A Keeper???
Born Hunter replied to danw's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Dan, do you think the future of driven game shooting is going back to it's roots? Like you say, the 21stC generation of 'new money' miliionaires who only know about profit margins and risk management have a very different attitude to the 'old money' landed gentry who kept a shooting or/and hunting estate as a matter of prestige to entertain friends and associates socially. The economics of running an estate for commercial shooting seems to be getting harder to sustain and justify with many shoots closing down because of this? Maybe the old days are the future? -
I still am young, ya arse!

There's a new Gozilla film coming out?.............. Awesome!!! LOL

While you would expect that when you hear a ring tone the phone is on and in working order that may not actually be the case - according to one expert. "That does not mean the phone you are calling is ringing yet," wireless analyst Jeff Kagan told NBC News. "The network is searching for the phone. First based on where it last was, then it expands. Then if the network can't find the phone, the call terminates." Apparently even if the phone in question is in airplane mode - or is off or terminally broken - it may still ring on the caller's end, despite there technic

Lab, LOL, you go and design an transmitter that can be received from hundreds of miles away and hundreds of meters submerged in the ocean and also fit whatever size and weight spec' is required for aircraft use. Maybe it can be, I'm just guessing based on the size of one. There's any number of reasons why the transmitter might have failed or simply not being received. If underwater acoustics was that simple, submarine warefare would be a doddle. All this should have been found out in space by now......

They emit an signature acoustic signal for location underwater but with all the background noise in the ocean and what I'd imagine to be a relatively small transmitter, the search and rescue people would still need to know roughly where to look I'd of thought.

I'd like to think I'd do the same personally. Think I'd find it hard just to stand and watch.... You weigh up the risks and if you're feeling confident get stuck in. If for no other reason than the pride.

Heard it said on here more than once, "Londoners don't care about their city". Well, here's one that does; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10690022/Axe-wielding-robber-wrestled-to-the-ground-near-Buckingham-Palace.html Credit to the chap!

My understanding is that a bullet will cause a huge amount of trauma to the brain and nervous system resulting in instant death. A bolt gun only destroys the part responsible with consciousness, the part responsible for involuntary actions like the heart beating remain functional. For the animal being killed, I think the two are exactly the same.
