  1. I've read the thread Paulus, minus the more recent shite it deteriorated into. My comments still stands. The mag has shafted us yes, but I'm not going to knock the writers that are standing by us.
  2. What a f*****g commotion! One thing I have come to realise is that dogmen are real good at fighting and moaning and pretty f*****g piss poor at putting aside their petty differences and getting organised. Shooting men and hunting men seem to be able to do this but dogmen as a collective just can't! I don't buy the countrymans anymore because it's literally a 10 min read, 2 quid for ten minutes of being occupied........ I'd rather give my 2 quid to the local tramp!! But I'm not jumping on this bash the 'sell out writers' for supporting the mag for their 200 quid a month............ FFS
  3. "This is an experimental product, and as such is sold for experimental use only. You must test on small areas first. Any damage caused is a result of your experiments and we cannot be held responsible for any problems." Haha, f**k that! LOL. I can't believe that it is even legal to sell the stuff if that is true..... It sounds to me like some little f****r has half inched a pallet full from R&D!
  4. Those close in weapons systems are f*****g devastating! I know the Phalanx (sp?) CIWS has a stupid rate of fire of like 75rps, designed for shooting down aerial threats. f*****g awsum piece of kit!
  5. Mate, income is income and it's all subject to tax as far as i'm aware. If the gov find out that substancial amounts are coming into your bank account regularly you can bet your bollocks they'll want to know where from and want their 20%.
  6. Not at all...... Why not?
  7. works both ways if you call someone out to buy your scrap car you will have to take a cheque aswell Since when have you had to take a cheque to sell a car to a third party? Besides, f**k giving somebody else the scrap money!
  8. Sad fact is plenty of dogs are shot every year because they aren't fit to go to a vets.
  9. Shame that, now all the tax dodging scrap men are gonna have to chip in to the system like the rest of us.....
  10. It wasn't edge of your seat stuff was it. I don't think it was expected to be though. Anybody watch the MMA afterwards? Never really bothered with it before tbh. I though Reid was lucky to win, it wasn't the easy fight it was meant to be.
  11. Playing Russian roulett with a semi auto gets the message across pretty quick too......
  12. You do what you want fella. But I would say right now is no time to be making rash decisions, we've all been there. Let ya world level out before you do anything. See the end of the season out on your shoot, that's something you have to be proud of right there!
  13. I've been watching it through XBMC mate, you have to go on the site and download the programme/software and then you are able to search/watch all sorts. I'm affraid I'm not very clued up on these things. I'm sure it'll be on any of the 'file sharing' website. Graham might be able to help you out with where he is watching it?
  14. As was to be expected where game was so plenty, wolves and coyotes also abounded. At night they surrounded the camp, wailing and howling in a kind of shrieking chorus throughout the hours of darkness; one night they came up so close that the frightened horses had to be hobbled and guarded. On another occasion a large wolf actually crept into camp, where he was seized by the dogs, and the yelling, writhing knot of combatants rolled over one of the sleepers; finally, the long-toothed prowler managed to shake himself loose, and vanished in the gloom. Just one extract I managed to find
  15. I've seen it mentioned that Custer and Roosevelt allegedly hunted wolves with their stags.......... I don't want to start this shite again but it is documented 'apparently' in Roosevelts book Hunting the Grisly and other Sketches. Maybe they were a bit liberal with their definition of the word 'wolf'........
  16. A Defra spokesman said: "This research adds to existing scientific evidence that bTB (bovine TB) is transmitted between cattle and badgers. No country in the world has successfully got to grips with the spread of this disease without tackling it in the wildlife population. That is why the Government remains fully committed to culling badgers in two pilot areas." What they don't mention is that the Uk is one of the only countries with badgers that even bother to protect them!..... never mind with prison time! Bonkers!
  17. Ah right. Earlier on in the series (1st or 2nd episode) they caught a wolverine and chapped it on the head first so he could get a steady clean shot with the 22 in the back of the head. I assumed they used the snare on the lynx because knocking it on the head would have been harder with a lynx fighting like that.
  18. Honestly? Yeah I do, the Conservatives promised a lot and produced nothing! If they had just given us the referendom on the EU we were promised they would be viewed 10 times better than they are. Even in the last election it wasn't a case of the Cons winning but Labour loosing. It's a sad state of affairs. Milliband may be a complete wanker leading a party of wankers but the good old faithfull British public keep voting for them.
  19. He's still got 12 months suspended sentence, I think anything above a caution is harsh considering the circumstances. Not sure why he had a 'large' amount of ammunition though......
  20. I agree. Let the dog get hold, then blow its brains out safely, or stick the knife in. Again....easy to say after the event, but in the split second to take the decision, he did what he had to do. I'm not judging him, that video raises more questions than it answers. I just feel the shot was bloody dangerous. And to be honest the dog seemed like it was just guarding the unconcious man, it didn't look to really want to kill anybody. That said, the man obviously needed attention so the dog had to be dealt with some how.
  21. No idea what the circumstances were but one thing I will say is the shot seemed f*****g wreckless! I would like to think I would take a bite off of a dog before shooting towards a crowd of people simply to protect myself.
  22. See what you think to it Ian, but give it a fair shot. There are bits where ya think they are drum it up a bit for tv but on the whole I liked it. Edited; I don't know much about fur trapping, how would a pro have dealt with a lynx in a foot hold?
  23. Stan's 21 yr old lad joey goes bear den hunting......... which involves him crawling head first down a bear's den with an AR-15 and a torch!!! First winter was so hard he had to cull and eat his entire dog team! Just a few snippets.
