    Similar sort of technology that they will be using for extraterrestrial exploration soon I would think. A legged machine has certain all-terrain advantages over a conventional wheeled machine. Just a shite load more complex.

    I can't see the vid on this machine. Is it of the DARPA legged squad support system? Fecking mad some of the top end military projects. "Rise of the machines" lol Interestingly and coincidentally the British military satalite network is called 'Skynet'.......

    Some people are rich because they have worked very hard in their lives, and have spent their money on a large property which over the years has increased in value making them asset rich and relatively cash poor, as opposed to others who have had expensive holidays, cars, and very active costly social lives. Others have inherited from their relatives who have also made sacrifices to put their children in that position. Others have chosen job satisfaction or a cause as a priority over money, and some have chosen not to work at all, and of course some have been very unlucky or lucky for whatever

    what else are you going to do let them set up an ambush and fire upon you ? i doubt that very much at the end of the day they no the risks of protecting the taliban, if they still wish to do so then on there head be it. if the locals didnt allow the taliban to come into there village and live amongst them there would be no problems I'm in no way makng a judgement but you can't expect the locals to just tell the taliban to f**k off and happily grass em up to the ISAF troops. if someone was hitting your gaf all the time with hellfire missiles gunfire not to mension the IEDs that t

    Christ, it just shows you how big those wild beef steaks are when head to head with what looks to be a decent sized stag.

    Apparently those yank Apaches carry 1200 of the 30mm.............. I'm assuming we didn't see some of it because I don't think I counted anywhere near 1200 before they ran out. Also the standard of performance on a 'wheeled target' around 1000m away is at least one hit from 30 shots.

    What are 'Feds'?

    Haha, start of the season I can't eat much on a shoot day morning, it sounds daft but I genuinely get excited.

    Why can't we 'like' mods posts? That was a cracking read, you've got a bit of a talent for writing. This cracked me up, it's practically scientific fact when you're a teenager; "but we always took the piss out of him for being scared and therefore naturally, a homosexual."

    I would be too concerned about being one of the few who survived to worry about regrets..... There's loads I wish I had done and wish I had tried to be a bit different, but we are what we are and even if I saw a certain death 500ft tsunami bearing down on me I'd be looking for an impromtu raft not regreting.

    I read the BBC report this morning. Are we really suprised? Same story every few years. FFS just stick them on the general licence with a specific cull season and min caliber and let the farmers and gamekeepers deal with the problem themselves.

    Feck me, all these drugs and devices and you have already told us the bloody cure...................... Sleep on the fecking floor!

    Can't say I have made any life changing mistakes yet but I'm deffinately going to be making some life changing gambles in years to come. You can't live your life thinking 'what if?', if you're not happy you have to take that chance, just make sure it's after a very calculated decision process. In 10-15 years I might be telling everyone to just be happy with what they have and not to take any risks in life, but that's something I'm going to have to learn through experience.
  17. Born Hunter
    Well Matt, that knife is a beaut! Better than what I was expecting tbh. What I would call a simple traditional beautifull knife. It looks like you got the sheath exactly how I wanted as well. How much do I owe ya and when can I get it? LOL. I'll be down your way tomorrow (Sunday) if you want me to collect?

    Happy Birthday Maltenby

    Looking forward to seeing it.

    It just goes to show how far removed Britains public is from the realities of the natural world. In some cultures hunting men are admired, infact in some cultures if a man doesn't hunt he isn't considered much of a man! Too many soft manacured wankers that look down on a chap that likes getting into the world of predator a prey rather than watching it on the Discovery Channel. I'm deeply suspicious of any fella that is scared of getting a bit of mud on his face and blood on his hands! That's really f*****g rattled me!

    I went into Smiths today to buy a shooting mag to browse over while having a coffee. Went to the self service machine and it said I had to have 'authorisation for this product'............ confused as feck I went to the proper till point and it went through alright so thought no more of it. It had crossed my mind that they may have imposed a restriction on buying them and was prepared to kick off if anything was said. It all makes sense having read this....... f**k all this hippy, soft arse, lefty, PC bullshit! Australia and the States seem like the only places where a man can be a man

    Common sense? That's something gained through common experiences in life, not many people have had the experience of killing with a knife. Never mind that though, I doubt he could have cut cheese with his kitchen knives never mind a bulldogs throat. Cutting a throat is the act of a calm and premeditated killer (be that a hunter or a trained soldier), randomly and frantically stabbing is the act of a desperate and emotional person. Just my opinion, but I wouldn't call it 'common' sense.

    Thats a whole different aspect to this thread though mate. Aye I suppose so, but still work that is being put in for the benefit of paying guns. Work that I don't get a penny for but put a lot of my own time in. The beating itself means more to me than the 20 quid at the end of the day. Just like seeing my efforts throughout the year come to fruition makes all the payless hours worth while. I'm not saying beaters etc should'nt be payed it's just some people seem far more concerned about how fat their wallet is than the sport they should be enjoying.

    I'm amazed his terrier was still alive after the time it would have taken to run in the house and get a knife. I very much doubt he had a clue what he was doing and with your average Wilkos special it's hardly a precision tool for despatching a bulldog. He did what any average person could with probably no knowledge or experience of killing big stuff, especially with a knife.
  25. Born Hunter
    All this talk of money....... how vulgar! Beating and helping run the shoot is about far more than a few quid for my time and graft. Some people are more bothered about the money than the sport for various reasons.
