    I've been told "there's only two ways to really know someone, when they're in combat or when they're drunk".... I think you could well add "when they're on the internet" to that these days. Really brings out someone's true character.

    I went to the 2019 Jagd & Hund show/exhibition in Germany and 99% of the dogs there were Teckles, Jagds or some sort of HPR. The exhibition seemed to be dominated by 'BDS' types though. My little black dog would have been dwarfed by much of what was there which suggested to me most of them were not earth dogs.

    Not watched the clip but that Mauser looks fantastic with the patina. What a trophy/show piece that would make.

    An estate I stalk on find these half regularly. That's the last one they found a few months ago.

    That's the fella I was on about earlier. Only watched the Zanzibar leopard one but iirc he essentially got played by a local who promised to show him one in the morning but wanted paying up front, yeah the local wasn't seen again , and he built a cage trap out of, best I could figure, f***ing kindling...... to contain a leopard..... I'm sure he's a smart bloke but I wasn't overwhelmed with his savvy off the back of that one episode, I was genuinely shocked that he photographed one.

    Night Sky Map & Planets Visible Tonight WWW.TIMEANDDATE.COM Choose tonight or another date and see which planets are shining in the sky above you or anywhere else. Alter the date, slide the time and grab and drag to rotate. I probably should've just started with that rather than guess.

    That’s pretty cool. I’ve seen meteors that were particularly bright. A bit like a flare. But that one sounded quite special.
  8. Born Hunter
    There’s just not much to the left of the moon that I can think of as being particularly noteworthy. Sirius is the nearest thing of note, granted to the right and not exactly next to it.

    The Moon's position at 10pm last night from the UK.
  10. Born Hunter
    Orion is just a reference to find Sirius which would be to the left of it, so nearer to the moon than Orion. I'm not saying it was Sirius, but it's not 'nowhere near', you want to see either you'll just be turning your head. Not exactly spinning around.
  11. Born Hunter
    I think I'm oriented.... I suspect it's Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. If you are at all familiar with the star constellations you'll likely recognise Orion, made famous in Men in Black "Orion's belt". Well Sirius is part of the constellation Canis Major (the greater dog), one of Orion's hounds and as such it follows Orion's heel across the night sky. Anyway, if you find Orion, Sirius will be just below and left of him. If it is indeed Sirius. Can't really think if there's another bright star next to it, which is making me hesitant on calling it. Other than the moon it

    I wonder if earlier that morning the trooper in charge of how much explosives constitutes 'controlled' had got an earful off of a Starbucks wielding anti-war protesting student.
  13. Born Hunter
    If they appeared to twinkle then they are likely stars as planets don't generally do that and three of the four likely planets, Jupiter/Saturn/Venus are all currently only visible in the morning sky, they rise just before the sun does. One could have been Sirius as I think that might have been close to the moon last night. The moon shifts quite a bit each night so isn't a brilliant reference point tbh. I won't get chance to look anytime soon now the weather has turned.

    Yeah pretty sure she’s not stateless. That’d break some fairly respected international law, the ECHR I think. Don’t expect the Gov to revoke citizenship for someone with solely British citizenship. Best all round if the RAF and SFs flatten them while they are legitimate targets in the desert.
  15. Born Hunter
    Yes I agree. But the credit for that decision and the precluding decision to revoke citizenship belongs to the government. All the court did was say the government acted legally on the former.
  16. Born Hunter
    Just remember it was the government that made the decision to revoke her citizenship and prevent her return for the appeal trial. The Supreme Court simply upheld it as legal. That said I have quite a bit of faith in the Supreme Court tbh. Even when they rule against my personal politics I still tend to believe it was the correct interpretation of the law. It's really important that they don't just 'do as the people want' and instead act totally objectively and impartially.

    That seems to be the consensus. Yet there are gunclubs all over going out shooting still. Logic dictates then there's too much shooting and not enough keepering/conservation. It might be down the pecking order but it doesn't change the fact that if you spend all ya time shooting and not enough time conserving you will only ever have f**k all to shoot.
  18. Born Hunter
    Oh yeah I know that mate. I wasn't even talking specifically about releasing birds. I'm talking about gamekeeping as a whole, essentially conservation. From what Wilf has said and what I've heard generally there's tons of room for improvement.
  19. Born Hunter
    Yes, they're not short in the leg unless you've an abnormal build.
  20. Born Hunter
    So keepering wouldn't remedy that?

    I'm on my second pair of the trousers to that jacket. First pair the terrier got hold of, the c**t b*****d thing. They're warm and waterproof! I won't wear them unless it's subzero though otherwise I'll sweat and they're not really breathable at all. They're my go to for digging/on the bike and any kind of static shooting (roosting, flighting etc) in the depths of winter. My mate has the jacket for the same thing and he liked it so much his missus has claimed it as her own for whenever conditions are diabolical! I honestly don't think anyone would be disappointed with any of it for t

    "Systemic racism"
  23. Born Hunter
    That's frankly eye opening. Mostly in coppice?
  24. Born Hunter
    I've got Zulu in mind for another terrier if I feel the need for another. Similarly I like Delta, Echo and Tango generally. After seeing it in Nick Stephens book I've liked the name Malice too.
  25. Born Hunter
    Yes there probably was. But that's not how it works, it's not either there or not.
