I just don't think foreman was as good as most people say.
Giant? 6' 3" and 225lb at his heaviest, before he came back after a 10 year layoff.
So why have I seen the same clip of foreman saying he 'wanted no part of Mike tyson' at least a dozen times?!
Kin el, can get a very good springer for about a fifth of the price of most of these newer type pcp's.
Rats, crows etc, won't know or care what type of air rifle that the pellet that ended it's life came from!! lol
Yes, I know pcp's are a lot quieter etc etc, just mulling things over in my mind lol.
Not yanking ya chain, but how do you work that out?
Surely, in a multiple birth scenario, eggs pups, kittens, whatever, you'll get hit and miss in all of them?
Like I said, I don't know the intricacies of breeding, sex chromosomes etc etc.
Comedy gold doesn't even come close to that particular set of posts. Definitely still the funniest things I've ever read on this site.
And yes, he certainly knew his native finch genetics, breeding etc 100%.
3/4 bred being too small and slow? Not too sure about that.
But, I agree, a pure whippet would 'probably' be a better choice, depending on the land etc.
All this sort of talk reminds me of when I was in school, and I took 'rural science' as a subject, not 'gardening'.
Mr Hickman was our teacher, drummed into us the importance of a good, friable loam, especially for beets and tubers!!
