    how long did he have that on for Gazjon 

    i think he deserves a beer for landing that, amazing capture.

     

     

    Didn't time it but think around 35 mins Chaff, I use the boat to get downstream of them where I can, it usually tires them out quicker. I will offer him a beer but he probably won't take it he's only 14 lol

  2. Physio sorted mine and gave me a few exercises to do whenever it flares back up. Tried dry needling (a bit like acupuncture) as well, but didnt find it much use. Doctor originally told me total rest and wait it out but after 6 months it was murder and I couldn't even pick up a cup of tea without pain. Physio sorted it in about 4 weeks.

  3. A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was
    that there was no after-life at all.
    After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to his word, he made the first contact:
    " Marion .... Marion ... "
    "Is that you, Bob?"
    "Yes, I've come back like we agreed."
    "That's wonderful! What's it like?"
    "Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then it's off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun
    and then have sex a couple of more times.. Then I have lunch (you'd be proud - lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it’s back to the golf course again. Then it's more sex until late at night.
    I catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over again".
    "Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?"
    "No -- I'm a rabbit somewhere near Brisbane......”

    Yes. This lot appeared from nowhere . I think they must've  walked across the fields .

    They make decent jerky (dried meat) if your into it, loads of brine recipes online.

    Did you take the head off it, should make a decent trophy 

    Nope I could smell it from probably a hundred yards away, didn't fancy putting it anywhere near my truck. If it's still there once the coyotes clean it I might grab it, but I shoot plenty of deer anyhow and my son found a nice one last year in the river that wd still done nothing with, its the one on the right in this pic.

  7. Thats how i was taught by my taid (grandad) to make purse nets nearly 50 yrs ago, with a single wooden slider one end (looks like yours snapped in the middle) and just a knot the other end. Reason he gave for no rings was that rings cost money! No idea why triple stranded though.... I bolted plenty of rabbits into purse nets like that and never felt they were worse than a net with rings.

    The crack is to hunt in each state if money allows as season are different across the US .

    Id love to do some of that wild hunting .Might get there but for out of State hunters prices are horrendous .

    Depends where you go and how u go about it foxdropper, each state has different regulations. I know lots of hunters from up here head down to Montana and go unguided for fairly reasonable costs for elk, antelope, turkey etc. Lots of tags available over the counter rather than on a draw or lottery. If u want to hire a guide or outfitter then it obviously costs a lot more, and animals like griz or some off the sheep species will cost u an arm and a leg.... a recent big horn tag here was sold for more than $300,000 USD.

    Some auctions involving bighorn rams have fetched well over $300,000 USD per tag, a...

    Same in Yellowstone mate .Our guide was brilliant at it .We had two packs at it with us in the middle .He’d heard that  only twice in his career there .Next day we were told there was two dead wolves but we never saw them .The bison are Feckin huge mind .Far bigger than I thought they would but cow elk were smaller than I thought .Never saw a bull elk in 23 days .Never saw a wolf either but bears were common as .

    Where we hunt we often hear them howling, and when it's calm / still the howls travel a right distance. We have shot a couple but it is pure chance seeing them. When you drop one the pack will scatter, then quite often start howling to call for the dead one.

  10. Best thing I did was come to Canada 11years ago, and similar to Tilly we have things here I could never have dreamed of having back in the uk. Anyone with a decent trade and half an ounce of work ethic can do very well over here, and although Trudeau is trying his best to f.uck it up for everyone, the freedoms and lifestyle compared to the uk is a no brainer for me. It can be tough the first couple of years but whatsapp/ facetime etc really helps. I have had a couple of friends who came over, and for whatever reasons went back to the uk, both now say they really regret going back. If you get the chance I would tell anyone to go for it, if it doesn't work out u can always go home!
