jok 3,036 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Stumfelter. Strange you mention such hideous thing but, not far from my home, in a well known Midlands location, not far from Micky, are a number of what can only be described as man traps. Clearly they were laid to catch anyone daring to poach the local deer. I can only say that if you were doing a runner without local knowledge then it must have been 50/50 you'd be caught or without doubt a leg in a minstrosity of a trap. I'm 144.

The badger cull was on local, I rang one perm ( the lady I mentioned earlier) and she said they were up there culling that night, so rang another and was fine...I think they were doing the rounds looking to disrupt the cull and saw my lamp and became a pain in the ass.... The farmer came out and td them to f**k off, but it was obviously just a write off....videoing everything etc etc...I'd rather keep my head down on or off perm...so took em for a walk into the middle of nowhere, more turned up as I was sat watching, flashing lights everywhere...they aren't very inconspicuous...lol.... I didn't want to take them to the motor for obvious reasons... Heard some bad reports from lads involved in the cull, 1 bloke was supposed to have been given a proper hiding off a few blokes, wasted they are paying poles to do the dirty work....only hearsay but woukdnt put it past them.... Culls finished now so hopefully they'll go back into hibernation!! Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
