Being a newbie to forums and their etiquette I never really introduced myself (my apologies for that) but as I’ve learnt a few things since then…. I’ve learnt from bogflogger for instance that you can skirt the forum rules about not posting insults but putting them in the comments section...

Definitely not a myth! I've hand caught six; four of those times it was around New Year, when the cocks seem to be hanging about with a small harem. If you approach them the cocks hang back in a Darwin Award-winning show of bravado and if you worry them to fence lines they can claim said prize...

I really find the middle class censorship side of this site annoying! I mentioned this because all four people in the house at the time mentioned it too when asked the question - one based on a prosecution they remembered from their childhood. It's just a question of statistics. I find it really...

Top one a Russula sp.(what does it smell like?) bottom.... shaggy parasol? though the tint to the photo makes it look fly agaric :D Edit; yes dave k is probably right looks more Amanita after a cup of tea not nice!

Classic :lmao: but then they don't actually eat them do they!

Free association……Woggles…helicopter Activities….camping in more or ,more often, less adventurous places. Other comments….Adults with a dubious interest in children. (You asked so I posted. This view will hopefully be outdated by modern police checks right? No offence meant!)

I'd urge you not to put words in my mouth. It is not a no it's what it says. No one on this thread has said cats are a "major" cause of decline in bird numbers. They are indisputably a needles contributing factor and indeed a major threat to some rare species in some places as the article you...

Unfortunately the RSPB depends upon the goodwill and donations of many cat owners so naturally their policy doesn't include telling the truth about cats.Political reality. I worked with/for them for a year they didn't like cats. Naturally the decline in bird numbers is not down to cats...but...

If you're into the welfare of fish you don't fish full stop. If you're concerned with not causing unnecessary suffering then the fish you catch you eat. If you couldn't care less, you catch fish, tire them out and then release them so you can do it again next week. The laws concerning fishing...

Great! That is new to me..I like learning new stuff. :D Spike looks like it could be at a better angle....you could leave a bit of it though?

Sometimes it's not a question of "get off my towny lawn" :confused: . Sometimes its get out of my woodland habitat containing Schedule 1 listed species etc. :cool: The point is people who want nothing to do with cats shouldn't be experiencing the inconveniences and costs ascosiated with...

Wow ! So if a deer dies over the middle line no traffic can pass untill someone has informed both game licence holders/land owners and the deer has been very carefully sawn in half to be taken away by such. That's the kind of common sense I like. :lmao: And how did humans ever manage to...

Illegal where!? Lots of members don't live in the UK and many will have fished all over the world! It is probably illegal to cut down trees with herring so there! :D

I visited the falkland Islands aboard a Spanish squid trawler (thats true :D ) They ate nothing but guddled trout (that might not be :rolleyes: ) so I reckon we should be able to discuss it. Can you guddle sea fish in an estuary? A 4lb bass once jumped into my boat when starting the motor does...

I like it! :lmao:

I have owls for that :D

:lmao: :lmao:

Love to. But my attempts at snaring stemmed from utter failure at this method. Theoretically, don't you have to have perfect river banks to do this? I always ended up hanging down out of trees or lying on uncomfortable rocks in the river and would end up fidgeting. Can’t you post a tutorial...

:rolleyes: :censored: How fast do you have to be going to do this? I've never managed this in my life and had hundreds of oportunities as it were? :confused: :offtopic: On topic make sure road kill is fresh! and prepare it quick...internal injuries might taint meat without obvious...

Torjusg...how do you make it i.e. get the cutting edge and how often do you have to sharpen it/how quickly does it wear out? :)
