A few posts went by, you need to clar-ify ;-)

Is that supposed to be funny?

Pearson, my comment was aimed at all my baseless, selective detractors. And I don't have a "bow fetish", either. I just can't be bothered with all the fuss and police intrusions that come with owning a firearm in this country.


Aquarius moon, I don't have a "sick hobby". You're predictable sticking your fingers in your ears and falling back on a popular rebuttal without offering a reasoned reply. Sucks to be you.


Annette Curtain, what I can only assume is your husband must be very proud of himself to have shot a Coyote. He is exactly the sort of pathetic, cowardly parasite that gives conscietious hunters a bad name. Or did he do the animal justice and eat it?


Captain Scarlet, I don't hunt bears. They're are a protected species in the countries where I hunt with a bow. And whenever I hunt, I do so in a way that gives the beast I'm stalking a sporting chance of survival. Many of my quarry have escaped my stomach.



Hunting with both a bow and a crossbow is illegal in the UK. I never said/wrote that I take large game in the UK with either. I quite clearly stated that I go abroad. But yes, hunting with a dog of whatever breed is illegal in the UK - I don't support it, as I've made quite clear throughout this thread.

I have a firearms license and I own a shotgun for the record.


So, what fuss and police intrusion do you speak of.

Fairly straight forward procedure to go through.

Also, how would you know if you don't have a license?


Just asking.

Pearson, a shotgun license is a fairly straight-forward proceedure. A full-bore license, however, is not. To be deemed responsible enough to own a full-bore weapon you must submit yourself to a gradual and arduous progression through calibers increasing in size. This proceedure also requires mentoring. The police also scrutinise any weapons you keep your property, and how they are secured. They do this every six months, so I'm told. I prefer a bow or a crossbow because it's more in tune with nature and it is less demanding in a legal sense.


I know all of this because I've asked. There's no conspiracy on my part, however which way you go about implying it.


Oh, and to counter the argument that bow hunting is inhumane. Studies have found that using a kill head competently will not result in the beast suffering more harm than if it was taken with a gun. Besides, there are many variables to contend with on both weapons to reach an absolute comparison. And to quell any suspicion that I attached an image of a kill head to cause friction, this is what is legally not permisable when taking large game, across the EU and North America. It is what's used in target and field archery. It's called a pile or bullet head:

"Aquarius moon, I don't have a "sick hobby". You're predictable sticking your fingers in your ears and falling back on a popular rebuttal without offering a reasoned reply."



I've already replied. You only see it as unreasonable, because you don't agree.


I see any form of hunting as cruelty, whether it is fox hunting, shooting, or using a crossbow.

Hare coarsing, badger baiting, dog fighting etc. etc.

I am against all of it.


Animals have a right to live on this planet, the same as us, without having to suffer the fear & pain inflicted on them

by humans, just to give the perpetrator a cheap thrill.


Are you telling me that the deer you hunt, do not feel anything, when you stalk, then shoot them with your 'high tec'

bow & arrow?

It is illegal here because it is cruel.


Animals are living creatures, not just pieces of meat, put on this planet to be abused for your enjoyment.


And I am not a hypocrite. I practise what I preach, so I hope your earlier post was not referring to me.

Aquarius moon, I don't feel any sorrow or remorse when I stalk and cleanly kill a deer. I see it as prey. And even if I were to, unintentionally, cause my quarry suffering with a bad shot, I'd probably just feel frustrated. But I would swiftly cut its throat or drive a blade under the base of its skull, so as to not prolong any undue agony.


It would seem that we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one.

No, you illiterate cretin. I'm defending my position, and by doing so, explaining mine and others' methods to offer a wider understanding to those who aren't familiar. But tell me something, Tarot. Are you and Pearson one and the same? I ask because you both display a suspiciously similar incompetence when it comes to typing.

Boy am I glad that U.K gun laws exist.


I can see "Guns & Ammo" all neat & orderly on a bedside cabinet.

Scribe, you "illiterate cretin", are you an Annette actually two sides of a split personality?

Scribe I really don't understand why you're being so aggressive on this thread. I'm sure you knew a thread like this would be quite contentious?


I know you're being judged and whether this is fair or not it is a public forum that you've posted on and people will have theit opinions. I'm also not saying you're the only one being aggresive but given that you started the thread maybe a touch of diplomacy wouldn't go amiss?


Apart from anything else I don't really understand the thread. It's not a discussion more that you wanted fellow hunters to contact you so maybe it should really go in the wanted thread. If it had the admin might have asked people who wanted to debate the subject to start a thread in the lounge. Just a thought.

Zeban, I'm not being aggressive, I'm being tenacious. I simply initiated a thread that cordially invited other hunters to discuss and swap details. It was then hi-jacked, and I defended my position with equal measure. I admit that I've perhaps over-stepped the mark once or twice, but I felt it necessary to stave-off what I perceived as aggressive, group harrassment, engaged in inflammatory supposition. You'll also notice that I haven't on any occasion used bad language or issued threats against my detractors. Overall, I've remained quite calm.

Me, no I'm fine, really.

    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
