I'm speaking from my human angle on this one and I don't want to offend anyone here or start a slanging match. Do any of you guys hunt game. I do when I have the chance. I've hunted in Scotland, France, Spain and North America. Mainly taking Chinese water deer, Pronghorns, Pheasant, Pidgeons. I tried Bow hunting as I'm a very good shot at H.T field shooting but it was a bad kill which resulted in suffering. I doubt I'll hunt with a bow again. What are you're experiences?

I support hunting in theory - have never had the opportunity to do it for real. Would like to try game shooting of birds and deer.


I do fish and cook the trout that I occasionally catch - have tried to catch salmon on the River Dee - but with no joy. An excellent day out tho'.

Behave yourself Matthew. From my experience the twits that have animal heads mounted on their property are prone to having a few bob so essentially you'd be enticing a burglar into your home and with me above the door I wouldn't be able to protect your wifes Thripeny bits and Crown jewels now would I?

I'm on it already mate as they've been flogging under weight bags of weed to the local Squirrels and it's high time I sorted them out which means that unfortunatly there's going to be a lot more sceaming and wailing tonight but hopefully the toe cutting should be finished by mid morning.

You're getting much better Woof, much better but I hear that daddies dissappointment was all yours, premature ejaculation can ruin even the most incestuous relationships. If you don't believe me ask your kids as I'm sure they'd be grateful of a few tips to carry on the family tradition.

hit plenty of clays in my time, but nothing breathing.

Not against it in principal, especially if you're going to eat it, just not really had the opportunity.

See threads passim on bullfighting to realise bloodsport isn't a total no-no in my book, just really posh people ;-) (idiots in mickey mouse hats and sequined lycra is obviously fine)

I have shot various furry and feathered things over the years but I don?t really enjoy hunting. I gave it a go (or got roped into it in some instances) and the one thing that killing things taught me is that I don?t like killing things.


I don?t have any moral issues against it though. In fact flogging hunting holidays to poms and yanks who want to bag themselves an African kill does wonders for funding conservation efforts and boosting the rural economy back home.


I do quite enjoy shooting stuff though, just so long as it isn?t alive.


Edited for spilling ehroars.

I've been hunting with friends for quayle in the med many years ago as they like to eat that. There were not many about really so just ended up shooting targets instead. I've also been shooting in the galleries with live ammunition in the Czech republic with a forumite friend, where bizzarly enough you can go into a gun shop rent any gun and shoot in their underground gallery. You need to provide ID such as a passport though. That was then though and maybe things have changed.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
