An apology
To amorous, flirting with and the Grammar, im very sorry, I ran over one of your namesake last night.

Poor defenceless fluffy animal, or TB riddled pest, I still feel sad :(

So thats now 7 birds, 4 rabbits, a cat, a Muntjac and a badger.

sorry :(

I've always wondered what badger would taste like...

My mate's brother has written off two cars
20 years apart, and both caused by running over a badger.

The same badger?!
Didn't know they lived for 20 years :P

They're Britain's largest indigenous predator, fact fans.

Just to be pedantic
It's 'Muntjac' otherwise known as the 'Barking Deer'.
Did you carve it up for the freezer?

Anyone else thinking
that you could've eaten the deer and the pheasants if they weren't too badly damaged?

Legally I don't think you're allowed to pick up your own roadkill
Although the person behind you can...

People still do though I reckon!

But do you eat muntjac deer? I thought venison was usually red deer?
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Fri 14 Nov 2008, 10:34, Reply)

Muntjac
Is delicious.

And they've got fangs, which is pretty cool!

Me, I got the maximum the game laws would allow:
two game wardens, seven hunters and a cow...

Edibility
We have 6 species of deer over here.
Red, Roe, Sika, Fallow, Muntjac & Chinese Water Deer.
They're all yummy.

One of my ferrets nailed his first rabbit on Sunday, had it for tea on Monday. I love free food.

thanks to taking my mate's whippet for a walk :)

Cooked it for about 6-7 hours, it was nom.

I was honing my tracking/stalking skills a couple of weeks back.
and got within about 20 yards of 3 roe deer.
Something spooked them from the other side of the field and they ran towards me.
They ran straight past and all of them tried to leap a fence. Two of them cleared it but the other got his head stuck in the barbed wire.
I instinctively went to dive on it and just as I got there it freed itself, bumped into me whilst letting out a gruff bleat and bounded off.

I'm not sure what I was thinking at the time and don't know whether I was going to throttle it or free it, all a blur 'twas.

Anyone shoot air rifles here?
I fancy getting back into it.

Recommendations welcome!

There's all sorts on the market these days - pre-charged and springers.

I don't go for the jazzy sales crap and fancy looking space-age stuff.
I have a good solid, tried & tested, reliable and accurate Weihrauch HW80K (carbine barrel). Probably one of the best springers on the market.
It's known as the 'workhorse' and is some top quality German engineering.

Horse for courses though, everybody has differing opinions.

that's a fair old chunk of money.

I was thinking about the 300 quid mark. I've heard good things about Umarex. You heard of them?

(Bear Pookie The Frankly Challenged. Halloween is coming to town., Fri 14 Nov 2008, 12:15, Reply)

Nah
You can get a Weihrauch for about that money, maybe less.
They're not the most expensive on the market, they're just one of the best.
Lovely beechwood stock and two-stage trigger too.
(oneinthepink is at your cervix m'lady, Fri 14 Nov 2008, 12:17, Reply)

Aha
just found it, for a decent price.

Cheers for your help, will let you know how I get on!
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Fri 14 Nov 2008, 12:40, Reply)

Nice
You can't order them online now though, the law's changed.
Get a nice scope for it and you're good to go.
Something like a 3-9x50 should be adequate.

That's ok though...I'll just find another one.
