oh! that reminds me! I must pick up a brace of pheasants for a little dinner party I'm giving later in the week.
Nov 18th, 2014 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So glad it is shooting season again. Nothing better than some fresh game on the table.
Pablo don't come all holier than thou , there is plenty of shooting in Argentina . Loads of Europeans go to Cordoba dove hunting plus we have all seen the pictures on Facebook of the bloke gloating over the 6 pumas he's shot .
Nov 18th, 2014 - 05:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The poor animals are a ) one of the national symbols of Argentina and b ) being hounded to extinction ...by Argentines themselves .
Shooting in the UK is at least sustainable , bird stocks are replenished through rearing and the environment created or retained for shooting ( woods , hedges , cover crops ) also benefit non hunted species , as does predator control of crows , magpies and foxes .
It also puts about U$S70M into the British economy every year .
Fox hunting is the most efficient and humane way of controlling foxes , something sadly not understood by our mostly urban politicians who banned it .
Dog fighting was not invented in the UK but also goes on in Argentina as does greyhound racing , horse racing and cock fighting , often illegally .

Nov 18th, 2014 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0TDC cannot match the superb workmanship available in the British gun trade (inc Edinburgh).
Just look at this example of a PAIR of guns:
http://www.hollandandholland.com/gun_single.php?i=86&l=london&v=&c=
ONLY £151,000.00 or US$ 241,600 for the matched pair PLUS the case.
These guns will only INCREASE in value though they will probably never be sold. Why would you sell them?
Unless you were a moron, or an argie and needed the money.
PS: they are worth at least THREE times what your 50YO V tail Pilot Killer is worth, even if it had a brand new engine and a rebuilt frame to remove the cracks and fractures of the life it has had with your grand-daddy.
I like partridge, and am a bit partial to grouse.

Nov 18th, 2014 - 09:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fox hunting .....banned by act of parliament
Dog fighting ....banned “ ” “ ” “ ”
Cock fighting ...banned “” “” “ ”
Also dog racing..... no harm to the dogs, horse racing...seems popular in Argentina.
Polo, brought over from India, rules established and seems to be popular in Argentina or so you keep boasting.
HAVE YOU A POINT TO MAKE ?

yum yum!
Three pheasants and two grouse have taken refuge in my wood...I've started feeding them....
Nov 19th, 2014 - 12:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0They now come to within a couple of yards of me.....
They have travelled about 7 miles from the nearest breeder.....their usual fate is splattered on the road....they are bred in captivity and released before the Glorious Twelfth into the wild....they haven't got a clue what to do with themselves....
To make matters worse the gamekeeper feeds them each morning by driving along the highway and throwing feed from his truck onto the side of the road....
.....yep.....quick learners...so when a car comes driving down the road...they come running and......SPLAT!....
@13
Nov 19th, 2014 - 01:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why haven't you eaten them? Sounds a splendid dinner, and a free too!
Also, why is the gamekeeper throwing 'feed' from a moving vehicle 7 miles from his flock? For 5 'lost' birds that he doesn't know are gone.
Does this gamekeeper drive down every road in a 7 mile radius from the Estate randomly scatterering bird-food, by hand, from the window of his vehicle?
If so, I would inform the Laird, pronto. Obviously the man's a fool!
Something doesn't add up here....

Nov 19th, 2014 - 01:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Tut tut....city folk.....public roads run right through estates in the Highlands...
Where the gamekeeper has released the birds... is where he wants them to remain....
Which is the area where the shoot is going to be....
Folk who are paying to shoot don't like to go far off the beaten track....
The Gamekeeper will keep feeding the birds for maybe a half mile stretch of road....off road tracks apart from forestry roads are few and far between....
Most Estates that have a road got them by planting a forest in the middle of the Estate and getting a grant from the UK Forestry Commission to build one....(a con)..
On that half mile stretch of road about half a dozen get squashed everyday, so he won't go looking for them....
So anyway the birds have travelled 7 miles from that area and are now safe in my wood, as I prefer to watch them each morning strutting about like little dinosaurs....
If I want to eat game...I'll buy it.....;-)
Yes, I agree with everything you say about the Estates/Forestry Commission etc. Yawn! I know all that!
Nov 19th, 2014 - 02:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0But you said a Gamekeeper was randomly feeding them outside your house, from a moving vehicle, 7 miles from the Estate, even though they had 'strayed'.
Come on!
you were just bullshitting, and I caught you out. Be man enough to admitt it!
Oh, and just get on with making lunch, you wuss, I don't want you to go into town when lunch is in front of your presumably wizerned old face.
:-)
Man up!
You stupid fuck....where did I say the gamekeeper had travelled 7 miles to outside my house....
Nov 19th, 2014 - 02:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0I was explaining to those that don't know, how the gamekeeper feeds all the game birds along a stretch of road..and that's why they get splattered....
You are a small fry Johnny come lately troll....like you could catch me out on anything.....
....if you want to see an old WIZENED face...try the mirror.....before you start painting it...or wearing the one you keep in a jar by the door......
ooohhh! tetchy! hahaah! definitely touched a nerve there!
Nov 19th, 2014 - 02:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pleased to see it!
You don't like being played at your own game, do you?
(I did mention 'game' didn't I, one wouldn't like to go off topic...)
Gotcha!

That was good sport, I always bag something, fortunately you just dived head-long into the soft mouth of my lovely Cocker Spaniel.. although she is best for rabbits , like you.
