me Senior Member Offline I sling therefore I am.

I think given another chance and better conditions I could bring one home for dinner.

lol lol i was wondering if he suffered from a bad case of 'now, where the heck did THAT rock go.......?" thud

I hope not !

Spookily I was shooting at nothing last night, lobbed a lead shot into a bush and out jumped a roe deer. If I had killed it I would have had no idea what to do - Deer always belong to someone over here !

You would have had to butcher it up post-haste and then hoof it out of there. My dad lived in Yorkshire as a kid during ww2. They were really poor and irish so they would fish and hunt with military surplus. They would throw flash-bang grenades in the creeks, wade in and grab all the fish they could carry and run home lickety-split!
