miffy Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 They all count Dougy, well done mate. Another fox buried in the woods, and using a sound mod Sounds like we need to get a posse of normal people together for next year. Fox didnt need to be buried like Simons as they wanted them shot Sound mods are not a problem Stuart so there will me a few more next year Definately need a normal group next year although the "non normals" made for some interesting conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Definately need a normal group next year although the "non normals" made for some interesting conversation As you know mate, it's all talk at this stage but I think we have a full team for next year (you know them so you can judge how 'normal' they are) We just all had too much on this year. I will liaise with our man in the meantime to make sure we get the best chance of success. I agree with Mungler later than November may be better, that will mean we can still get up to Scotland beforehand. Were the leaves off the trees yet?

EMcC Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) I'm back there in December so I'll let you know if the weather makes any difference. It was the first time I've ever been on a driven Boar shoot wearing a T shirt and Hi-Viz vest. I certainly hope to see more pigs on the ground and certainly more than the six shot over the three days this time. The weather should make a difference and as the Keepers/Foresters are out and about every day all day they should have a better idea of where they are and, hopefully, not have so far to bring them forward to the guns.

Mungler Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Were the leaves off the trees yet? Not really; the temperature signs on the over head gantries on the way back to the airport were showing 19.7 degrees C. Lucky really, because at 20 degrees C I will only shoot in speedos and Crocs. As we know, it comes together best when there is snow on the ground. Obviously arranging the weather and wild animals isn't an exact science as the grown ups will know. I can't wait for the next one now..... Oh and yes, the accomodation and grub this year was much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Fantastic sized hog Mung! Are you allowed to bring the meat back to the UK or is that something customs frown on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Stu, maybe a bit on the boring side to have all normal people on the trip, i personaly thing you need some people that are sub-normal to take the micky out of, whether they understand or not (it made me happy anyway) but i must admit i had to get out of the room before i went a bit OTT (10 out of 10 for a little self control) as mungler said we had a good time, and up for next year, Stu you would have wet youself i promise As for those going later i really wish you the best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No that a definate !!! going through customs with a dairylee triangle will get you sent to a croatian prison for 50 years and hard labour so expect something a little harsher trying to bring back a 200lb lump of stinky pig trust me i know from experience (empty 30.06 cases in my coat nearly got me a public flogging 3 years ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your empty case adventure.A friend of mine when he was little stuck a toy gun in his aunts suitcase-just as she was flying back to Canada.To say she was in a whole heap of trouble is a understatement.

Mungler Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) You can eat what you shoot out there; once shot the pigs are sliced and diced within the hour. Worry not, they are not thrown into a ditch I have some photos of the hunting club in action last year setting about the piggies our group knocked over - we are talking a proper middle of nowhere, in a forest, "Hostel" moment as the pigs go onto A frames, are sliced open and end up in 50 equal carrier bags for the beaters to take home.

miffy Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Time for me pack up and take up chess or tiddly-winks - it is truly amazing what an old girl can do with a decent air rifle fitted with an oversize moderator - 600 yd pigs didn't we pace it out at 704 yards? :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Nice fur coat you've got yourself there Andy Who's the handsome chap in the background How does that Hog rate in the medal category then ? BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Obviously we need Mungler's input here but it looks like a (medium sized ) sow from the picture? so wouldn't figure in as a medal at all. Having been through the CIC process, you can take it from me they need to have massive tusks to gain any medal status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 I was the one behind the camara, and to be honest it was rather dark, its not a bad size Boar as far as medals go i would say a tin foil maybe or possibly a brass It was the biggest one shot in our group though, so lets just say it was monstrous i think if you put the 2 i shot together it wouldnt have been any were near the weight of Munglers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 It was a large male that didn't actually have very developed tusks. I think Frank is sending the tusks on, so we'll get the ruler out when they arrive. Gutted I have to wait another year until the next episode.....

EMcC Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Andy, you can join me in spirit in December but I am definitely not going to pose in that hat for anybody If he hasn't sent them on by the time I am there, I'll get the measurments and pm it to you, I'll take a file with me just in case they are too big Edited November 17, 2010 by EMcC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
