brooktrout Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 I Havent heard much in the press lately about these phenomena, Is the "big cat" **** just a winter hysteria byreporters needing to fill the blank pages of a local "rag" at a time of year when news is scarce? Lets be realistic, guys like us are about the countryside at all times of day and night, all year round. All ive ever seen is the occasional farmyard tabby prowling around for the odd young rabbit. Still, never mind, there are those "crop circles to look forward to reading about soon. {funny how they never seem to appear in hayfields}, why only corn? Have those aliens got a fetishabout grain crops or what?. Mind you, Ive been guilty of creating more than one "crop circle" in a cornfield in my courting days!. How about you Cranfield?.

dead-eye-dick Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 No, he's not guilty. The goat was tied up the farmyard and the rope wouldn't reach the cornfield.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hyperthetical situation, you are out with your trusty .308 getting the cull, when you see a panther come out of the bushes (lets say 50 yds away) and look meanicingly at you, do you: a) Keep still B ) Run like st*t off a shovel c) Jump at it and in a big voice go "boo" or d) Shoot the b*sterd between the eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brain dead Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 whats this jon, instead of running like **** off a shovel we're running like stit of a shovel and we're now shooting the b*sTERD and not the b*stArd, personally i'd do all 4 but obviously not at the same time. i expect you'd stand there and blow its head off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daviddjlloyd Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Now now, lets not all become too flipant about the subject. With all the reports of siteings of BIG CATS one must say that some of them are genuine. I for one almost sure we saw a BIG CAT over Stratford way ,near Bearley. We , Ernyha, and myself were looking over a field and at the end of the field we saw a black cat. Now the distance to the end of the field was about 500-600 yards and i don`t think you would have seen a domestic cat at that distance. So the mystery continues --??

brooktrout Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Tiercel, I know that the Turks only fielded half a side last week but the final result will go on record. Good luck in the new regional division. Up the Jacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooktrout Posted May 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2003 Tiercel, If your mate continues to miss those crop circles, improved cylinder or slightly longer lead should solve the prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I. countrysports U.K. GARY Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 I HAVE NEVER HAD A SIGHTING OF A BIG CAT IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT I DO KNOW A KEEPER FRIEND THAT HAS SEEN A VERY LARGE BLACK CAT... ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN... THE KEEPER IS A GOOD FRIEND, (definately not a ********ter) HE SAW THE CAT JUMP OVER A TRACK FROM ONE WHEAT FIELD TO ANOTHER. THE TRACK WAS TEN FOOT WIDE, THE CAT WAS THE WIDTH OF THE TRACK, IT WAS VIEWED FROM A DISTANCE OF 150yds IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY... INTERESTINGLY, THIS PARTICULAR SIGHTING WAS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO A WOMAN SAW A BIG BLACK CAT AT THE BOTTOM OF HER PADDOCK, THIS WAS PUBLISHED IN OUR LOCAL RAG, SHE WAS DRAWN TO GO AND LOOK AT HER CHICKEN RUN AS THE CHICKENS WERE MAKING A REAL COMMOTION ABOUT SOMETHING. SHE DISTINCTLY SAW A VERY LARGE BLACK CAT (at least the size of a labrador with a long tail) THIS SIGHTING WAS ABOUT 4 MILES FROM WHERE THE KEEPER SAW HIS CAT. THE KEEPER ONLY TOLD A FEW GOOD MATES ABOUT HIS SIGHTING AS HE THOUGHT HE WOULD NOT BE BELIEVED, EVEN THOUGH HE FOUND SEVERAL PUG MARKS IN SOFT MUD THAT WERE CLEARLY NOT THE MARKS OF YOUR AVERAGE DOMESTIC MOGGIE APPARENTLY, THE LAW CHANGED IN RELATION TO KEEPING THESE ANIMALS IN 1976 (before the change in the law they could be kept without licence, without any guidance on how they should be securely caged ect) WHEN THE LAW CHANGED PRIVATE COLLECTORS LET THEM OUT AS THE NEW LAW'S HAD STRINGENT RULES ABOUT HOUSING AND LOCAL AUTHORITY INSPECTION... I KEEP AN OPEN MIND REGARDING THESE ISSUES, IN MY BOOK.... THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE CHECK OUT THIS INTERESTING WEBSITE FOR MORE INFO ON THIS SUBJECT... www.big-cats.co.uk ALL THE VERY BEST...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Dear reader Please note that in the above post the right hon. mr Buzzer's last word in his statement is "FLASKS" please identify that the use of the "s" on the word flask(singular) turns the said singular word into a plural word...... You may draw your own coclusions from the carrying of more than 1 hip flask at a time but for me.....buzzer was bladdered all the best yis yp :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
