Clamps Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I found a dead snake (about 4ft long) and a teddy bear - all on the same walk around. I wondered if they had been in a fight and the snake lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Well I have a funny story to tell. I took my son shooting with me in a small but good belt of trees to bag a few woodies one afternoon/night. I always let my old black lab off and as she worked the dyke out she flushed a 'Peacock' It wobbled and fluttered its way around the corner and was sat in the branches of the trees. I said to Joe 'be careful not to shoot the bloody thing' jokingly pointing out it was not a woodpigeon. The first pigeons come in and circled before aiming for the trees where Joe was, I head his shot but didnt see if he had shot anything but I heard a massive crash !!! I went to him as he was laughing like crazy and found the Peacock twitching on the ground..my thoughts were he had shot it. Aparently as he shot at the pigeon (which he bagged) the shot startled the Peacock and the branch it was perched on snapped and it crashed to the ground in a heap. Suddenly it picked itself up and run like hell towards the nearest house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Do you know how hard it is to plough a seagull in ? I've only managed one after ploughing alot of acres ! Never managed it myself. Ploughed in my snap box when it fell out the back once. I was gutted, been saving my sarnies all day as it was going to be an epic day.

Poacher Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I once found a pair of trainers with some boxer shorts on top as if both of them had been step'd out off. Both were covered in a pile of poo. I can only imagine somebody had taken there pants off and got down for a dump in their trainers with their trollies around their ankles and made a massive error of trajectory. To this day the image of what must have happed cracks me up. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 ive never found anything interesting though. But one of my farmers has a little private underpass beneath a motorway, and they once found a broken open safe in there. Apparently the police forensics said it was a real tough one that must have taken a pro a long time to crack. so must have had something pretty valuable inside im guessing... No such luck for this mob: Gas Board (yep, many years ago) van found abandoned in a very narrow lane in the middle of town early one Monday morning with a locked safe in the back which had been removed during Saturday or Sunday night from the Co-Op offices outside of which the van was parked. Father ended up in court explaining why. The van, one out of 20 or more, had been 'borrowed' from the (not so) secure fleet car park. It was suffering from a sticking starter solenoid and until the replacement arrived Father had shown its driver where to tap if on the odd occasion it failed to start. It was doubly unfortunate that not only did our boyos nick the wrong van - Murphy - but it just happened to break down at the wrong time - Sod.

gamekeeper1960 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Talking to a farmer about what odd items i find when strolling about the fields, he recalled when he caught a fox "pinching" his kids toys from the garden. Personally i've found golf balls, tennis balls, odd shoes and toys to name a few that i can think off the top of my head. What have you found ? I've, found all sorts of stuff over the years favorit of the fox is the old golf balls though our nearest golf course is 5 miles away and some one dumped about 300 (yeah 300) pairs of lady Knickers the old bill got told they came and took them away said theyed been nicked from all over norfolk, we used to have a bloke come and do some metal detecting he did a field beside where I used to live turned out he'd found musket ball a silver thimble and blokes wedding ring, I did tell him to go put the ring back as I'd only throw it there about a year earlier. best find ever was a neolithic hand axe which is now in the castle museum at norwich. gave me a great trill to think that the last person to have held it was about three thousand years ago.

What have you found ? there's a few golf balls in my neighbouring field since i took up golf personally the best stuff i've found was a clean collection of pornos, stuffed in a bag behind a sitty tree.

feaks Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 My Dad and i were out with my dog chasing rabbits and we found a tortoise. It was years ago just after the import ban had started and the ol'man sold it on. Never did find out how much for. Also around the same time the dog caught a silver pheasant which i took home alive and we kept it in the rabbit pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
