rimfire4969 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Anyone been called out to do a bit of pest control yet? That's going to call for a bigger than average load. Would it make you the last hunter of English big game ever? HMR at about 400 yards would be fine for a lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 haha very good lol On a serious note I now the area well, if you look at the map below you can see Earls Hall Drive and the field where the 'lion' was spotted. A few hundred yards to the left is Parkford Shooting Centre, (the skeet layouts are clearly visible). I think they're open today. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 its very open where would a lion hide? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 its very open where would a lion hide? Just under that red 'A' on the right?Can't see a thing under that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 its very open where would a lion hide? There's a lot of farmland round there, and a couple of pretty large woods? Just under that red 'A' on the right?Can't see a thing under that. If I was a lion I'd hunt down Brian May and hide on his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 If I was a lion I'd hunt down Brian May and hide on his head. Plenty of good cover there,whereas it would slide off mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storme37 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 the woodland is a good choice for the lion how big are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Does anyone seriously think that if the police actually shoot a lion that they would go public about it? I think it will be kept quiet in the interest of public safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
