lurcherboy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Just sat down to watch the late news and felt gutted. 'yobs' have been attacking swans on the Thames with Catapaults and airguns. We are lumped in with them as we shoot! LB :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesspencer_2001 Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I dont understand people like that ive lived around the death of animals most of my life but i just couldnt imagine shooting an airrifle at a swan for fun. When i was a young kid i always got told by my grandparents that swans coulds break a mans arm or leg with their wings not once have i ever heard of one that has. Lets hope that the news will say; THUGS CRIPPLED BY HERO SWAN Spenner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Put one behind the wheel of a Ford Transit mate and they could break a whole lot more. LB :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdfish Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Bear with me on this one. please Genetic engineering being at a level it is nowadays, stick with me , open your minds Would it be possible to cross breed swans with a poison arrow frog frog and a porcupine. OOh Baby. Not only could the big ba#tards break your arm, but under threat could shoot lethally tipped quills into your lowly poaching flesh. if they had to have a name I would call them Amazonian flappy spiky poison bird. latin name pricklusrunlikfucusorridwhiteget only a thought. Jim P.S has anyone ever eaten Swan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 P.S has anyone ever eaten Swan? Yes Jim. It was downed by a power cable in Kent. How the dickens it didn't see it is beyond me, but there you go. The farm I shoot on copped it and I was invited to dinner. Hard to describe the flavour but it was very well cooked and presented. Heard you can do that with Badger as well. LB :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
