Greetings from the forest

[Dave B]

I've been one of those shooting partys and on the other side..was poaching a few rabbits with my trusty gunpower stealth air rifle..(google it it's an awesome bit of kit especially with my firearms certificate so it is running around 48 foot lb when on the farm i can shoot on) when suddenly i could see bright lamps on the top of a 4x4 and could hear 22 rimfire going off right by me..never run so fast in my life..they would do more damage to me mistaking me for a rabbit than i could do to them

Always fancied doing a bit of poaching. I've got a few places in mind.

 

[Dave B]

My uncle has shown me a few places to camp unmolested down there

As long as you help with the squirrel problem they won't mind

They ring bark the trees and then the trees die

Illegal to release them if caught so bbq squirrel it is

 

[Dave B]

I poach crayfish and all sorts round this way..i know a good fly fishing group of lakes i sometimes visit at night for trout

A golf course for rabbit and pheasants

Gotta get what you can..biggest for me locally has been a muntjac that just wandered into range

Sounds great.

We've got crayfish locally that I'll be going for soon, and I fancy reducing the pidgeon population a little too as they taste good.

Crayfish is easy..if you want to have fun just tie some bacon on some line with no hook (hence no licence needed)

They will grab the bacon and not let go

Just before they break the surface get the net under them as they let go as they leave the water

I go down the river that joins the canal in ware and can sometimes get a couple a minute

They are all American signals so they are illegal to release so you are helpi g the environment

Closest call to date was a private forest where we walking out 5 minutes before a shooting party was about to walk through. Gun dogs going mental. We got in the car quick as we could.

very funny ! have you ever found anything weird when out camping ? the nearest big forest to me is rendlesham . apart from the famous ufo sighting back in 1980 ,this forest has a reputation for folk commiting suicide in it by gassing themselves in the car

one case in local paper was very memorable ,a guy had driven into a really secluded spot,did himself in but it took ten years for him and his car to be found.

Igot chatting to a familly doing it down the river acrossthe road from my house. How do you cook them?

 

[Dave B]

Big pot of boiling water..pull the tails off and dip in melted butter..mmmm

I know Rendlesham boar..loads of pig farms up that way

My uncle did the hose and exhaust pipe trick in the new forest..what a way to be in the head to do that

We've got all sorts of stories from over the years, most of them are probably of the 'you had to be there' type. My bro in law once kicked over a rotten tree stump and unleashed a huge swarm of wasps on us. They cam flooding out of holes in the ground and were pinging off us as we were running away screaming like girls. We had to ditch the rucksacks, which sucked ass it meant we had to go back for them later.

Really strange you should mention Rendalsham. That was on my shortlist of forests to camp in the weekend as I am very familliar with the ufo sighting there. Its known as englands roswell isnt it? We wanted somewhere a bit spooky for halloween and it fit the bill.

 

[Dave B]

The spookier the better

I learnt years ago that dark is your friend not something to be scared of

I have some stories too tolish

Watching big tough squaddies chucking up while i skin a rabbit for dinner was funny

 

[Dave B]

Would be interesting to see what your survival kit contains..i have all sorts from wax covered matches to fishing line etc..i also have a couple of old mobile phone batteries..even when dead they react with oxygen creating a lot of heat and flame if you stick a knife through one

[/media]9v battery and steel wool works ok too

Many ways to make fire and i know a load of them..always need to be able to make fire

back in 2000 i worked the graveyard shift on security for Chubb on the woodbridge base [it was closed 1993 -2003 but manned and patrolled ] had free reign to walk where i wanted . really creepy, crossing the emergency runway one night i was counting my paces for no good reason got up to about 60 and still not halfway over when suddenly a helicopter come over out of nowhere with a searchlight playing down on me as i ran for cover ! , later going fer a s hit in the bomb dump /// happy nights!

 

[Dave B]

Now that sounds awesome, apart from I dont want to run in to the little pink pr1ck running about- he needs a beating

 

[Dave B]

There's a place near here in Hertfordshire that @Posh may know called cold christmas

Deserted ancient church remains with some old gravestones..very haunted supposedly

We all broke in to the building remains once and did a oueejee board when we were younger

I always remember the gravestone with the name ***** horne

Doing the oueejee board it was "are you there ***** horne?" Lol

I can't believe it has censored the word f anny

 

[Posh]

I know the place @daveyboy1

 

[TolishAPurd]

I checked out some pics of it last night, creepy as fuark.

 

[steve garwood]

Talking of creepy, I thought i spotted a baby dead ghost laying in the kerb this morning. When I had a closer look, it was a handkerchief

 

[Dave B]

This is the place

A good laugh when it's dark..scare the bejesus out of the women
