Out today for a donner and saw this young lady nice when you see them tight in the woods. But she had got my number. Thought i would share.

Looks like a very remote spot for a kebab shop but its a nice photo,well done !

I suppose it makes a change from meat pies. Which I am lead to believe is Longshots standard means of sustenance.

Davey

Why play the innocent or the confused?

Longshot is non other than SLDG, SLD , Wireviz and many many more as you well know. You have after all posted on his now defunct forum. Some who feel the need for lets call it a bit of butt kissing even refer to him as Davey. I do believe you're right in that he has been banned from this forum along with a few others over the last 5 yeas. I think that might have been one of the reason why he decide to set up his own forum. But that imploded some time ago. But then you and many others are well aware of that particular piece of history.

You also post across the forums as Stone and Flyboy to name but 2. The juvenile style, lack of capitals and grammar to your posts kind of gives the game away.

Its what many refer to as a classic example of operators fist.

How are the dog training days coming along?

I see you mate from up the road latest efforts have all come to nowt. DaveM's little enterprise has stalled as well. Mores the pity as that had the makings of something worth while. But then being camped in the US doesn't help get things moving.

Incredible what a litte focused research on the tinternet can provide ain't it?

Thank you very much Richard I have been taking a few of late with a very Basic Camera and was thinking of getting a better set up so my pictures can improve It is amazing what we see while out in the country side and if i only get pictures of a few then i will be happy .Well harry swede and the Rest i think you will find that i have never been Banned from this forum and do not intent to get banned no matter how you try and at agonise the situation. I do have my own site and if you look at my profile it's written on there .Now you will find i never try to hide and me name is there for every one to see and also were i live .But there are some who troll the Internet causing trouble just because it makes them feel good and i am sure if the members here go back over your posts they will all be negative.

Now Christian Sutton from hitchin just be a good chap and post properly on the forum or you will be banned for i think it is the 10th time.

Bucks fighting for territory.

Longshot

Congratulations on finally seeing the light.

Good to read that you have decided to turn over as new leaf and intend not to get banned any more. Hopefully that will see an end to the swearing, name calling and other unpleasantries we have all witnessed over the years. The other good thing is I see you have conceded and have invested in a spell checker. Something I recall you once claimed and I quote " I have no fecking need for and would never fecking use" unquote. Strange how words posted in haste often come back and kick us in the goollies.

Equally good of you to finally post up a link to your now defunct site on your profile. What keep you from doing so earlier? Like when you first registered perhaps?

Surely you weren't hoping to remain anonymous for ever? I suppose the previous identities did leave a wake of ill will and disgruntlement that many would care be disassociated from and to leave behind them if at all possible

Poor old C.Sutton who ever he might be gets blamed for a lot of things. I have to say you really are peeing against the wind with that one. Personally I don't believe he ever existed. Who in their right mind would register on a site using their real name when they knew the site owner was sharing personal details with all and sundry. Data that was protected under the Data Protection Acts 1998 and 2003 no less. I'm surprise the poster in question didn't report the matter to the ICO, who take a very dim view of such blatant disregard of the law. I suppose a complaint to the sites server would be sufficient to have the site locked down whilst the matter was thoroughly investigated. As server providers are rather zealous about ensuring they don't become the subject of a law suit, due to the illegal actions of one of their hosted web sites. But then I'm sure you are no doubt familiar with how protective server providers are about their legal responsibilities.

Anyway no we have got the introductions out of the way lets see if we can't more the topic forward.

As a complete novice to photography, what would be a half decent choice for a point and shoot pocket camera?

While the rest of us get our kicks stalking deer and other game, Tophand or whatever he's calling himself this week gets his by stalking people across the internet.

Can it really be healthy?

i never realised you studied so much, and still manage to get it so wrong
proper expert
now run along and study some more
just to help with your studies
i hav never been flyboy or ever joined Dave's site
now who's confused. i thought it was me

Dick

Proper expert....hardly! Just someone that knows where to look and can remember what gets posted by whom.

I think it is you who's confused. As I never said you joined DT

Ritchard E i will be upgrading mate thats for sure the Lumax is a great start camera but dose have its limits (a bit like me really) Also will be looking for some really good PHOTO SOFT WARE Anyone got any good suggestions.

PS WHO SAID THE BELGIANS DONT GET STUCK IN.

These chaps were well and truly caught any one who sees Roe Deer has got to just admire there beauty.

That right sport, once read never forgotten.

Its just a knack I have.

Quite right its time to move on. I've made and proved my point. I find continually going over the same ground with the same individual whilst initially amusing, quickly loose its appeal when the same points are scored time and time again.

Dick

Unless Iposted in some strange lost ancient language I have answered the questions. Whether you want to accept them is your choice.

Is that typical?

Ground is ground and only needs to be covered once. To repeatedly repeat oneself is both unnecessary and pointless. Its also boring for those already long disinterested in the ground covered be it new or old.

So rest assure I'm neither shy or unable. I simply choose not to cover the same ground repeatedly.

But feel free to play the game if you so choose. I'll simple keep batting the ball back for as long as you like to keep bowling or as our american readers say pitching.

Pete, This has gone on long enough!!!

No worries i was going to post some pictures of a few succesful stalks this year but thought beter of it as Tophand dont like to see pictures with dead deer in them

There's only so many ways you can take a snap of a dead deer and make it interesting. Once you've seen one dead deer photo you've virtually see them all.

Is it any wonder your old dog looks so damned bored in them. You can imagine him sitting there saying to himself "Jesus! Not another fecking dead deer photo opportunity".

Top hand i disagree its not always about the picture its about the story or article and if there is a picture or to it adds to the realism.
Any way went out for a buck to day and the land had been set on fire so this chap was pushed in from a different area and i am sure i will run into the big fella later on in the season.

Some would argue that once you've shot one Deer, you've shot them all....

SLDG - Do fires cause much reshuffling of territories with roe, or do they tend to move back to their former patches as soon as there's enough regrowth?

How does yet another photo of a dead roe buck surrounded by stalking kit add to the realism?
There are 10's of thousands of photos just like that floating about the internet. Seen one, seen them all!

Not wishing to appear overly critical but what adds to the realism is not uninspired, non originality. Thats just plain boring.

You say the ground had been set on fire and this buck had been pushed in from different ground. What would have added realism and enhanced the account would have been a few photos of the ground conditions, showing the state and extent of the firing, the conditions under foot, and the environment as a whole. As it is all we see is yet another dead deer photo. Unfortunately we don't have a yawning emocon for me to use.

A picture paints a thousand words and all that twaddle!.

True some people might say that. But then I would argue that those that do, don't understand or appreciate the physical, and emotional and often intangible experiences of deer stalking.

None of which you get from a photo of a dead deer.

The ground in that area has been set on fire by the bad lads of the scheme more than a few times and the deer seem to move off for quite a while(on average two weeks or more). Now there are lots of roe on the ground and there is always a young buck waiting to grab an extra bit as in this case. The big lad was about but was not in his usual spot but was in an area that is considered a no go area. He will come back soon as things settle and the new growth comes through. Roe deer are very adaptable to most situations and the turmoils of living next to the roughest scheme in Scotland will i am sure see these deer learning new ways of survival. ( cars being the biggest threat then the lurcher lads followed by the chaps with the none lethal weapons (crossbows air rifle home made tools of torch-er etc) Then we have the fires the list goes on. and to end it all we come in and try some kind of deer management.

May i ask at this time if any one is offended by my pictures at all to send me a pm and i will remove them if not i will continue to post them in along side my writing.

Thanks David

Not at all David.
I think that pictures add a lot to a tread.
I´m not offended at all seeing pictures of animals, dead or alive, and also of nature and stalking fields.

Actually I´m guilty of posting a few myself...

SLDG

Your photos are quite beautiful. I enjoy seeing them and hope you keep posting more.

You too, Arild.


cheers,
