We stayed in a castle outside of Edinburgh in a town I can't recall (nor the name of the castle)---just a short motorway trip to the city. Drove up to Loch Ness, Sterling and the central highlands. We really want to go back some day---have been to England and Wales a couple times, but that was the first in Scotland and there was much more to see than we had time for.

Members Melodeous Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Glenn---I respect your choices. I will not argue moral judgments in most cases, as it is fruitless. But in terms of judging something as "wrong", how do you reconcile that with natural resources management. Perhaps you have not experienced what urban/suburban sprawl can do to upset an ecosystem. I grew up in a farm town and have spent the last 3 decades in a suburban area. I understand the differences and how wildlife is impacted.In the early 1900's, Michigan's deer herd was estimated at about 50,000 (severely reduced by market hunting in the late 1800's). It is currently somewhere between 1.5 to 2 Million. As that deer herd burgeoned, so did housing developments, strip malls and expressways. Habitat disappeared. As more and more family owned farms failed, food sources declined. As the population shifted from rural to urban, fewer and fewer children were raised in a hunting environment. The tradition was not passed along as before. Natural predators became essentially non-existent.The Michigan State police reports about 60,000 car/deer crashes every year. Plenty go unreported. People are sometimes killed in these accidents. The deer rarely fair well.We modern humans have forced our way into and significantly changed a natural system. We have to accept that fact and determine how to manage the resources we have affected. Sometimes, that means replacing natural predators with hunters. Tautologically speaking...

Members Dave W. Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Been away for a few days. For the vegitarians who don't believe in killing to eat, well to each his own. To the meat and foul eaters who are anti hunting, well you just have others doing the killing for you. Seen too many deer starve and get killed by cars, something has to manage the herd.

Members Tartanlad Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Apparently I got your wee kilt in knots. I was having a bad day - nothing against your quirky wee country. I hear it's got some places that are almost NZ-like in their beauty. If yeee tried the fish from Nyew Zealand yee'd like it plenty, aye. I reckon it was the other way around laddie think i got your knickers in a twist and getting you were But come here say in july approx then cant beat Scotland as long as u go to the right areas as with anywhere there's many numpties here alsoa few miles north say of Edinburgh 15/25 miles north many numpties (drunks) the lassies wuid drink u under the table in the smaller towns/villages there. Best heading up North to the Highlands where the scenery is by far the best and also quieter small villages around.

Members rjoxyz Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Tautologically speaking...Sometimes, you have to make a point from several angles to make sure it gets across. The subject matter is poorly understood by many. I also decided to veer off the lecture and discuss haggis and eels, but apparently not soon enough for you. My apologies.

Members Chordchunker Posted November 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 I saw a group of about 20 does last night at the beginning of my driveway. Been practicing and sighting in my rifle for Sat. Haven`t seen alot of bear sign this year but you never know when one will show up.. I doubt I would shoot one as there just aren`t that many around here, same with big cats. Haggis? Oh well I know guys that eat Bull Balls ...people will eat any {censored}ing thing.

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted November 22, 2009 Members Share Posted November 22, 2009 Yesterday, my buddy Tommy dropped off his .270 and asked if I could do something about the scope coming loose all the time, making it hard to hit anything accurately...turns out that the screw-holes were stripped. After retapping them, I'd ordinarily go sight it in, but I had to head out to last night's gig, so I promised him that I'd do it first thing this morning, so that he could get an early start on his hunting today...I got up to feed the stock then got right to the sighting in process, and got it pretty close, then took it outside to fine tune it.As I was walking out to my target set-up, I noticed that my goats were kinda agitated, so I checked out what was disturbing them...it was this fellow, intently laying down a scrape...he probably should've been paying better attention, instead. 12 points and a lot of venison! When Tommy got here a short while ago, I showed him the buck and assured him that his rifle was reasonably well sighted-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
