Lets see your Guns.

I had a slot for a .308 once. The FO asked me how many rounds I wanted to keep at any one time so I asked for 600. When the ticket came back it had 600 .308 and 600 7.62 entitlement on it......

You asked for thirty rounds....what was it, a Howitzer....

Here's a quick snap of my small but potent 22.250 with the relatively new addition of a sound moderator. Sadly due to the girlfriend I don't get to use it as much as I would like too

'tis the season to ponder ingrained behaviour and our complete inability to drag ourselves out of the dark ages of land management.

 

Enjoy your whizz, pop, bang boys. It's time for the adults to have a go.....

Please expand on your gun free land management theories, particularly how they relate to places like Scotland and New Zealand....

Let me explain.

 

Firstly you spend most of your life in an Office.

 

Then you conjure up invisible Wolves made from Lentils with poisonous Fangs that roam around in Packs.They dispatch Deer,Wild Pigs,Goats and sheep while they are asleep.Due to the poisonous bite the feral animals feel no pain,then devour the entire animal.

 

When the population of feral animals is extinct,the Wolves deconstruct themselves thus avoiding eating Farmers Livestock.

 

Its all very simple Tom.

All I'm saying is that, with the dulcet tones ringing throughout the countryside at this time of year. It makes sense to ponder how we got here and where we are going.

 

All that's left are the scraps, our fore bearers have seen to that by triggering the largest extinction event the earth has seen as we moved out of Africa and around the globe. Things did not get better with the advent of the gun. When Europeans first brought guns to the Americas, flocks of passenger pigeons could be seen that were so large they would take 14hrs to pass by. It wasn't long before it was extinct, hunting and habitat loss. That is just one of thousands of examples of why there is a better way to manage land/food than in the wild with a gun. It is an image that will haunt me till I die. What if?

 

I think that we should let our obscurely perceived dominance and superiority slip away and let some of the natural systems that evolved long before us take the strain.

 

At the mo we farm fields without animals and rear animals without grass, that's why the supermarket trough is so poor, without that well reared deep flavour. And wild biodiversity is the keystone to it all. The gun has no place in that anymore, or at least, in the long term it hasn't. We are not the only apex predator, there is a web of life out there waiting to be exploited by our so called massive brains.
