    Something's take time!!

    This hunt has taken a toll on me! Nights of up at all hours, with no result! I have hunted this barstard for the last three weeks! I've killed what I'm sure are his kin! But he remained elsusive ...giving me a glimps of himself heading from cover to cover! I've dogged him hard to the point I may have ruined my hound! My realationship suffered as I couldn't get the one animal I wanted!

    The land owner was putting the heat on and started to question my abilities she wanted him gone and questioned my hunting abiltites , he started to take the piss and was seen closer to the homestead!

    I considered getting better gear night vision, lazer sights ,a larger calibare , even A-Cat!

    I hunted him in the morning and dogged him at night ,laid in wait , drank beer and laid cunning plans! Finally exhausted frustrated and broken! I submitted to setting traps...still he eluded me...it was like he was reading my mind!

    Until today, today of all days, this day will go down in history! A great day .Victory is mine! I caught on to his trails with a good dog showing the way we followed him to his whare! Laid out a trap as cunning as all hell!

    Victory is mine! Rest easy my quarry you were an worthy adversary!

    Good one Joe, always remember though,"The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese".

    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    Hahaha. According to that very cunning dog, there is still a rat at the top of my clematis shrub.

    Well done lad, I will pass on the great news to Stingray senior. He will be proud as

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    That was the best build up I’ve read in some time, I was waiting to see the stag of all stags! I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed haha, glad you got that pesky bugger in the end!

    Had one like that living and rustling around in our roof.
    Was driving the missus crazy but cause Im pretty deaf didnt bother me.
    Set traps but I think the prick set them off with a stick.
    Chewed through the rangehood ducting and some wiring.
    Finally caught it, was a monster.
