Is it just Wednesdays and Sundays at the moment? I ask as somebody who occasionally goes hill walking and prefers to avoid hunting days for this pastime.

Again Jerry you presume !
I have hunted from the age of six all over the globe. My father in-law was a well known gun maker for 70 years and his father before him hunted in the wilds of India for 50 years.
My family have hunted for three generations in Cyprus, Germany, India and the UK so are fairly savvy about country ways and hunting.
In short I have a little knowledge, but I am always willing to learn more from such an experienced chap like yourself.
Regards

2 Saturdays ago I was woken at 3am with strange noises. I thought the aircon was broken and making wierd noises. I opened the window and sure enough it was the noise of migrating quails and this is right in the middle of paphos town. I was told by hunters the next day that they shot a few quail. I am sure a few would have been shot around Ladouro area in Larnaca.

For once I absolutely agree with you. I could teach you an awful lot and I don't feel the need to boast about my family history in order to do so.

Its Wednesdays and Sundays everyday around here.

Killing for pleasure is a huge industry if you take into account the restaurant trade, with recipes like lobster thermidor, lobster ala americane (boiled alive), live oyster apetizers etc. and not to mention food porn in the form of TV chefs' programmes, recipe shows etc. People like Ramsey and Oliver have become multimillionaires capitalising on eating, ie killing, for pleasure.

What is the problem with you puritans? Is it the killing or the pleasure? If it is the former then eat rocks, because even plants are sentient beings that do not at all enjoy being plucked and eaten. In fact plants that are overgrazed develop toxins to fight back. On the Greek island of Dia near Crete, where wild goats are totally "protected" and have overgrazed the island to all hell, professor Karageorgis reports that the vegetation is now 90 per cent toxic to goats. The island is superb example of erosion and mismanagement all because some politically correct assholes would not allow the culling of 15 to 20 goats a year. Now we are heading for a ruined island and no goats because all will starve to death.

Why don't you "innocents" protest at the opening of the fishing season? Do you even know we have a fishing season" Ofcourse not, you lying hypocrites!

Short end of it- you do not like it, then do not do it. But get off your moral high ground, you are not perfect.

Purdey,

Can you reveal which gunmaker?

FACTOID

The canton of Geneva in Switzeirland banned hunting in 1974.

Ten years later the authorities issued a report titled Dix ans sans chasse- Ten years without huinting, chock full with facts and figures, here is a sample

In the years 1948-1974 the hunters of the canton killed a total of 48 wild boar.

From 1974 to 1984, in just ten years the "experts" of the forestry auhtorities killed over 600 (SIX HUNDRED) wild boar. This is the fascist ecologically "correct" way of managing wildlife.

Aissihtir alites!

They are having similar problems in South Africa with regard to elephants, they now have too many of them and have to carry out culls!

[Nikitas]

"they now have too many of them and have to carry out culls! "

Same in Europe with wild boar, roe and red deer. But tell that to the puritans and their response to culling is yes, as long as no one enjoys the experience. The problem with these bums is not the killing, but the pleasure.

Yet when it comes to animals they will tell you that predator animals need to hunt to maintain their well being. It is only humans who are under the control of their idiotic rules and rgulations.

Damn puritan sons of bitches!
