My advance apologies Waz77 if the following is not to your liking but a paltry 107 posts affords you no right to be so pessimistic on The Stalking Directory!

You're right K, I must get my act together
No I was certainly NOT encouraging or advocating any such thing! Rather the opposite .........
Apologies accepted.

Don’t think so mate, lol
Nope, just funerals
Double post
BANG ON POSTI just hope in that 30 min drive you don't break down or have an accident. I have no contact with others but the PM said isolate (even more today) and a colleague on here has a wife very involved with infectious diseases. If she says people are nuts for carrying on travelling about and shooting I listen to her as she would take my advice reference stalking.
I was thinking I would carry on at one stage but listening to front end experts I saw the light.
my wife is a doctor -
And me being a " bloke " I've said bollox to it all ,,
But my sensible side has now said ,
Chill out n stay in watching telly ( which I don't do , or listen to the news or read tabloids )
My wife's colleague s from Germany told her 4 weeks ago ....
I've stopped being an arrogant / masculine prick now
So should we all ..........
Take heed n listen gents ,( think about it like .... Breaking your leg , your out of action for a few weeks . But in a few weeks you will be back to normal , as long as you don't feck your cast off and try to circumnavigate the laws of physics )
Do you get what I'm saying ????!
Just chill. For a few weeks and enjoy, just chilling out
Feck it

Evening, well i own my ground and we have a lot of chickens and my next door neighbor has lambs, I'm just in haven been round with the rifle and thermal checking for foxes..... I haven't heard anything about vermin control and given my eggs are our source of protein and we also eat the chicken I will continue to protect from the foxes and protect the lambs too.

Any stalkers turn up to my land they will have their permissions removed and never asked back, as land owners where do I know where you have come from touched my gates and fences. Pretty straight forward its 3 weeks and then reviewed if the virus spread has slowed or gone you can go out. I doubt the land is going to fall into disrepair in a month a couple.of bucks and few foxes wont destroy the place. It's this naivety that has left Italy with 5000 plus dead they thought is was a joke. Most forestry companies have closed down the Woodlands to shooting anyway.
I work for the ambulance service on a rapid response vehicle and also on an ambulance, my wife is a nurse on icu/mau with a combined 25years in the NHS, we have both looked after multiple patients with Covid, both of us have never seen a virus or disease that can make you so critically unwell in such a short space of time, talking to them one minute and in hours be on a ventilator or dead. Also so massively contagious It really is scary, I just wish people would take it seriously, young or old you really are in danger from it. So if you can avoid going out I would strongly advise it. The less people go out the shorter the “lockdown” period will be. Stay safe out there people

It's not about stalkers, if there's say 100k stalkers in the UK all thinking I'm alright Jack, I'm not hurting anyone so I'll carry on as normal. Then all the fishermen, they're not hurting anyone either, so they carry on as normal, another few hundred thousand there, a few hundred thousand golfers what harm can they do, etc...

You have to draw the line somewhere though.
All those Pringle sweaters, pink shirts and questionable trousers ....... should be in permanent quarantine IMO.

Stay at home, Stay at home. But if the government regulation has caused you to lose your job and now you have 6 months of lockdown with no job and the landlord throws you out? Well where is home now the street, a tent? How does one stay at home if you are homeless?
That is the issue facing a lot of people.

landlords can't throw you out, mortgages can go on hold, if people just adhere to this it will be easier and far better for people, if people carry on then it will only be far worse, this has shown me how selfish some people really are and also how blinkered they are.

For how long can people live rent free, how long can you live rent free and no food because you have no income? How long before the economy can restart when businesses have collapsed overnight and there is no work if you come out on the other side?
I don't hear any politicians discussing this, much other than a stimulus. Well a stimulus can only go so far when the interest rates are almost zero. There will be billions of people on the unemployment line after this and that will be a cause of civil unrest.

The supermarkets are all still open,
butchers shops are all still open too
thank god!
So what does lock down and social distancing mean?
Is it safer to visit a germ filled supermarket to buy meat as oppose to harvesting your own meat, totally alone and away from any other human contact?
I appreciate there are issues as regards human contact at game dealers, so selling carcasses is a non starter.
However out of interest to the "armchair experts" on here, what qualifies farmers and abattoirs to still continue to operate as normal, over the likes of deer stalkers and game dealers? What is the difference?
I'm not arguing the lock down decision, and I shall abide it, but common sense needs to prevail too.
The abattoirs all have multiple staff working together, they also meet with farmers as they drop off livestock. This is essential for putting meat into the human food chain. Yet people on here are happy to say the venison trade is not as important and can wait?
Perhaps it is? As it does not feed the majority of the population? It's a difficult decision but my rifles are going away for a while until it blows over!
It disappoints me to read so many negative posts about people taking deer for their own consumption for the table during this alarming time.
Many people on here are too quick to make assumptions and judge about others circumstances, particularly what they can afford etc.
I certainly treat meat as a luxury. I have a tight budget to feed a family of 4 on. If I didn't trade venison for other meat we'd just eat venison and supermarket chicken.
Its funny how the same people that are happy to agree that we only buy pre pack meat in the supermarkets during this lock down period are also whingeing about the new influx of farmed NZ Venison that has taken over the uk market well before Coronavirus.
