Out walking the dogs through a scrub / rocky area last night. Came around a bend in the track to come face to face with a very large, mean looking, wild boar. Luckily the nutty dog was on a lead and the quiet one is no bother anyway.

We stood and looked at each other for 15-29 seconds (felt like longer) and the the boar moved off and I started breathing again.

On the way home came face to face with a confused British driver going round a roundabout the wrong way.

Don't know which worried me most.

 

It's surprising what an ugly face will frighten away....poor old boar, I bet it has nightmares after that horrific experience !

Free to choose apart from the ones where the trust poked their nose in. Common eel. tope. Bass and sea bream. All restricted.


New for 2016 TAT are the main instigators for the demise of the u k bass charter boat industry, where they went screaming off to parliament and for the first time assisting so called angling gurus set up bass take bans with the e u using rubbish exaggerated info collected by ices from anglers, they must be very proud.

Upgrade, the door has been closed with regards to anglers being linked to the e u superstate and the failed c f p. So TAT will no longer need to pay monies to the EAA anymore as that org is no longer relevant to the u k . Goodbye to the europeon anglers alliance and pathetic restrictions from the e u.

Angling is better than politics, ban politics from angling.

Consumer of bass. where is the evidence that the u k bass stock need angling trust protection. Why won't you work with your peers instead of castigating them. They have the answer.

Recipie's for mullet stew more than welcomed.

Angling sanitation trust and kent and sussex sea anglers org delete's and blocks rsa's alternative opinion on their face book site. Although they claim to rep all.

new for 2014. where is the evidence that the south coast bream stock need the angling trust? Your campaign has no evidence. Why won't you work with your peers, the inshore under tens? As opposed to alienating them? Angling trust failed big time re bait digging, even fish legal attempted to intervene and failed, all for what, nothing.

Looks like the sea angling reps have been coerced by the ifca's to compose sea angling strategy's that the ifca's at some stage will look at drafting into legislation to manage the rsa, because they like wasting tax payers money. That's without asking the rsa btw. You know who you are..

We also have wild boar in East Sussex, I used to fish a reservoir that was surrounded by dense woodland, and one could often smell the boar. The public can walk the woods. Sooner or later someone, possibly a child, is going to get attacked. Nobody in authority seems to be taking the problem seriously, but no doubt there will be a major hoo-ha when something happens.

 

Our local deer harvester has unofficial "permission" (from the landowner) to cull the boar. and now offers boar meat to his customers. Perhaps that is enough to keep the population under control.

Indeed there is and even dog walkers are advised to keep the dogs on the lead round here or was it owners on the lead?

I went to a car bootlast sunday and a guy was selling a boars head :crazy:
