Thanks for the heads up about Aushunt. I have a couple of photos i’ll have to retrieve before they are gone.

Sometimes forums go stale particularly specialist ones like hunting, fishing etc. New people come and want to ask questions that have been answered time and time again. They get told to go through the searches to find the info then they lose interest cause they usually only want to talk with similar people and ask questions for engagement. I've been throwing out my ssaa mags for a couple of years now unopened, unread and still wrapped in plastic. it’s all the same to me. I get more jollies out of pictures of live pests than dead. The fap fest over new calibres and gizmos doesn’t do it for me either. I Must be getting old…

It's no bother.

Happy to intervene when someone is doing something stupid, e.g. the earlier poster saying they were just generating replies from ChatGPT and posting them for people to argue about :roll:

That kind of juvenile nonsense has no place here, and the delete or ban buttons are just a click away ;)

Report it, and it'll get sorted.


no worries :thumbsup:

We would have torn him to shreds.

You have to let them blow steam for a while first then then you have the knowledge then you have the power.
