[Onen-Hag-Oll]

Anyone know of there where abouts in these counties? They are becoming more common, and are GOOD sport.

Plenty were released around dartmoor by the hippie scum!

'Plenty were released around dartmoor by the hippie scum!' - I thought that was the triffids, anyway, who is Wils Boar and why would you want to shoot him?

 

[tropper66]

my mates misses took some cracking photos of boar about a month ago at The Speach House in The Forrest of Dean go to WWW.GraceWillmot@flicker as i dont seem to be able to load them from Facebook

 

[leveller]

Fecking thousands of in the Forest of Dean, I believe they are having a cull?

 

[homeworker]

There are loads around the Tenterden area of kent. There are woods around Hamstreet where it is advisable not to take small dogs as the Boar can be quite nasty

I believe that they are now in Forest of Dean (although hard to distinguish from the locals), Kent/Sussex as far west as Ashdown Forest, New Forest, Dartmoor and Devon.

Don't cull them just set a few of these "fluffy" doggies loose. Its about time they were reintroduced.

No its not.

UK does not have sufficient space for them not to cause problems = wolf cull = lots of upset hippies and greenies.

Yes it is.

UK does not have sufficient space for them not to cause problems = cull lots of upset hippies and greenies = room for wolves

see its a bit like Ohms law mate you just move stuff around till you get the right answer.

Re-introduce wolves and have a cull of hippies and greenies.
Everybody is happy

The UK could possibly support a small number of wolves, I am still on the fence reference big cats though.

The Civvie Hounds and I got chased by one here in Hong Kong a couple of years ago - it reminded me that adrenalin is brown. The fecker was about a metre high at the shoulder, a good 60 kilos and big feck off tusks.

I was so fast down that trail I would have made Usain Bolt like an arthritic granny in ammo boots with a Zimmer frame.

I came face to face with one of 'those' fluffy fellas a few years ago on a track above Srebrenica ...

We do have big cats running around the countryside in some places.

Just hang around the bins in the Forest of Dean

You could even try using a wheelie bin as a hide!
