L00b   441 #61 Posted April 18, 2017 Grumbles - you really need a shotty for boar? That's just so - uncivilised...Up, close and personal, that's me. Mano a mano, Jeffe What's wrong with a .243 with proper expansion....?I did not introduce my utilitarian "shotty" properly: a CZ Brno over-under, with one chambered in 12 & the other in 8x57 JRS. Rest assured it's the 8x57 that is usually tasked for boars and deers. Must be 20 years since I actually loaded and shot a Brenneke, we've always had them as a if-all-else-fails option, with big solitary males that just won't go down...  ..and I'm well past my tree-climbing best these days  The current dog's alright for them though, a big patterdale cross seems a better option than the 'traditional' wire dachs we used to use. I've seen him chase off a solitary 2 years ago, that was 3 or 4 times his size (looked as big as a great dane from afar!), didn't whether to roll on the floor laughing or s*** my pants at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In the ground let it run over you and the spear. That's close and personal lol. Not sure if that's legal and even less sure of their sanity. I presume that natural selection for tree climbing features in their DNA.... 8mm should be sufficient though and far less fear inducing than getting real close to them!

Guest   #63 Posted April 18, 2017 This thread reminded me that I want to buy season pass for the latest Fallout. I looked it up, and Easter sale is still up. Something good came from danger of nuclear war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Something good came from danger of nuclear war.  Fallout 4 is the bomb. Saving up to get a VR PC so I can experience that as well.

TORONTONY   10 #65 Posted April 19, 2017 There's no heavy water present in most reactor designs, and it'd only make the nuclear side of it go better if added.... RBMK's like Chernobyl were so insanely designed that it's almost like they wanted them to go bang.... the new designs are so much better. Fully passively cooled is now perfectly possible.  I see you took my bait, I shall eat you later lol:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

When they emerge from the wreck of their home the country will resemble the book/film "The Road" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
