Whats the tallest hunting tale u ever heard?

Dalken

U hear some cracking good tales from fellas who hunt, the best ones are always lies, wondered what the best you've all heard is?

Once a fella at a long pheasent competition told me he went down the fields behind his house and shot himself a huge cock pheasant he had his eye on for a while, placing the bird in his game bag, apparantly stone dead, he made for home. Leaving the game bag in the kitchen he went to wash up when he heard a scream from his mam in the kitchen, he ran to investigate to find the game bag was dancin round the room. He caught hold of it, opening it gingerly only for the resurrected cock to jump out and run around the kitchen, his mam ran screaming out the door into the yard only for the bird to follow her. As soon as it got outside it took flight crowing and was never seen again.

Two guys heading out shooting,driving up this lonely road when the passenger says to the driver "pull over,pull over"
With that he jumps out with the rifle and shoots a horse in the adjacent field.

"Jesus" says the driver,"why did you do that"
"Ah,the owner is a miserable auld b****x and wouldn't give me permission to shoot the land"
"Oh right"says the driver and he jumps out and shoots a bullock.
"That'll teach him" says the driver.

Turns out the passenger had been asked by the farmer to put the horse down as a favour.


True story;)

"Lamping is illegal", "there will be a big clamp down on that because so and so's crowd shot a cow/horse last week thinking they were the eyes of a fox". Wont even start on some of the ones ive heard of from the cops over the years "you wont get a license till your 18"

Think i posted this before before a lad that shot a "Trophy" stag at over 900 yards through the heart. When he went to get the animal there was a second "Trophy" stag dead behind the first.

Turns out when he shot the first one in the heart/lung the bullet passed through him, and struck another sitting behind the one he shot first.

Patsat,
I was wondering how long it would be before someone would compare it to the Pat Shortt sketch.
Where do you think he got it ?:)

Same here snipe02 but I think that it was just made up though.

Heres another gem though;

Two guys go out for a shot in a blue nissan micra and they spot a pheasant in a field(in season but not on "club ground") so the passenger gets out with the dog and the driver says I'll go up the road and turn and meet ya back here in 2 minutes.
Passenger shoots the bird, dog retrieves and then the guy jumps out of the field.
Along comes the micra so your man lobs the dog into the back seat,jumps into the passenger seat and says "job done,drive on"
Then he spots his pal approaching in another blue micra.

He was after jumping into an identical car(with sh***y wellies,a wet dog and a dead pheasant) belonging to an elderly woman.
That is genuinely a true story.

A Cavan man had a cousin over from England and brought him shooting. The English lad like a bet but the Cavan man being from Cavan didnt like to part with cash at any odds. So the Cavan man proposed that whatever one lad shot the other would have to carry. The day went well for the Briton, he shot geese, ducks and pheasant, in no time the Cavan man was weighed down carrying game and wildfowl, however his Cavan cousin was not capable of hitting a bus if it was comin towards him(and probably to tight to part with lead). That was until they entered a yard and the Cavan man fired a shot into a barn, there was a squeel and the sound of a heavy thud, the Brit looked into the barn to see a huge pig lying stone dead, now says the Cavan man, 'you carry that'. The Brit learned on returning home that his cousin had been fattening that sow for that sometime but had no way arranged of getting the carcass back to his house.

A mate of mine once told me that he took the head clean off a bird that he "shouldn't have been shooting" at 800 yards with his .223!!!!!! After I told him to stop talking out of his arse he got quite offended and showed me the spot where he was standing and the rock that the alleged bird was perched. I smugly took out my rangefinder and measured it out to be bang on 280 yards:-D He told me that lasers aren't accurate and he was shooting long enough to judge any distance out to 1000 yards, which he regularly shoots foxes at with the same rifle!!! Just for the record he has a tasco 6×42 scope on it:-D
you gotta love some people!

I went too look at a german pointer pup i was interested in buying a few years back i asked the owner is the mother any good at retrieveing off water he told me he stopped letting the mother retrieve off water cause 1 day he threw the dummy into the river for the bitch to retrieve when the bitch was swimming out for the dummy a duck swam by the pointer set the duck in the middle of the river and sank to the bottom and he had to swim in and save the bitch :pthis i was told by a well respected hunter

Eddie B

A well know lad in our club once had a pointer, that was that good, that whilst at point, it lifted it's right paw if it was a cock, and it's left if it was a hen!FACT!!!!!

rambo87

A lad swore to me that he shot a 56 inch cock pheasant!!
Must've been one of those Reeves fellas!!

Johnny.G

I was once told by a respected hunter that he shot a 60 inch pheasant but in doing so he also said the round passed through a bulls nose in what he described as the bridge of his nose and the round supposedly went on to hit a woodcock.
When I told him he was talking sh1t he drove me out to his farm to show me the bull, little did he know that my cousin was a vet.My cousin had pierced the bulls nose for a ring but was still waiting for the ring, guess which hole in the bulls nose he showed me ,the perfectly round hole that was hardly even an hour old.
He went on to deny my theory.

Some people were actually designed to lie for our amusement or so I believe.

All these are very very good.a fella told me he shot a duck and it hit him and broke his nose.
Another one i heard is afella sat under a magpie nest under Tree because it was eating his duck eggsand when the mag returned he threw a stone and killed it because he had no carts for she sg.

i know alad that reckons his german pointer will only go in and flush a bird when he hears the click of his safety catch.and i mite believe him if the dog actually pointed for once.

Steady...Bang

I knew a auld lad (round here) that used to tell a story about a big english pointer dog that pointed a cock pheasant one day. when the lad went back the day after, both the dog and pheasant had never moved.....:rolleyes:.....:D:D:

Heard a great tale on here cant seem to find the thread.

Something about some lad was out with his pointer and he lost the dog in cover and couldn't ever find the dog... The following year in the same spot he found the dogs bones 2 foot way from a pheasants bones (probably still in the pointing position) ...

Or something like that I remember getting a good laugh out of it.

thekevin4540

I no a man that i used to hunt with he said he was out lamping foxes with the lurchers and he called a fox in so close he had to hit him on the nose with the lamp to make him run away he swore in was true but he is known for them kind of stories

alderdeer

There's a lad around here that his dog which he has since birth only takes commands in Irish even though he hasn't a word of Irish himself.
After sayin that I could listen to his ****e all night its very entertaining once you know its ****e your listening too

dodderangler

Fella I ferreted with told me his dad used to have a ferret That was so big he used to hunt foxes with it and used big nets to catch the foxes when the ferret flushed the fox and told me it'd sometimes kill the Cubs aswell
I used to just nod along but always cheered my day up listening to his stories about his super dad

Thats a good one, what do these lads be thinking to come up with this sort of thing, I honestly think they have talented imaginations, they should be writing stories. Roll on the 1st Nov, we know an old fella we bring for a couple of hours on the opening day,a few pints after and he's f*ckin priceless to listen to.

a lad told me that he had a setter that set in a field of kale on a bird the kale was that high he couldnt see the dog he came back in the spring and the skeleton of the dog was still set

At my local gun shop today a lad came in and started boasting he shot 230 pigeons on his own in one hour.

When I bought my .270 a gundealer who will remain namless told me it was the greatest calibre ever (never a truer word has been spoken) but he went on to tell me he was out deer stalking with a friend....

Friend takes shot at 375yard fox, misses. Fox runs, your man shoot the fox running. A running fox at 375yards. :rolleyes:

Fox is split in 2 (This part I believe).

That one could possibly be true
I met a lad that shot a fox at 250 yards with a 243 when it decided to run it rand bout 15 yards to the left before he shot it and took a chest shot
Its reckless shootin a movin target with a rifle in the first place but it has been done
I myself shot a fox in the chest as it jumped into cover in mid air few weeks ago

enricoh

an oul lad in the pub who was a compulsive liar claimed he nailed the fox which got his hens down along the riverbank. at the same time a salmon jumped n he had that with the spuds that night! had'to go out 4 a fag as i couldnt stop laughing!

The lad I work for says he had a pointer that would hunt the opposite side of the ditch to him and drive birds out to him, and that if he happened to be on the same side as him and met a bird, he'd set the bird until yer man was within shooting distance, then he'd nip out to the other side and drive the bird out to yer mans side. Apparently he did this without any training from 9 months old

I was told by fellow that he shot a really big pheasant and the pheasant so big he knocked a stone wall when he was coming down. Then they had to get a wheel barrow to carry him across the field.

i did have a setter that would hold the point until id get out the other side of ditch but dog was never trained for it he only started doing it as he got older it was more good luck than good training.i suppose it came to him with experience of birds flushing and no retrieve for him that s my thinking of it

Did the pheasant fall down into the wall with his mouth open and swallow half the wall?
Fcukin wheelbarrow that's the worst I heard
