    Some mother's son. Possibly somebody's father, husband, brother.

    Meh, the real story is what's going near fushima:
    "Hunters have been called in to kill radioactive wild boars that have taken over towns evacuated during the Fukushima nuclear disaster before their residents return."
    Sounds like the plot of a cheesy sci-fi film.

    Yes he was, but take away his rifle and he's hardly a 'professional' hunter is he?

    Yeah would give this guy more credit for risking his skin than a certain dentist.

    Ate by the croc regardless. Crocs have no mercy. They'll eat anyone, even someone's son.

    Can't say I'm too bothered tbh. Live by the croc, die by the croc.

    They look awful on your feet anyway. I prefer brogues.

    The newspaper piece quoted the term. John Rambo? The croc might have got indigestion from the curly hair......

    Not a very well equipped one anyway... Take away his car and your takeaway driver isn't going to be in great state either though. Take away my rifle and I'm not in a great position to do much soldiering. Tools of the trade. Obviously you don't like the trade itself, but there's not much logic in suggesting he couldn't do it without the rifle. No sh?t.

    True enough,but if you act the prick with a dangerous animal be prepared for it to put up a fight.Yer man had a gun.Its not the crocodiles fault. He killed himself with his own stupidity.

    He was probably pleased enough with that exit. There's a lot to be said for dying doing what you love. Most of us won't get that.

    Article is written as if the Crocodile has commited some outlandish crime, as if the Primordial predator ANIMAL should be some f**king Disney cartoon crocodile character who speaks with a English accent and should have warned the total f**king idiot HUMAN he was about to be either eaten or sneakily enticed towards the riverbank by some dastardly ruse commited by the villain crocodile

    Depends on what you mean by 'the trade'. If you mean shooting something for the purpose sticking its head over the fireplace and convincing yourself, 'look at me I'm a great hunter', then no, I don't like it. It's pathetically juvenile nonsense tbh.

    Your not wrong,it depends what you like doing mind. That guy up in Donegal a few months ago comes to mind,what he loved doing was paying hookers to wrap him in in clingfilm and kick him in the nuts,he had a massive heart attack and kicked the bucket mid session.Not the best way to go.

    I don't know, if I was into that I'd still take it over a long protracted less sexy painful death. It's still tragic for both these lads families though. My heart goes out to the hooker too. I hope she at least got paid.
