Tips for Nawab saab, the hunter.

[danish21]

Danish,

The post has been deleted. In future please think before making such posts, even if it has been lifted from a newspaper.

Tales of hunting before the ban are fine, as are those from overseas where hunting is legal. However, this board will not play host to hunting in present day India, unless it is a government sanctioned cull and the poster can prove that it is so.

I have deliberately not sent this via PM as I want to caution you as well as any other member, new or old.

Nothing personal, it is just board policy so please comply in future.

What was this post about ? Pls send it to me by email. You seem to be finding plenty of clippings from Indian publications.

Good that the mail has been deleted.
It would give visitors to our site the most wrong ideas about all of us

[shahid]

But what was it ? Did someone claim hunting exploits during post 1972 in India ? remember hunting blue bulls / wild boar is still permitted in many places in India.

[danish21]

There was an article published in times of india, lucknow edition which i posted here with the link but our moderator thinks that this is banned to be posted on this forum so he deleted it with giving me warning. If any one wants to read it the they can ask me i can send the link through PM.

Send me the link by e mail. Lets see what is it.

Well, having read the article my comments are.

This article better be off from IFG or it could result is direct promotion of unlawful activities on the forum. The moderators action is valid.

Remember I am also a moderator on off roading forums and being in that position, my judgement would be with the moderation.

However this article was not your individual expression.

Now Times of India, Lucknow would also better refrain from publishing such cock and bull stories. A journalist needs to research facts rather than publishing senstive things like Night vision.

Tall boasts like this better be verified. The article is rather vulgar. The guys seem to be outlaws who are trying to dare the government law. Very stupid indeed.

What is allowed is allowed. What is forbidden is forbidden. Not all laws are correct, this is the reason why I am going to file a PIL to correct some laws, which were made in ignorance, extremism or with vested interests.

I agree that controlled fair game hunting of Blue Bulls, Deer, Antelope, Wild Boar etc. must be permitted, but there is a method to approach this. Also in this case sentiments of all sections of the society have to be respected.

The journalist, the TOI editor and the idiot who has been talking such rubbish with the journalist are the ones to be blamed.

Remember - this article has nothing to do with sports or hunting at all. It is a throw back on the administration and the government for utter disrespect of the law. Instead of maligning a noble field sports, the same context could be used for dacoity, arson, kidnapping, extortion, poll booth capturing, anything.

Some fool quotes - Look the government has disallowed rigging votes in a polling booth but along with the local villagers who also like to rig polls I capture a booth with the aid of locally assembled explosives and I am a terror in the region.

What do you make of such talk, sheer nonsence.

Danish,

While I have not read the article in question, I do hope that you would not be offended that it was deleted. You have met the IFG team and spent time with them - no one has anything personal against you. Yes, we consider you a friend and I am hoping that you would make your promised trip to Chicago and spend some time with us here while your better half spends time with our better halves.

We do have to be careful on a public forum like this because wea re under much more attention than the number of members here would suggest. There are PETA type groups, government officials in India, and scumbags like a banned pathetic piece of excrement who keeps returning when his/her/it's presence is no longer wanted just to try and create trouble for us. Someone like you who is open and honest would not be able to think of how some of these vermin try to damage our group and our sport but you may be aware that the Pakistan Hunting Community page was closed down by these scumbags recently and they ahd to move to a new page entirely. The confusion there has not ended because the founder, Shanawaz's page has been deleted by the same scum. We have to play it safe and not only not give these vermin a chance to close us down by hacking ahnd taking us down but also by posting rubbish on the forum and getting the authorities to take an adverse look at Indians For Guns.

You are fully aware of how firm we have to be here - your own signature line says this in no uncertain terms to the would be troublemakers over here. Please do not take this personally. This is my request to you as a friend who values your presence here and also the tremendous contribution that you are making to the shooting sports in India. Your lobbying for 50m rifle, trap and skeet ranges at Allahabad are an example that every one of us admires and respects and we hope that this would be a beginning for the revival of the shooting sports in India in the future.

Let us just drop any hard feelings over this incident. Again, there is nothing personal here against you and I hope we could go on from here and leave it as a closed chapter. This does not mean, of course, that we cannot make fun of each other - now what was it you said about Dianas that I could pull your leg about?

Cheers, buddy!

[shahid]

Initially I thought Danish is trying to pull my leg by posting Nawab Saheb the Hunter. Later I discovered it was a newspaper clipping.

Well the journalist who penned that piece has had no culture to shooting sports or field sports of any kind at all and hence this scandelous reporting will only be too obvious.

Why are these subjects taboo in India ? What an axe the Arms control act and then the susequent Ban on hunting and restrictions on import of firearms have done.

The opinion of the sportsman is totally dwarfed against an obscene wave of objection against field sports.

Restrictions imposed on entry to competition shooting of course is the mischief of a select lobby with devious vested interests in keepting shooting within a select forum.

[danish21]

now what was it you said about Dianas that I could pull your leg about?

Cheers, buddy!

My point is clear ... diana airguns are the best.

Well I read it on one website, a very accompalished writer on Airguns from the USA describes Weirauch HW as the BMW of Air Guns. I repeat, you got to fire an HW Air Rifle to know what it is. Finish and performance is definetely superior to a Diana. Diana is by no means not a good Air Rifle.

But a Diana would be say a mass produced Winchester Model 70 but the HW is a rifle crafted by Churchill or Holland, if not matching to a Mannlicker or Mauser made Rifle.

"........But a Diana would be say a mass produced Winchester Model 70 but the HW is a rifle crafted by Churchill or Holland, if not matching to a Mannlicker or Mauser made Rifle......"

here we go again

[danish21]

Shahid Bhai please clear some pionts...

1. If HW is better than a diana, then why u bought a diana 68 rather than buying a HW ?

2. If HW is better than diana, then why you used diana since your childhood ?

3. Just because you bought a HW and you can't say that its bad cause u purchased it, does this means that diana is a bad air gun ?

4. I have also read some where that diana has the best airguns ever produced, and their model 35 is the highest selling rifle. So you quote from anywhere saying that HW is best and we believe this like blind... from how many days you are using a HW that you came to this conclusion ?

If you want me to believe you that HW is better than diana then when this time you visit india bring one HW for me so that i can also compare both the air rifles...
