    The reason why not to go this time of year should be explained to you first time. Apart from the fact that most holes will be covered with bracken and nettles etc and difficult to net, there is a real chance your ferret will find a nice bunch of new born, have a good old feed and then have a snooze. Result one lost ferret but left in a Warren which may eventually become redundant. Hope that helps

    You're making me very envious MIK, what a lovely place to live. You are spoilt with all the bird life there. I believe a white tail visited the basin last year for a few days. Wish I'd seen that. Haven't planned anything yet for this season, probably go to Wigtown, it's closer for us. But when next go to Montrose I'll drop you a PM. atb

    MIK Not sure you read the cost correct, it's £18 per day for visitors. Also only 5 or 6 permits are issued to visitors per day.

    MIk I have shot the basin many times over the last Twenty years. It is an amazing place to view birds of all description. The best time is in October early November for Pinks. I usually go up in November or early December. Permits are very much sought after hence the price. You have to be on the ball to get them early in the season. My best ever flight on Pinks was at Montrose. 5 Pinks on a morning flight (which is plenty for any Wildfowler.) Mine you I have often blanked there even with 40,000 coming off. It's a great place and with easy access.

    I got into it with a few close mates when a kid. None of my family hunt either. I'm the only one out of the group of mates that kept it up though.

    I take it you mean Wildfowling. The closest for you with geese will be one of the wash clubs. But can't compare with Scotland.

    Don't shoot for nothing if visiting the basin. £18 a day last season

    We used to make our own out of standard hide leather. Never had a problem, although our Eagle owl was a nasty moo.

    Foxi-Roxi, I'm assuming this is a serious thread and you're not looking for stupid responses, although bless them they only mean a bit of fun. I believe I started hunting because of an extension to my love of the natural,world. I wasn't lucky enough to be born into the countryside so it wasn't a natural progression. My older brothers took me bird nesting and collecting became a passion for me ( before it became illegal) Me and a couple of mates would get the green line bus out into the country to begin with looking for specific eggs. This evolved into the love of just being there. Hunting was

    A lot of guys on here have said that the media run the country. Well it's the idiots that buy the papers and believe what they read, then vote accordingly that control the way the country is run. How many of you that blame the media still buy a paper. Don't come up with the usual excuse ' I only buy it for the sport' because even if you do you are still supporting the media. If you blame the media stop supporting it. Don't buy a paper.

    I'm new to this site as well. I don't recall asking for the George cross to be flown for me although I am naturally proud to be English. But I am more proud to be British. So just a question why don't we get a choice. The George cross or the union flag. That would be good.

    At some stage in our evolution our brain became our tool. Prior to this we were like every other creature surviving exactly as most apes do today. By picking berries and eating root crops with the occasional piece of carrion. Our brain evolved better than other creatures which gave us the ability to utilise natural stone and wood as tools. If our brain had not evolved faster at that time we would probably be extinct now. Food for thought, I wonder what this world would be like today if we had become extinct?

    It depends on the size of the land, how big is it? Is it spring fed? Was it previously a commercial concern? If so what were the revenue? Does it have planning for a commercial fishery if that's what you want it for. What kind of location is it, green belt or whatever? There are a million and one things that will affect its value. I was looking at buying a lake or land for a potential fishery a couple of years ago. I soon found out that I needed about £150k to even think about it.

    Firstly you need to be quite and very still. Have you ever noticed when walking the dog how pigeons will stay in a tree only a few yards away or a rabbit will carry on munching but with a watchfull eye. Do the same walk with a gun under your arm and nothing comes within a hundred yards

    Remybolt . I was actually starting to feel a kind of sympathy for you with all the crap you was getting, some of it not really deserved. But, I am quite sesquipedalian in my posts (and in daily conversation), you really do lead with your chin. ATB though.

    I'm quite new to this site but I think a lot of youngsters are naive when it comes to all the vagaries of getting somewhere to shoot. We, I hope want to encourage youngsters into the sport and if they don't ask they don't get. There may be the chance that someone may take them under their wing. In my humble view we should be encouraging these guys not basically telling them to p**off

    If it was a gun dog I would have assumed it will be chipped. Should be easy to find owner if so.

    For sale is my Gunmark Kestral 10 bore. The gun is in good condition, there are a few marks which is to be expected with a Wildfowling gun. I have tried to show these in the photos. The bores are very good and the action is tight. The chokes have been opened to half and half by a barrel man in the Birmingham quarter so is all ready for steel shot. 3.5ins chambers, 32ins barrels, non ejector. £350 ovno
