I’ve been given a new pair of Hot Shot Thinsulate mittens, they don’t have the tags on them but they have never been used, they fold back with fingered gloves, they also have pockets on the back to put hand warmers in, very warm with fleece cuffs usual rules apply, if you are interested let me know below and if there’s more than one I’ll pull a name from my hat, I’ll cover the postage ( as long as it’s not some far flung corner of the world )

I’m from the same end of the country as you mate, You know fine well it would break my heart to part with that sort of cash ? Someone else mentioned them to me, the new pumps are about 250 quid, I’m not sure if they do them in lefty

It never cycled properly from the day I got it, I fixed it by using mini mag to shoot everything ? I shouldn’t of sold it because it did the job I got it for, I’d definitely have a pump, never had one, I used to shoot with a lad who had a mossy 500 pump and it never failed

Nice to bash a few bunnies during the day ?

Since I got rid of the hatstand escort I’ve been missing having a cheap semi to chuck on the front of the quad, now the hatstand didn’t really like anything under 36g and would jam quite often if using 32’s or something like that, when I go to the shooting show in May I’m going to have a look for a couple of hundred quid knock about, I wasn’t to fussed on another hatstand so was wondering what’s peoples thoughts on fabarm or armsan, any other cheap semi’s to look out for, keep in mind that I’m a lefty ( so suffer from cost racism ) and northern so I’m not made of money ??

Bit more water in the river today, it’s up about 7 foot looking at the water marker

You can still get that, I wonder if I can run my quad on it because a gallon of blue stratos is cheaper than a gallon of petrol ?

I thought it was going to be wet and windy, so I thought I’d just have a walk around for a bit, I couldn’t believe it when I got on the top, if it had of been just up the road from me, I would of gone back for the .243, it’s a different day today, wind and rain

Did you never put a carrot out for Rudolph, the fallow like them even more with a bit of bird puller on them

A trip up to the shoot this afternoon for a quick feed and a leg stretch, when I got on the top I was greeted by 3” of snow, after a quick blast around on the bike with a bit of wheat for the birds and a few carrots for the deer I put the bike away, grabbed the .17 and went for a walk, shooting a couple of rabbits on the way, I had the whole place to myself which was lovely. Walking around the piggeries I came across 5 deer in different places, 3 of them were shootable so that was good to see, just as I was losing the light and heading towards the field at the back of the farm I looked along t

Chicken stew and dumpling, not pretty but you know anything cooked in one pot for 4 hours is going to be good ?

Good weather for ducks and easy jointing a patio ?

I use a night saber wraith laser ir and they are very good, they are variable power with the on/off switch on the tail cap, I’ve never had any problems with bounce back off the mod with the laser, I’ve got another one, a PBIR laser if he wants to borrow one to see what it’s like with a laser ir before he parts with his hard earned

Beef was worth having just for the gravy ?

Cheap supermarket beef today, still got to treat it with respect and make the best of it ?

Did she not want to know where you got the other 69 quid from ?

I keep saying she’s my retirement plan, but in reality the pay rise probably means her Audi S3 will be getting swapped for an RS3, it’s strange how she gets further up the ladder but my life never gets any easier ?

The missus is working on her presentation for an interview at work for a promotion so I was at a bit of a loose end today, so after food shopping and a bit of a tidy round I thought I’d have a run up the shoot, bit of feed and a walk around, when I got there I went to get the bike out and by the time I’d got back in the yard the old girl was waiting for me, 45 minutes later ? after I got the full weather report and the deaths in the past week and all the damage the rally had done last weekend I set out to feed my couple of spots, my god there’s still some birds about. After feeding and shootin

Just another note, you would need a digital day/night scope, you can’t shoot deer in the dark ?? -

If you were going to go for deer legal and same rifle for fox, you would probably go .243, you would put the sound mod in the firearms you want to be granted section ( .243 sound moderator) as it’s a prohibited item and must be granted along with the rifle, you don’t need to put anything down for NV or scopes you will put the .22 down as .22 long rifle ?
