    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113894912282 I get these off evilbay, they are cheap and easy to use, I like that they have the screen inside so you can check it in the field, all you need to do is put batteries and an sd card in them

    I put it about 3 foot off the ground and the bait a good 10 foot away from the camera, sometimes further, they pick things up from a fair distance, it picks up everything, I only set it to record for 30 seconds and then I think there’s 5 minutes before it triggers again, I’ve got some cracking little videos of buzzards feeding on bait during the day, that camera had been out about 3 days and had been triggered about 43 times

    I was asked to take care of a chicken botherer, so not having the time to sit and wait for it I thought I’d put the camera out and bait up, it didn’t take long, in fact an hour after putting the camera out I got my first hit, it was 2 days later before I had time to check the camera and I’d made the decision that last night would be the night as the ginger seemed to be hanging around for much of the night, firstly showing up on the camera around 8pm and then on and off up until about 3:30am, getting there for 7:30pm it was little over 30 minutes before it turned up, no need for calling or shou

    I think we should organise a mini bus, all round to Gav’s ?

    There’s pro’s and con’s with all the NV add-on’s and day/night scopes, as BC said the 007 image quality is superb for the price, for me the only down side to it is how far back it sits when mounted to the scope, it also doesn’t work well with high quality glass that draws a lot of light, but all add-ons are like this, the day night scopes tend to work much better in the dark but are more than useable in daylight, I suppose it comes down to what suits your needs, best off going and trying a load of different ones and see what you like, another option is a normal scope and proper NV with no loss

    Lovely job, I take it the top of the head shot didn’t lend itself to a picture, a good while ago I shot one just above the eyes and where the round hit everything disappeared, not pretty

    You can’t go wrong with the T-bolt? If you do a lot of shooting on your own it might be worth having a look at digital day/night scope, I had a yokon photon on my Cz .17 and it worked well both day and night

    Have you made your mind up what you want to purchase yet? ?? it may be an idea to bait up in a couple of places around the farm in readiness, lambing’s not far away ?

    I thought they were just out for a ride but I bet they were after my rabbits the sneaky beggars

    Sitting in the house this evening I thought I’d go for a wander and have a go at a few rabbits, so I grabbed the .17hmr and off I went, when I arrived and got out the motor it was blowing a hoolie and maybe not the best of weather for the .17, I had been asked to leave the rabbits where they fell as a fox has been hitting his ducks and he thinks if there’s rabbits laying around Charlie fox will not bother the ducks, myself I’m not convinced about that but if that’s what he wants then that’s what he gets, so 13 was the bag and I took the two best home for someone who asked for a couple, I hope

    Speak nicely to villaman I’m sure he’ll let you have a go ?
  14. Stavross
    Somewhere in a galaxy far far away mate, have you been speaking to my missus, she thinks I’m not from this planet ?
  15. Stavross
    Villaman’s name came out the hat ? so PM me your address and I’ll send it to you mate, hopefully when you are done with it you can pass it on ?
  16. Stavross
    Nice job ?
  17. Stavross
    I’m between Thirsk and Helmsley fingers crossed I can sort it out with the shoot captain

    I don’t use Facebook but be sure when I’m out around the forestry where my pheasant shoot is in North Yorkshire I take every opportunity to shoot the grey tree rats, even if we don’t see them we shoot the drays out, we are asked to do this by forestry

    Nice idea to give a few quid to charity but for this I think I’ll just stick to pulling a name from a hat as people had already shown an interest in it, so if anyone else wants in just say because if I get time I’ll pick a WINNER tomorrow on another note I’m trying to sort a days pheasant shooting with me to raffle off to raise money for the north Yorkshire air ambulance, because a little over 6 months ago they saved my best mates life when he had a heart attack when out walking in the Cleveland hills at a place called rosebury topping, he was at the top and if they had not got to him an

    Very nice, you certainly had a better night than me, 3 hours at the sheep farm with nothing to show for my efforts, what sort of distance was the ginger
  21. Stavross
    Good idea lads, I’ll give it a day or two to see if anyone else is interested and I’ll pull a name out of my old flat cap ?
  22. Stavross
    Don’t know if any of you lads like to read, but thought I’d offer my holiday read before it goes in the charity bag, this is not the normal type of thing I read but really enjoyed it, I think it’s because what this chap does is how I started out, from taking game with air rifles to running dogs on deer and hare ( all things that are frowned upon now ), so if you would like it let me know and I’ll send it to you ( free of charge of course) ?

    I seen a shotgun after it had been fired with snow in the end of the barrel and it made a real mess of the end of the barrel
  24. Stavross
    No, I’ve had a look on tinker net and can’t find it, they are normally about 30”
