Cheers mate, I’ve just had to google that to see what it is, that’s how far behind the times I am, that looks a proper bit of kit, do they just clip onto any scope
-
It’s no good I’m going to have to join the dark side and get myself a night vision ad-on in case this situation arises again
-
That’s a proper spot of luck, you must have some friendly farmers down your way ?

To top my night off the bloody virgin has just gone off, the missus rang up and they know about it and it should be back on by 4:30am ?

Ha ha, we don’t tend to use the word “man” when describing this one

So having a free evening I thought I’d have a walk out, now I have three let’s call them grown ups that come out with me, one had other arrangements, one is in no state to do anything with a trapped nerve in his neck and the others missus won’t let him out so I thought I’ll take one of the nephews out, the first one, It’s to cold and I’m going to have a bath ( I’m worrying that there’s something wrong with this lad ) the second one, I’m playing fortnite, so you would rather sit in playing a computer game than come and have a go at a fox with a real .243, the reply YEAH, what is the world comin

I can’t work out how to put the listing up on here but this is the item number 223280190624, I’ve just had a look and they have put the price back up to £37 but I think when I bought it it was about £28 and I made an offer and it was accepted
-
Not sure if this is of any interest to any of you but I thought I’d put it up anyway, I got this off evil bay to use in a couple of places where I need to bait foxes, new and delivered for £23 it works a treat day or night, the only thing it doesn’t come with is batteries or an sd card
-
There was plenty of the tree rats about today, but I think the .243 might of been a bit over the top for them I went up this morning for a few reasons, firstly to feed up and to see where the birds were so I could make a little drive plan for our next outing in a weeks time, there seems to be about four drives that are still holding good numbers, I got there at first light so I could see where the birds had been over night, they were where I had expected them to be, they seem to have stayed close to the two main release pens this year, secondly thought I’d have a look for a fox at day b

Ha ha, bless him, I’m out at first light in the morning if he wants to offer himself up to stop a fox getting shot I’ll take him up on it ?
-
Don’t encourage him, you wrong un, he’d be better off buying a nurf gun, more accurate ?
-
Aaaaaaah, don’t do it ??

Hello and welcome mate, the advice I always give to people that are just starting out is on the rabbit front, forget farmers to start with unless you know them or know anyone who does and try small holdings and stables, just be polite and offer your services as for the shotgun and the excitement that is pigeon shooting, if you do a bit of clay shooting then it’s time to make friends at the clay ground there will be plenty of people there who shoot pigeons, best of luck ?
-
After asking a few more questions of his mate who went with him he said he doesn’t know where he’s got that price from because they did a package deal, ?, he said for walked up ptarmigan with the chance of an odd grouse was £550 for a full day on the scree slopes, you could keep a brace of grouse per gun but couldn’t keep any ptarmigan, the only thing the crank got right was there needed to be 4 guns, sorry I mislead you a bit there ?
-
I’ve just asked him and he said he thinks it was £160 each for the ptarmigan and you were in a group of 4 guns, he did 4 days up there with different shooting each day and stayed in a posh hotel where he was pampered, the whole experience was about £1400, I don’t think £160 is to bad for a day up there if you sort your own accommodation out, people pay more than that for a day on pheasant around here
-
I’ve never done it myself but my mate has and said it’s the ultimate walked up shooting, I think he did ptarmigan and hare on the same shoot, he did it with George goldsmith sporting, I know it wasn’t cheap but it’s a once in a lifetime thing, twice if you are loaded ?
-
Cracking job, maybe there will still be some trifle left for you when you get home ?
-
We’ll see how it goes on the next one, if it shoots ok we might squeeze another day in before the end of the season ?, we bumped a couple of foxes yesterday so we’ll let them be until we have finished because they are clearing up the birds not picked, so if you are up for it we’ll have a late one early February see if we can cover a bit more ground than usual
-
If it’s the first time he has done driven birds he will love it, I still really enjoy birds pushed out of woodland because you are never sure where they will come out and as long as they are above the trees that’s high enough for me ?
-
Good luck fella, that looks a nice field of view ?
-
It was a top day, all the kids got some good shooting and as a bit of a bonus the beaters that wanted to have a go also got a stand and we beat for them and I can’t complain about the birds they put over me ?
-
Another day on the shoot and what a lovely day it was, it would of been nice if 8 of the guns that didn’t turn up had of let us know but we made the best of what we had, we managed 38 and 2 woodcock, not bad for 5 a side and only half the beaters ?
-
I’d like to take this opportunity to dedicate my days shooting to Chris Packham CBE, you have been an inspiration to me to carry on championing the sport I love, best wishes, Stav ??
-
Recognised in the New Years honours, what a f*cking joke, bit hypocritical of him to accept it from a family who have a long history in country sports, id like to dedicate every pheasant I drop out of the sky today to this biggest of tw*ts?
-
Another nice walk out, good going on the snipe, I’ve never connected with a snipe, they are to quick for me ?
