  1. Would of rotted out first, lol. 187 off sticks and a necker too ,well done mate .
  2. Its Wilts for me mate Funny how things vary isnt it
  3. Agree mate but im only repeating what the feo told me in conversation and as a laymen i am going to believe it arnt i .It may be something to do with the current deer poaching that is going on .If hes lying or made it up then he will be brought to task i can assure you as another mate with more time and persistance has just been told the same . Edited to say that its not my intention to mislead anyone just reporting what was said to me by my own feo.
  4. Congrats on the new land mate ,any luck with the variation for deer? .
  5. Good to see a reply from a doer not a talker ,lol Had same in the past but not seen one run with the BT
  6. Whilst trying to remain calm and collected ,its a bit hard when there are a few that think they are the law .I wrote in my post that WILTSHIRE FAD expect certain conditions to be met and i can fully understand it too .The condition on anyones firearm certificate unless otherwise stated is that if you have a DESIGNATED .22 CF calibre for fox then a deer rifle will not be legal to use at night .By checking it out i mean ask the question to your FEO .I have fox on the .243 as do hundreds of others which is why i was shocked by this finding .Before you take things for granted then its better to f
  7. Not covered in shit they aint mate .Takes a trooper to pick them up at all .
  8. Tell me this ,why the overwhelming need for a silencer on an airgun anyway .Get a grip lads ,no need .lol.
  9. Big cat that mate and story which is hard to take in ,but i know nothing is clear cut in nature and knowing you well i take it as gospel .See you soon mate for a look out .Edited to say that cat looks very comfortable with the fox even near it ,not something that ive seen before as they are arch enemies normally ,even more so than fox and dog ,the two coming in contact more i guess .
  10. There is no grant for night shooting ,the .22 centre fire,if owned , is your designated fox rifle and lamping is accepted as part of its use but because you own the .22 centre fire ,any lamping done with the .243 or bigger would be illegal because its not your desgnated fox rifle and the FEO looks on its use after dark as deer poaching ,at least in WILTSHIRE anyway .Check it out mate .I was astonished too . Ps- .22,50 is a .22 centrefire
  11. By the same argument ,Hunter Zero,i would say that if a person dosnt have access to a mentor then the dsc courses should not be a quick fix from classroom to field as they now are .You see ,as soon as the dsc entered the equation then time served became unnecessary ,something to be sneered at and dont say otherwise because ive seen it .Stalking has been a natural progression for me as it will have been for thousands of others from that first rabbit to taking a red stag on the Scottish moors .There is more likely hood of a fault being made from a chap whos only just taken up the sport to one wh
  12. Maybe he is lazy but with an eye for action its hard not to miss a field full of woodies coming and going .Sounds like sour grapes to me
  13. One of the metal revolving type would save money in maintainance in the long run mate .
  14. Whatever calibre is chosen its important to get totally used to this new rifle before taking it out on quarry .The argument for and against any calibre is irrelevant when its your first rifle and no comparison to make .The .243 has served me well allowing me to take all six but then again i dont know anything different .In the scheme of things what does it matter if a beast runs on a bit ,its clinically dead anyway if shot properly.The follow up is as much part of the experience as is the stalking in, to me .Too many enthusiasts of a particular calibre trying to impose their enthusiasm on oth
  15. Go back to pc world mate .Fecking ragheads .
  16. What no one has mentioned is that once they have remote access to your pc they can access it whenever they like unless you remove the access tool from your pc .Its not only money they are after mind .Last one phoned up said his name was peter ,a rag head called peter ,good one .
  17. Theres a scam doing the rounds that takes the form of a paki ringing up wanting access to your computer saying hes from microsoft and that youve got a virus.DONT let him get remote access as you will find yourself out of pocket and your computer used night and day without your consent .Tell him to do one but not so politely .
  18. Go on google earth and get a map printed off ,that way you can show any farmers which field you mean .I nearly got in a bit of bother by setting up in the wrong field or rather Local Matt nearly got me in trouble ,lol.
  19. Never took one mate as i only found the back end
  20. They do it because they can mate and because it pisses us off
  21. A mate of mine whos in the pest control business has recently been asked to thin out a few corvids that are pulling out seedlings in fresh drillings .They do this its thought to get at any grubs beneath the plant but is very annoying for the farmer as you can imagine .Also theres a water trough nearby thats getting fouled badly .The idea was to set up under a rookery and shoot returning birds .For those of you with a concience ,yes there are eggs about but better that than chicks .The action was very slow to start with with the rooks not returning as expected but the jackdaws that were sharing
  22. They mark an underground sewer mate or rather a man hole for it .
  23. Read the post properly before comment They where all set in tunnels but they where removed so i could take pics Sorry mate ,didnt read it all
