  1. Off thread a bit i know but on the subject of 17 HMR,several of my mates bought them when they came in'fashion' but every one of them has since traded them in for various other calibres .Its a job to say what this calibre excells on that others dont .Its loud,meat damaging and not really up to fox so.........................
  2. If your licking your dogs wounds yourself then honey has got to be a bonus .lol.
  3. Most car chargers have the facility to trickle charge.Ive used one for years on cealed batteries .The way to muck up a battery is to leave it uncharged .
  4. Like Rolfe said ,it was the warning note that squirrels use .They hang on to a note for a certain time ,which to other squirrels denotes the type of prey in view .For a bird of prey the note is high pitched,a sort of 'cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechak -chak',very much like the mating call but higher pitched .Usually done motionless .Ground predators are exposed with short 'chak-chak -chak 'but continuous until the threat is gone .Usually done with the tail flicking over the head .
  5. At the end of the day ,it is a promotion video and wouldnt sell much if the only noise was a gun going off .They were doing an o.k job of the commentary ,not loud mouthed yanks ,you odviously havnt heard a loud mouthed yank .We had some on an estate i was keeper on and one of them could be heard all day '.Jeeees 'this and 'god damn' that .Now he was a loud mouth yank .
  6. Revival in the fur trade ,great ,early retirement for me then .Where do these people come from .
  7. Perhaps you should get some feeders out of your own mate? .Shot 3 myself yesterday morning,the best weighed in at 43lb 84 deer now !.
  8. Cracking stag that mate .Packing meat off the hill eh ,sounds like you do need a quad .
  9. have you ever tried it?....... i have and i have to say don't believe everything you read....or hear from old poachers!! its sooooo difficult to snare a roosting bird you woudlnt believe So im told....JD With you there JD .We had a go one night with a roach pole and wire but the damn pheasants kept ducking and diving and eventually flew off .Very disapointing . .
  10. 64 still but then again ive not concentrated on them this year .You may overtake me on them but the roe count will differ im sure .Shot number 81 this year ,this morning in all that rain ,forgot camera .Good hunting to you mate .Be in touch .
  11. I have a .222cz and wouldnt change it .Federal ammo ,loves it .Bought it second hand off a mate and have shot cart loads of kit with it ,including some decent ranges -187 paces being the best .Good scope is the answer to most rifles though .
  12. Never called you a liar .A simple -' they are in two's and some are behind the chap on the right ' would have done .I suppose an added "LOL" with my post would of calmed you down .Ive heard enough to know that you are one of ,if not THE most prolific rabbit catcher in the north .Good job we dont have the numbers down here as I would have used the bottem strand of wire as well .Good hunting to you all .Foxdropper . PS ...........................and there only 64 in the pic ,must be some in the box .LOL.
  13. The numbers are getting a bit desperate around us ,not many i mean .Never known such a bad year No rabbits =no foxes .
  14. Some years ago there was a roe buck that had cleaned his antlers on a big hay bale and ended up with a load of wrap on him .Looked like a boufont hair do .Someone else shot him caught up in a hedge ,having lost a lot of body weight
  15. Like you said moll ,the man has a talent and we should all have the opportunity to get a free print ,only joking .Best left as the one print as it leaves the verdict open to the veiwer.Bit like -"if only that bed could talk ,eh ".
  16. WELL LADS , I FIND THAT YES AS MILLET HAS SAID THE COLD WEATHER HAS THEM MOVING ........... HOWEVER I THINK THE WET WEATHER GETS RATS SHIFTING FROM THE HEDGE BACKS ......... HEAVY RAIN = RATS IN MY FENNS AND BENDER SNARES NO DOUBT ITS THE FRESH GREASE RUN THEY ARE FOLLOWING SINCE THERES NO FOOD , THOUGH NOW THERES A TRAIL YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS FOR A GOOD WHILE ALL THE BEST DUCKWING Found out that the local grain/ feed mill has recently had a flood in the augre basement and i'm not the only one within a half mile to have rat visitors . Is there any way of setting
  17. Nice one lads ,good pics and well told .
  18. Stubby has a very good grounding in the genetics field so listen to him.Be careful when buying advertised BEW, as silvers and some pale sandies all start life as offwhite kits with black eyes .Moult out as true colours later .In my own experience ,ive never bred a full litter of BEW when breeding two together ,if that makes sense .The remaining coloured offspring will however breed the odd BEW when put back to one .This was a while ago when i tinkered with the gene pool and i expect there is someone breeding them true now .
  19. Now, I'd say this Is Conclusive, Photographic PROOF that I Personally witnessed a " Dingo Dog " sniffing out a hole in the bank where badgers regularly pass through. Dawn B and FoxDropper may, of course, dispute this till Pat and Noels cows come home. But I Was There! I Know what I saw! (Now know him really quite well, actually. And he's f*cking gorgeous! ) Evolution is a wonderful thing ditchy mate as they now are being born with collars .lol. Hows that mink trapping now you are wearing gloves? .
  20. It appears that the one we had is NOT the cat that is doing the damage and a return is in order .The keeper questioned it and rightly so but the wrong' un has a white paw .
