  1. Dont know about your gun laws mate but sounds like the perfect opportunity for an air weapon .
  2. Called in to a patch of ground I have yesterday evening with hopes of a buck maybe .Took along young josh from this forum who is keen to the point of being annoying !.There is a couple of small tree plantations here which are a draw for the roe .The wind was totally wrong for this ground ,blowing from behind me as we walked the fields to the brow of the valley .Decided to try the left hand fields and glassed carefully at each hedge turn .Josh who was behind me spotted a deer lead out full stretch in the mowing grass [eyes like a p***y ],roughly 200yds down the field and just over the brow of a
  3. My dig at foxy was in jest as I know him and he would take it the right way but dont slag off anyone who is out there doing it .Cubs are just smaller killing versions of adults and therefore need to be got on top of before the damage gets out of hand .You do your bit of "control"and let those that know the score propper do theirs .
  4. Fished a local lake yesterday just to see what the standard of bream was .Most were around the 3lb mark but some slabs came my way too.20yds out on the dam end in 18 ft of water so the float was out!.8 balls of ground bait in before setting up the feeder rod ,4lb straight through ,loop feeder rig and 14 hook tipped with worm and a maggot stopper .Had to wait half hour before the bream got on it but this is usual anywhere .The action was none stop for the morning but taled off in the afternoon .Its a dilemer whether or not to bang in more bait and risk loosing whats in the swim for a while or
  5. Yet again you have done well mate .Looks like we'll be watching tele' when I come up as theres nothing left to shoot .lol. Edited to say that I think its disgusting shooting cubs this time of year .
  6. Nice one mate ,when it all comes good you cant beat it .Well done .
  7. Try to think CONSERVATION mate .LOL. Good going though .Something must have rubbed off from your visits down here .lol.
  8. Nice one mate ,hope your luck goes on for months and months...............and months .
  9. Looks like its got a belly full of something .Is it me or have fish changed their feeding habits drastically .Predators on pellets.Mate of mine had a carp on a dead minnow put out for eels .Opportunism I suppose .
  10. On the subject of pike ,has livebait been banned nationwide as every water we visit has a ban .Dead baits fished hard or just off the bottem will score you bigger fish every time .Puncture the swim bladder to create a fast sinker or ram it full of pop up boilies in weeded areas to let it "sit" on weed .Used to inject deadbaits with air but this dosnt last long .
  11. Dont forget whos coming up later in the year .Would be nice to see something .lol.
  12. Seen a fair few on the lamp mate ,various farms so yes a call is on soon .The place I took you to with all the deer has been shot heavy Ive found out !.Not seen a muntie for a while now but you never know ?
  13. My ticket says .22-pest and vermin control ?Get yours changed mate .
  14. This is what damage it caused .Meopta 6-24x50 .
  15. I cannot thank a mate of mine enough for lending me ,indefinately,a scope for the new tikka t3 ,243.Zeroed it in yesterday evening and then set off for a well earned stalk .Foxhunter will know the area on a set aside field full of self sown rape in strips left by the combine 2 years ago .Spied a pair of roe on the far side and made out one as a buck .The stalk was challenging as they were in sight the whole time with 2 pairs of eyes to contend with .But ,by being careful to move only when both had their heads down I narrowed the gap to 70yds.I've recently bought a set of stalking sticks of the
  16. Thanks to the generosity of a good mate ,I now have a scope for the tikka .More of which will follow in a new topic !
  17. IMO and as a rule of thumb ,if your dog is eating unusual amounts of grass then it is deficient in something and should be encouraged to eat some form of veg .This may require liquidising and adding to the meat as some dogs do not take to raw veg .
  18. That squirrel in your avatar is a cracker mate .Not quite as big as around us ,must be a young'un .lol.
  19. Thats an option mate but I dont see why our premiums should go up because of someone elses f*ck up .
  20. I recently bought a t3 from a local gunshop ,got it home and put the strap and scope on it from my .222 with a veiw to get out and zero it .Its fitted with a t8 silencer so weighs a bit .Put the strap onto my shoulder to see just how heavy it is and the front stud pulled out the rifle ,dropping everything on the floor.A look at it revealed that I could push the fecker in and out by hand .The scope is dented and the front glass smashed ,basically a write-off .The neoprene sleeve on the silencer saved the barrel and action from damage but the scope took the full force on a tiled floor .Phoned up
  21. My mate had 300 lb from the same lake ,same swim the day after.Much bolder bites than I was getting so a pre-baiting session in order I think .
  22. Nice one mate .We are out tommorow night dealing with cubs and adults that are savaging dairy cattle ?.
  23. Any tool of that discription is likely to be hand made mate .Made from 1,1/4" steel water pipe with a connector in the middle or preferably at the top with a T-piece as the handle and unscrew point .The one I used to have, held a bar inside for tough going but needed taking out on a routine dig as it was noisy and heavy .No pics mate as I no longer have it .
