  1. You be careful, I always find the best way of getting fox/pigeon/any quarry, to appear is by checking phone..or getting flask out...or going for a wee!!!
  2. Looks idyllic mate, no better way to spend an evening.
  3. Cheers FF but no. I've worked it out, needed to buy a separate adapter.
  4. Bought a cheapo el nastyo pump off flea bay. It's to fill buddy ova super10 but female end of filling house is too small, anyone shed some light on what size I need? Cheers
  5. Absolute spot on. I had that very conversation/debate with a young swamp 'lady' a few years back at a vegan wedding (I know, I thought it was a cruel joke too!) It was that sticking point that really boiled her pisś, that I enjoyed shooting. Not that I enjoyed just killing something, but the stalk, the bushcraft, the reconnaissance, understanding our beautiful countryside far better than she did from her animal care diploma & watching the really wild show. But of course, as ever with these fundamentalists I was fighting a losing battle so I went outside to eat some contraband biltong
  6. https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/why-chris-packham-is-in-favour-of-culling-in-some-instances/ But still says magpie shouldn't be controlled.
  7. I made some with black silage wrap & a stapler!
  8. Aye, and I bloody married one! Growing up in north Wales, Notts women were a revelation!!
  9. Out walking my dogs coupe nigts back trough field of wheat. Dogs off to my left about 50 odd yds. Noise just to my right, fox trotting up tramline, oblivious to me, pops about about 15 yds from my right handside, we both just stopped still staring at each other, could see Charlie's eyes saying "oh bollocks"!! I whistled dogs as fox turned tail but nothing to report. Always the way.
  10. If a cow's foot goes down burrow, broken leg, cow PTS farmer out of pocket. If they tunnel under fence posts, fencing need replacing, farmer out ofpocket. Definite pest control, well done @Longshanx
  11. Anyone seeing many in number yet? Seen first clutch of pheasant yesterday on our farm. At least two pair's of grey partridge paired up, fingers crossed.
  12. Welcome along Dobbie. What part of Notts you in? I'm just outside Bingham. Same here, best place to be!!!
  13. Who has better recall though??? ? I know what you mean about enjoying the chase, my lurcher is 9yo now but still thinks she's got it!
  14. Welcome along mate. That sounds pretty amazing. One thing I've never experienced, seeing someone working falconry etc. What's the catch rate like for a 'good' bird?
  15. Gone for a 686Special. Cheers for all the replies fellas
  16. Two nights in a row now I've shot up from dinner table hearing blackbirds kicking off, magpie basťard in amongst branches both times. Only so many times I can clap hands & jump up and down.... neighbours already think I'm bonkers!!
  17. He does wear them.......but she chooses which ones!
  18. Probably got pheasants so piśsed they were staggering about & couldn't wander off to neighbours!
  19. Personally, I don't like to see semi auto on game shoots. I'm a bit of a traditionalist & it wouldn't feel 'right' to be shooting birds I've put hours into rearing with the third cartridge from a cammo semi. Each to their own. ?
  20. Cheers for all the replies fellas. @Sausagedog and @Rimfireboy! My first intention was indeed a sXs. Aesthetically I find them more appealing but I've had several people tell me how tricky they are to get used to in terms of line of sight, aim etc. I've had a shotgun for 16 years but never fired a sXs.... decisions decisions. I do realllllllllly like look of AYA guns.
  21. For last few years all my shooting has been with a semi. But this game season I'll be having a few walked up days so looking for a cheap (400-600 notes) o/u to last me 12 months. Got my eye on a Fabram gamma 2 & a Franchi harrier, any thoughts on either ofthese? Cheers
