    I've a chance to buy an old Parker Hale, Mauser actioned .270w but I've noticed that when the bolt is all the way to the rear, there is a lot of play or movement from side to side and up and down in the bolt. I've no experience of Mauser action rifles and was wondering if this is normal? The bolt cycles smoothly and locks securely though, what are your thoughts please? Toddy

    A good place to start will be with your keeper friend, he will be able to put you in touch with a breeder of good pups, I think that this is the best time of year to get one. He will also be able to introduce you to other beaters and those who use their dogs for picking up, they will be able to help you with trainig your pup. When you get one, feel free to PM me and I will give you any help that I can, although Im no expert. Like everything else, youll get out of a pup what you put into it. All the best, TT.

    Beautiful pup mate, congratulations. As everyone else has said, take your time, you have a great oppurtunity now to build a really strong bond wtih your pup, just by being the source of all that is pleasurable in its life, ie lots of time spent together playing fun and games. The time spent now building that bond between you is irreplacable and is worth more than anything you would ever achieve by starting training early. Best of luck, TT.

    I ordered Fenn mark IVs off John B from this site and Fourteenacre, he went out of his way to save me money on the postage and the traps are top quality, I know I ll get years of use from them. I ordered them yesterday and they were on my doorstep for 9.30 this morning. Quality product and a top quality service, I would definately buy from him again. Cheers, TT.

    One or two crow decoys amongst our pigeon deeks add realism and give the birds more confidence in our neck of the woods. In fact when going pigeon shooting I take a crow call with me as well as crow deeks and we have had some good shooting as a result. I would imagine if it works here, it should work in your area too. Try it and see. Cheers, TT.

    Sorry for your loss. TT.

    Good numbers of them in Co. Antrim, providing good sport. We are seeing a few each day with normally a brace being shot. All adult birds so far.

    You have a PM. TT.

    Lexie, The goose shooting here is mostly tied up by the wildfowling clubs. There is nothing like the number of geese here as in Scotland so most Goose shots head over there for a few days. Some shooting can be had if you do a bit of leg work and know the right spots to look, but like I say they are few and far between in most of the province. Some of the wildfowling clubs will sell you a day permit through a BASC scheme but you need to go with a local or do lots of recces first to know where the flightlines are. Where abouts are you? Good luck in getting some sport, TT.
  17. teknystoddy
    Yes mate, still protected. Check out the BASC site for quarry species and seasons. TT.

    Could be a stress reaction, particularly after surgery. Just something else to consider. TT.

    Just been watching some of Davy McPhail's fly tying videos on youtube, seem to be quite good, he does Trout and Salmon flies as well as a lure or two and a saltwater fly. Thought Id post it incase anyone else wants to have a look, I'm afraid I'm a technophobe and cant post the links. YIS, TT.

    Remember as a rough guide dabbling ducks generally will only take grain up to a depth no greater than the top of your wellies. Any deeper and they wont bother. Might want to bear this in mind when deciding where exactly to put yer feeder. Also makes life easier for topping it up obviously, as you dont need to put waders on. Just as a matter of interest, what feeder are you using? Im using a Fatboy 3 which we got last season, seems ok, not fantastic though. YIS, TT.

    Dont know about gundogs but there used to be a racehorse named JAFEICA, when the Channel 4 racing presenter asked the owner about the name he replied live on air, 'It stands for Just Another Feckin Expense I Cant Afford.' Quality, TT.
