  1. Broadheads are not stopped at customs and neither are any of the other bowhunting paraphanalia. In order for the british bowhunter to practice he must do so with broadheads and so he must get them sent over here. That is not illegal because the bowhunter is using them for practice in a training for a planned bowhunt in a country where it is legal. There are many bowhunters in the uk. It is an amazing sport and shooting a bow is so much better than a gun and alot harder too, its not as simple as picking a bow up and away you go....every arrow has to be tuned and the bow, itself, is a presise pe
  2. Crossbows are not in the same league as compound bows. They are noisier and not as accurate. Bowhunting is illegal in the UK, but i am told it is legal in france and most of europe.

    oldest dog

    Was with a dog the other night. 31 she said she was....
  4. No mate, it was a brindle bitch. Bred in Leeds. About 5 years ago (ish).
  5. Eeerrmmm...lucky ..or advice off a legend.... set the shutter speed lower mate 500 i would be trying.......get a better depth of view
  6. My good mate once had a ridgeback/grey X bull/grey....too heavy and cloddy for proper lurcher work. It was a lump of a dog though.
  7. I was chucking me teddy out me pram too, rough life :11: Your still chucking your teddy out , bignose gimplet
  8. I dont know if its just me, but he has the mannerisms of Gary Glitter in that picture....shifty little fella.......

    you look like a predator with a huge nose ian....glad mines not as big
  11. Totally agree......this is a painting i bought a few years ago of ridgebacks and lion.... wasnt cheap then and the edition of 200 sold out long ago......wonder what it would be worth now????
  12. Chitty chitty bang bang...
  13. Guys, please think before you post. These boards are public and open to everyone. Our opponents copy text from this site. please go steady. Don't grass yourselves up and please think if what you write could be taken out of context. No one wants a knock on the door.....keep safe....and good hunting guys....JD
  14. The way i look at it is why buy deben poorly made shite when you can pay an extra £100 and get the best locator system on the market from Bellman and Flint......just what is your dog worth?....
  15. From the little i have used one, i found the noise of the locator box very annoying..... the collar too is far too flimsy IMHO......if i were spending near-on £200 i would expect a decent strength collar...after all, if the collar strap fails, the rest of the product is flawed......
  16. If they are true wild boar you intend to hunt with a dog, IMHO, if the dog is a game one, it will probably be killed......think about the dogs first fella's.......
  17. I dont think its the feed mate that makes them golden, cos that is how they are born. When gold fish are bred they only have a % of "orange" young, the rest revert back to their natural colour which is brown , like the colouring of normal carp....... you cannot colour feed a "brown" goldfish into an "orange" goldfish, from what i can gather....IMHO>...
  18. I think you will have to go some to beat the original paul/pauline calf.......absolutely awesome.....
  19. If your down my neck of the woods next april or may i can sort the newts out.....log piles do not have to be next to the water, in fact, IMHO there is more chance of the next using them if they are situated AWAY from the water....dont try and look for the newts once they are hibernating cos they are very hard to see, turning into a "blob"...Newts can travel a very long distance away . Piles of rubble are also a good hibernacular for them too even though its not native, the canadian pond weed is excellent for oxygen....other than that i dont think the plants matter really what you put in....
  20. Any fish other than bottom feeders , eg gudgeon, loach, will eat newt larvae...stickle backs are the worst fish for this... they are b*****ds! Ducklweed is no good for your pond as it will take over the full surface and block out all the light penetrating into the water...stopping true oxygenating water plants thriving and also hindering amphibian larvae development.........Dont worry about plants getting accustomed..you will spend the first year putting them in and the rest of your life trying to get on top of their invasive spread!!! lol Newts like a bit of clear water... especially the gr
