The reason for asking for recommendations is that I don't want to be shelling out good money for something widely regarded as a pile of shite.... For example: i've read that early Logun S16's had a tendency to jam, but the Mk2's don't. Info like that. It's Ok reading the makers websites, or the gun suppliers sites, but nowt beats the personal thoughts of those who've used the guns.

I thought the law prohibited the carrying of uncovered guns in public. The gun would be in a gun slip, at the very least. The main problem is if the slip is very long, the wind resistace at any speed tries to rip your head off Given the state of biker 'politics' at the moment, carrying an uncovered gun on a bike would be well dodgy in the Midlands..... Thanks for the advice so far.

1) What's the best way of gaining a permission if you're a total newbie in airgun hunting? I don't want to lie about my (lack of) experience but I can't see the average farmer being too keen on having a beginner on their land. Wouldn't want to step on anyone elses toes either.... And 2) Any recommendations for a precharged repeater rifle and scope setup. I'd look to spend about £250 and the rig would have to be able to be transported on a motorbike. No restrictions on who answers. I'd value opinions from anyone.

Was forced to hunt food for my kits (pics)

And even the Indians and Pakistanis fight between themselves. And with the Bangladeshis, and the Sikhs.....

What a good thread. One thing I do remember is my mate's farm, with a tractor that needed starting on TVO (?) before being switched over to diesel. Local ferreter dropping off rabbits on a Thursday....that were Saturday dinner. Sundays was chicken, a luxury then. Pork chops with kidney in, from a local butcher that did his own slaughtering. The village in north Derbyshire having summat like 10 shops, all for local people, not 'Outdoor' shops. Getting money back off pop bottles. As a kid, buggering off after me breakfast and not coming back for hours, nobody knew where

Better edit the quote then.....

Best thing about being British is that it means I'm not French

It is. 1972 1300 irs with 1600 barrels/pistons/heads. Built in 1992 by Chris Ireland, I'm led to believe.

I value my fookin license too much..... Those are excellent bikes and it'll make someone very happy.....but not me sadly. Hope you sell fast, mate

No probs here, scothunter....a bird in the hand.....

You've missed the point. Why transport the poor thing all the way down to Cheshire when there's a Rescue local to it? Fine, if there wasn't summat already sorted. But as I see it there was. I reckon the personal grievance is on your side, Caz, because another member on here was involved.
-
That's what I've been told, will. Just can't see the point of carting the poor bugger half way down the island to live in a cage in someone's back room when there's a perfectly good Rescue in Scotland. Refreshingly humane attitude from a few on here, too. I've culled tropical fish before, never liked doing it. Especialy when the 'chap across the heed' needs a hammer....
-
Just a thought. Isn't 6 weeks a bit early to take a kit away from it's mother and cart it all the way to Bolton? No doubt Steve could wait a bit longer and the kit wouldn't have as far to go to Tayside.....

Stopwatch. Invaluable fleabay aid....

That's why I went on to bottles. They never got the connection between tipping bowls over and getting thirsty....
-
Mine had bowls for 2 years. Tried them with bottles and the took straight to them. They seem happy to use either.

Have a ring round. Local vets charge £15 for a callout. Getting an animal to them and back costs me £12 by taxi.....
-
I like that!
-
Sorry to hear that. Hope the kits continue to do well.
-
Excellent stuff. And you've got anglers sussed....

Could be if poacherjoe 'obtained' his polecat local to you.... http://www.jncc.gov.uk/page-2795-theme=textonly

Jeeeezus!!!!! Not only does Will know how fat me ferrets are, and what I feed 'em on, but he can read your mind too, Kay That was a joke, before the hardman hunter lynch squad assembles...... You sure the polecat element of the original cross was pure polecat, Will? Cos there's apparrently a large percentage of hybrids in the native polecat population.

So is Mick, I bet.....

Best advice I've read in the last 2 pages I came onto this forum to find out if the prejudices against hunters that you get on the 'pet' forums was based on anything. Been a bit of a mixed bag. There's some thoughtful and humane people on here, but there's also quite a few that seem to believe that if they're killing summat that makes them 'hard' and macho. There are some that seem to revel in 'culling'. Stubby quite rightly worries about the image of ferreting portrayed here. With most people he needn't worry. They might be forthright but they're human. He needs to work on the b
