    Hello I have a MK3 set for £110 and a grey knocker box 8ft set for £75 plus postage or collect from Northumberland. Giving up ferreting .

    Traveling around my area of the north east and the Scottish borders I've noticed that pheasant road kills are way down on other years .could it be that fewer birds are being released. Or have keepers found away to teach road sense Or even managed to talk the buggers out of commiting harry carry. Just a thought.

    Shovel leaner I would not have a keepers job for love nor money to much like hard work with plenty of pressure and many unpaid hours .But running a little shoot for a syndicate has its rewards.

    Up at 5am sort me and the dogs out drive an hour and a half to the shoot check all pens change elect fence battery and test wires. Pick up dead birds( mostly killed by our friendly resident hooky beaks) and dump them in a stink pit ( to temped Charlie to visit) . top up feeders with pellets transfer water from well to storage tank and then to drinkers. Repair a few holes in the netting .sort out the quad as it packed in while taken repaired hoppers back to one of the drives . Something to eat then crop protection time with the 410 on woodies and jackdaws. Had to check one of the duck

    My original post boils down to why do 70 celebrities think they have more clout with the gov than 120.000 odd folk who signed a gov approved route to make contact with Westminster.

    70 celebs of colour demand the gov set up a enquiry and report the finding to the public on why more people of colour are loosing the fight against the lurgy than white people are. I signed a petition along with 12300 thousand others for the report into grooming gangs to be made available to the public but havn't seen much in the M.S.M. about this issue. I am sure the gov has stated a few time in the past that they are monitoring the ongoing situation of the deaths in the BEM population during this pandemic and yet these 70 good folk have to jump on a bandwagon to point out how th

    I keep my dogs outside in kennels even when I had only one in the house she had her own space inn the porch. I see no advantage in keeping a working dog indoors .

    Not gone thru all this post but if no one has mentioned STILL GAME its worth a look (some southerners might not get it ? )

    the syndicate is a pheasant shoot.To keep it in house so to speak I offered the stalking to our members .
  14. hily
    I don't have the experience to look after novice guns and I also live 60 miles away from the ground. Not just target shooting when you have to stalk into your target then prep and inspect the deer for the larder so a learning trip out. Are you a genuine whanna be stalker if you don't want pay for a stalk.
  15. hily
    I don't stalk but have shooting rights for land we use for a syndicate shoot .The farmer doesn't mind deer on the place but now and again he wants a few taken off. We have a few lads who want to stalk 2 are novices and 1 is very experienced I will not let the novices out on the place by themselves so the experienced man offered to take them out if they paid £40 towards his expenses mostly diesel as he would have a 120 mile round trip to the permission . He would larder the deer and sell it to his game dealer and the money would be given to the shoot funds or the shooter could buy the

    Hope you have a good season Bell. Most of the lads travel over an hour to get to our ground it takes me an hour and a half but its worth it.

    Thanks for taken time to view and reply Phil I must try and take some pics won't be as good as yours that's a nice looking cocker Bell up in the borders.

    I help to run a walk and stand syndicate we have twelve guns that's two teams of six So when four lads could not make it on Sat I tried to fill the vacancies but no one took up the offer. Saturdays shoot with only 4 guns in the line and 4 beaters seamed as if it wasn't going to be a very good day and it was bloody raining on the first drive .My team was to beat on the first drive thru a wood of falling trees and heavy bracken cover we pushed thru with two lads with dogs in the wood and one flanking either side with one walking gun. We flushed at least a half dozen pheasants and about

    We have them open from day one in our main pen .300 T0 400 BIRDS . our logic is as we have a number of buzzards on the place and as we are unable to place a top net on the pen we give the birds a better chance of dodging the raptors and becoming streetwise plus we need them to get used to moving into other woods on the place . We do keep small pens closed with top nets 20 / 30 birds until end Sep using these birds as callers to keep others from straying to far onto the moor seems to have worked for us over the last 16 years . Of course your situation may be very different to ours .

    Don't know what pressure he was under he didn't live on the estate as reported . The estate has cut down Henlaw wood . Think he will get a custodial sentence. Can't see him changing his mindset so will he ever be employed as a gamey again hope not.

    Bought the same book many years ago if you want a good solid reference book full of knowledge that you won't see on a D.VD. this is a good aid to training a spaniel.

    Great visually but the walt Disney dialog is awful shame as it looks like a lot of effort has gone into the actual filming .
