  1. This might be the problem - There should be a baffle in the firebox just below the flue which is designed to keep the flames and heat in the stove. Sometimes after sweeping the chimney, quite a lot of soot can collect on top of this baffle, stopping the smoke from escaping up the chimney properly. When you moved the stove it could've dislodged soot or debris onto there also.
  2. Good going, and a nice read, cheers.
  3. Hares!!! .. and skills. A dog doesnt need to have a lot of skill to run afox like it does a hare(preban).. I have 2 dogs just under 23" mate..(both do single handed, one did it at just under 12mths, the other was over 2yrs, no bull in them) If i were you i would double your dog up with a seasoned fox hunter..Let it see and learn the ropes. Thats if it wants to, as if it doesnt there is nothing you can do... The reason people hold them back is for them to mature become of age, because once they've jacked pal, there not a lot you can do..A young dog getting a face full of fox alone,
  4. That's right willum, also can you imagine scanning a large field with a beam that small? it'd take ages and if it's on top of the scope your arms would soon be knackered!
  5. yep your not wrong... i prefare to bump into stuff like this, than an over protective gamekeeper!! haha... Keepers are never over protective are they??.....
  6. Good pics again. One of the things that's most enjoyable about any walk out is that you just never know what you may bump into. ATB
  7. Couldn't agree more Nik. I'd have nothing left if our labs were kept indoors, mine in particular likes to chew everything it can get to! It's a minor fault when you consider all the positives of this breed though, and if they're kennelled outside not a problem. I also think dogs kept outside are hardier too, as long as they're in a dry draughtproof kennel and get plenty of socialising and exercise.
  8. Just found on Ebay inovatech's tiablo scope mounted led light Kenny quiet cheap if not a steal http://cgi.ebay.co.u...#ht_2341wt_1139 cheers Callum A lot bloody cheaper than qouted in the magazine!! The photo of the one on test had a longer body though. Not sure if it's the same model that can be used with either one or two batteries. According to the company that is selling them on Ebay it can take one or two batteries. I had to check as I thought the Ebay ad not very clear as l wasn't too sure if it was a spare part or not but heres the actual product for sale
  9. Is that why my terriers shit in my boots hahaha Terriers are probably trying to tell you that they're sick of being taken out by a bloke wearing those kind of boots

  11. Although as I've said, I like the LA4, there's a good review in this months sporting rifle mag on the masterlite supreme and inovatech's tiablo scope mounted led light. The latter was more powerful and would seem better suited to foxing, but was about twice the price, though if you consider that it comes with 2 rechargeable batteries (which are supposed to be ample for a full nights lamping), these are comparable in cost to a standard lamp and lithium battery pack, but without the weight and wires. It'd be interesting to hear whether anyone on here has any experience with them.
  12. I'd suggest speaking with the people from handykam.com Dave, I use several of their systems at work, and the cameras would certainly show up the impact point. The drawback is that you'd probably need a wireless transmitter for the ranges you'd be needing, and that's where the cost jumps up. I only use the wired systems which are great up to 50 metres but I'm not sure whether you could extend the range without a drop off in quality. I've made up systems from different pieces of equipment from them after explaining what I need, and they've always given sound advice, and the after sales service
  13. A great all round dog....great temperment, intelligent and easier trained than spaniels. Do all you will ask and more I couldn't agree more.
  14. Considering the conditions weren't ideal I'd be happy at that, and check at different ranges as soon as I could. It's not often that we're out after quarry when there's no wind anyway, and that grouping should give you a clean kill on a fox even out to a fair range, and I'm sure you'll be posting some positive results soon
  15. Good stuff . A day out's never wasted.
  16. A perfect example of simple decency and respect paying off ,
  17. That's a great photo, I really like it.
  18. I know what you mean about the zeroing, it can be a right pain! The mount I use is the older type, not the snap on one, and when I first fitted it I had to shorten it slightly by cutiing a slice off the front with a hacksaw cos it was catching on the front mount. It takes a bit longer to attach the lamp but it's still reasonably quick and simple. Let us know how you get on with it.
  19. They're good for rabbits too, but again the quality varies with the background but if you look through the ranger you regularly see rabbits that you can't pick out when you put the lamp on. Probably the biggest fault I find is that one of the places I shoot on is just a couple of miles from a big town and when you're scanning fields in that direction it's harder to pick things out because of the ambient light in the sky, but when you turn and face the darker areas it's fine. I don't get this problem with the conventional NV scope. Regarding price, to be honest the much cheaper digital ranger
  20. Try switch sound file converter, it's a free and safe download. I'm not sure if it'll work with fxp format but it's good with the ones I've tried. ATB
