whats the minimum age for a fac
trapperman replied to fieldsportsman's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
i got my sgc at 15 but that was 21 years ago i dont know if its changed, but i think my dad had to be with me when i got my first gun (not on his sgc but just to accompany me i think). cant see any reason why you shouldnt get it if you have a reason, if you dont have permission yet just join a clay pigeon club . -

They get quieter the more you put through them, it might quieten yet more after another 100 or so. I love mine, and use it for all my shooting, i dont like wearing ear defenders and also dont want to go deaf .....that was the main reason i bought it. Do you clean the mod?, i have to take mine off to get it in the cabinet and lots of crap comes out when i take it off but i dont wipe it down i just put a little oil on the threads.

pissed myself .

I brought a baikel stealth hushpower a couple of weeks ago, i got it purely for dispatch of cage caught foxes as this is what was reconmended by my fao, i have put over 100 carts through it now of various types and the eley subsonics are the quietest i think. I`m afraid i am going to disagree with most and say its far louder than any air gun i`ve ever fired and i`ve had loads of airguns over the years, i`m sure i may use it now and again for other things than fox dispatch as it is quieter than my unmoderated .410 but for rabbiting i would use the rimmy every time if i can.

My prices are on my website have a look, click my link to it and tell me what you think i only came into the 21st century a few months ago my wife designed it and did all the work. almost all my mole work is domestic but there are some very large propertys in oxfordshire and i have been to everything from the smallest council house to huge country houses with dozens of acres, to be honest i`m not to bothered about doing large farm clearance as i would think that at the price farmers want to pay i`m better off doing domestic work anyway.

Its funny how someone i never met passing away can make me feel sad but i used to watch his films with my old man when i was little, he is one of the few who could make you laugh without doing anything particuly funny in itself. rip .

your right about the weather i held off with the feeding as long as i dared to get enough bees for winter i will feed now till about middle of october, all this brood should be hatched by then and they can fill up the cells with stores as they come out. mine are going mad for the ivy at the moment, its the busyiest i`ve seen them all year. bees a couple of weeks ago the yellow streaks.
-
All going well John i have done apiguard, queen went off laying in the middle of treatment but at the end of 4 weeks she had relayed 5 frames of brood, so hopefully will have lots of bees for winter, started feeding on saturday and had some funny yellow streaks on the front of the hive i thought this was pollen but some on the beekeeping forum think it maybe the shits so i have ordered some nosema treatment just to be on the safe side. how yours doing.

He is a bit of a twat but as a 'tv programme' then its ok. I always laugh when he does one of these daring stunts and he goes on how 'one slip and he is dead' and a boy does it along side him with a great big f*****g camera on his back. Thats what i mean, , but its o.k as a bit of entertainment which is all it is.

my dad got me that book when i was about 9 or 10 it was my bible back then i tryed all the traps out with very limited success and nearly broke my nose when my spring snare went off and smacked me in the face, i also got grounded for a week for catching birds in the garden with fishing hooks, all good fun. i found it in the loft last year and my son now has it hes 11 now and loves it.

i think ray mears is better as hes more real, i mean if your trying to survive on your own in the wilderness the last thing you should be doing is trying to jump across a fast flowing river in the rocky`st place or diving off high ledges or eating shit "quite literily", if you try and survive by taking the risks bear grylls does you would`nt last long, his show is just that a show and i dont think he was ever in the special forces either, i do watch it sometimes but to be honest the guys just a twat.

You cant beat it can you, i`m sweating like f##k now tho misses is o.k tho.

I keep soay sheep no money in them but they are very hardy, nice to look at and they shed their fleece so no shearing.
-
As title says, its getting that time of year again the misses keeps putting the heating on so time to save the gas and light the fire. Have any of you used yours yet?.

that would make a wicked rat smoker

i`ve kept lots of poultry over the years but have now settled on light sussex, they go broody often through spring/summer so just let them sit, they make good mothers

a good friend of mine is a thatcher, grows all his own straw, 20 acres all cut with an old binder, i used to work on the roofs or the farm threshing and harvesting with him years ago when i was doing continental shifts at the factory (on my days off), its great to see him working, but its one hell of a messy dusty job when you have to strip the old thatch off, i used to come home black from head to foot.

the farmer i get my hay off said it will run short before the winters out, because of the dry weather we had people were feeding hay as soon as it was cut because the grass stopped growing (i had to give a little to my few sheep plus extra concentrate). so it will probs rocket in price its £5 a bale here already i`m sure if the buggers have got a big enough vehicle and a buyer they will be nicking it
