Easy that one... a stove and a dog!
-
Exactly the same with mine, I always make sure I squeak to them as I go up to the hutch for feeding time, easier than taking the food bowls to rattle in the middle of a farmers field!

Depends on the road, if it's quiet... well it's part of my permission in't it??? if a busy A road, fill in the holes on that side and work from your permission side

Lure machine (where to buy or how to make)
Lerk replied to ihatealiens's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
£60's not a lot of money for a full set up! We've just made one and even including the fact that we got the starter, box section, drum, wooden spacer made, cable and fixings for nowt and I already have a spare battery sat about. It's still cost us £35 just to get hold of 200m of line and a solenoid to switch the power... I've also spent an extra tenner on two bicycle wheel hubs to make a primary turning point/spool loading pulley and will need another two if they work well to turn the line along the course -
Do you like using spanners??? If yes, i'd go for the 300TDi, you can fix anything yourself... although many are badly affected by tin-worm (sills, boot floor, rear wheel arches on 5-drs, front inner wings...) If no, the TD5 will generally be in better nick - but everything is electronic so you'll need access to diagnostics kit... HTH

Excuse the quality of the welding, thats TIG with no gas for you!... This was supposed to be a prototype so I wasn't too bothered about it, but i've never got round to making another cos rough as it is, this one works!

Give us a mo i'm trying to find the camera lead...!

The best part of hunting for me is the satisfaction of using stuff you make yourself rather than just buying it from a shop! Wilko's clothes props make excellent hide poles, but my execution is different... Remove the plastic bung from the bottom and crimp the bottom up (vice is useful!) then at around 14" up from the bottom, I have drilled an 8mm hole. Make as many of these as you want at £3 each. Now the tricky part, I made up a removable footpeg from a piece of pipe slightly larger diameter than the pole, cut in half and a piece of 1/4" rodwith a 90 degree bend 1" from one end

As per title, having introduced him to shooting my mate is looking to apply for his SGC but is struggling to think of a suitable referee... I am a multi-skilled engineer with formal training, I hold an SGC, am a homeowner and AFAIK am a well rounded (well actually very well ROUNDed! lol) individual. I am however not a member of an engineering institute etc. Would I be able to sign his SGC as a referee? I've told him to keep thinking of someone else, but at the moment his main choice is unwilling to sign as she is anti-guns. I'm willing to vouch for him, but would hate for his

only difference is that you won't leave yellow ones in a hedge bottom!

No one else noticed that the hare footage was all rabbits then????

Washing up liquid is as good a plasticiser as any... Take your time and get the first course right and the rest will fly up!

search google for Chairgun... input details of your combo and it will tell you your primary and secondary zero ranges. Also if you have a pcp, you can zero with one shot at this shorter range, clamp the rifle so it cannot move then take one shot at a blank target, then set the scope to the hole you just made. Always check that this zero is correct once you get to a place where you can shoot at your full range...

Mine get rabbits, crows, pigeons, pheasants (roadkill mr gamekeeper!), squirrels and anything else i can get my hands on just as it died... always keep a close eye on bed compartments and hidey holes for stashed bits, but they never leave a thing! Definately saves time on preparation...

Dry food = £13 per 15kg @ 500g per day thats 43p per day Tripe = 27p per pound, plus a handful of mixer = about the same if not less...

Have you not got your own SGC? I thought that at 15 you could hunt on your own...

can some ONE help me PLEASE
Lerk replied to gunpower's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
search for 'talon owners group' and have a mouch about on there... there's one guy on there that makes uprated ones that don't suffer from blow-by -
Not in it - on it... it's galvanised, but then so is most weld mesh you'd choose to make a hutch from too!

Was apparently my GSDs name before I got him - not that he had a clue that it was supposed to be! He was promptly renamed with a good strong german name, may have been a slight coincidence that I was also listening to a lot of music by a group oof lads from Leeds at the time - Kaiser I also have 4 ferrets - Ethel, Vera, Cecil and Matson and a Collie x called Sydney All names of 'older' relatives!

But what's to say the BNP is King Dick???? Maybe Brown is the lionheart - he seems to be doing a sh!thot job of disallowing most things we enjoy doing and have done for many years...

Are gunpower staelths any good
Lerk replied to gunpower's topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and Tips
Tuners paradise... If you can get on with the buddy bottle stock, noisy breach and firing valve - they have lovely triggers, oh and the noisy safety mechanism can be easily removed! If tinkering is your thing, go ahead. If you want to shoot straight out of the box - a better option would be an Air arms S200, cheap, reliable and for £60 you can turn it into a 10 shot. -
Apparrently the latest suspect is George Michael, they found a chocolate bar up Mr Gately's rectum and believe it to be a careless wispa... OK... Coat, picking up, leaving!

Just woke up with a start looked at the clock and realised it said 5:43... Leapt from my nice warm comfortable bed cursing myself for overlaying, how could I get to work in 17 minutes... oh well the dogs ain't getting a walk this morning. Ripped my jeans rushing to get em on, I get this strange feeling... which I promply ignore and carry on rushing around like an idiot. Once again I'm overcome by this wierd thought (listen to it dummy!) 'hang on why is the clock radio not still playing to itself?'... Bollocks - I'm on afters this week Any other shift workers have this

Yes it is, what gave it away??? I picked up my first nets from Mick's house... the guy must never stop knitting, there were nets and twine everywhere!!!

Hows the new accommodation going, is it proving difficult to keep clean with the earth floor or is that just my brain thinking that???
