  1. Just brought a leupold scope back from florida in my hand luggage, customs guys scanned it and said it was a scope and no problem.
  2. watch the rear diffs mate, if you off road alot, had one for five years and three diffs in it
  3. ran a bravo for 5 years, a bit flat but great mpg, watch rear diffs mine had 2put in ,now running a mazda b2500 alot more comphy, and will go anywhere
  4. beddy,s mark great, have no fear of thorns and a bit of leg for the chase
  5. did 3 bottles of cheap white rum and damson last year, turned ot great stuff
  6. I Have just purchased a secondhand Marlin 22lr model 995ss and i am having problems with the rounds ejecting at the moment i am trying winchester rounds, any advice on which ammo to use or any other tips would be grateful thanks!
  7. Dont want one for digging just doing cover and retreving shot rabbits.! Im not botherd about kc to much as long as the parents have done a bit of work.! ive got beddies and beddie crosses, great dogs lots of guts, but poor at retreving mate!!
  8. to right had them for years but seen the light, got something warm instead
  9. Try lacrosse alphabury 800 insulated had them for 5 years warmer than the muckboots i have now
  10. Have this cross in my kennels now at two years old, working it with a pure bedlington aswell, great for speed, marking setts and will take feather, but be carful when starting off, like to give mouth if fustrated at an early age. This is my third bedlington cross lurcher and the whippet is better than the greyhound, to me.
  11. out shooting today, my son got one and had it fried for tea, said it was lovely, tuff to skin but.
  12. try cooking the game in red wine with a few sock veg. mine has always turned out great especially pheasant
  13. looking well, wishing i could have another one but 3 dogs is enough.
  14. Got to agree with the comment above, why give the anti,s ammo. but i realise it proves a point that some beddy,s do work well, as with all breeds theres good and bad dogs, ive owned beddys and bed x for 25 years and had good, bad and fantastic. May be not the best earth dog but one of the best alrounders in my opinion
  15. i have a hatsan and my son he,s had 500 cartridges through his (mine) and no problems yet!!
  16. i shoot on a driven game shoot, and in the past have encountered auto,s only use two shots per bird, but speaking to the keeper or shoot capt. is best bet.
  17. Sounds like a night out in Birkenhead. plenty of black rabbits in weardale, co. durham. Taken them from four different farms some 30 miles apart
  18. Had one for six years now ,works cover on a driven shoot better than any spaniel, will go to ground for fox or even rabbit, on the big side but will even dig its self in, grat nose and nows NO FEAR, !!!! just get one from working stock.
  19. made my first jam/jelly ever it was so easy take the used sloes and put 1lb with 1 pint water and simmer for 30 mins or so until fruit is really squishy, when cool strain thru a clean teatowel, ya not supposed to cos jelly won't be so clear but i wrung it out to get every last bit of juice out, back into saucepan and 1pint liquid to 1lb sugar and some lemon juice to help it set (optional add a good pinch of mixed spice) and boil gently until a splodge on a cold plate wrinkles when you push finger through it, let it cool a bit skim off any froth and pour into clean jamjars with metal lids and
  20. Wouldn't like to eat your hare mate if you hang it with thae guts in all that crap inside them??? hang em "yes" Without the guts in never done it myself either mate just heard years ago that they are hung with em in would not know 100% but like you say not for me either cheers Agree with every one gut, rabbits as soon as poss. My gandmother was a cook in a big estate house in the 30s -40s and they all ways hung for weeks even did them with maggots on !!!!!!!
  21. I breed rabbits for the table and butcher in my teens about a 120 rabbits at any one time, new zealand whites are the beed recomended by most butchers , quick growers, and decent size, be careful feeding to many greens especially cabbage family, keep hutches of the floor to help keep the myxy fly away
  22. locators are handy for keeping track on your ferret in big sets or anywhere the ferret could slip out unseen. down side are u digging the ferret out or the £50 collar!
  23. Try to walk some rabbits into a set and let the dog rake around the holes ,hopefully the dog will mark the hole were rabbits are ,after a few goes at this ,shes invaluable saves doing empty sets and you have a good idea were they will bolt from. I have a bed. terrier and bed x whippet cross both mark great
  24. great pics and great dogs
  25. nothing better than cracking new permission, great bag!!
