    i shot a couple of crows in a cut silage field field last summer and was patiently waiting on the crows returning when a buzzard landed and carryied off one of the crows. we have a lot of buzzards around this location as well. I notice more and more articles in hunting magazines about games keepers getting prosecuted for killing buzzards and other birds of prey.

    my son lost his ferret last year, we live in the country and there are no other house around us. We looked over the fields for the best part of a week and left dead rabbits out in areas that we thought he may be, the rabbits didnt last too long due to foxes etc. I mentioned it to my mum about 6 days later and she called into one of the local radio stations. Before she had hung up the phone a guy had called into say that he knew where the ferret was. The ferret had broke into a shed in a garden over 2 miles away and was trying to get at a pet rabbit. we evenutally got the ferret back as he

    Are you sure?, i hunt with a guy who uses a mk I and his box will pick up my mkIII collars but my MKIII wont pickup his collars. keith

    if you are close enough to the collar you will still get a good reading on its side but i found that it is stronger at two points along the direction of the collar and weakest directly about the collar. Just my findings, keith

    well spotted it is, but i use the mkIII, by the time we got the collar out we had been using 2x mkI and 1 x MKIII. For reference i found that the mkI will bleep the MKIII collars but not the other way around

    sorry if this is something that is obvious to most guys on here but i thought i would share a recent experience that could save some time and effort. I recently lost a collar in a deep sandy set, the ferret came out of the hole and once in the box i set about the short task of locating the collar and digging it out, or so i thought. I located the collar and X'ed the spot where i thought it was, i set about digging down to the 8ft mark as per the mkIII display, thankfully it was sand. Once i broke into the hole i couldnt quite reach the collar that i was sure was just up the hole to one side. A

    thanks for the replies, i will try the SAK. The rifle i have was not screw cut in the factory so i will also have to send the rifle away to be screw cut and after waiting 6months for the FAC i will probably shoot it for a couple of months before sending it away. Has anyone sent a rifle off from n. ireland to have the barrel screw cut and roughly how long did the process take and cost. keith

    just wondering what sound moderators you recommend for the marlin .17hmr or moderators in general for .17hmr thanks keith

    the price was approx $90 with $7 shipping, i had the trigger within about 3 days from the states.

    hi guys I recently started shooting with a marlin .17hmr after years of hunting with rapid 7 air rifles . i found the trigger on the marlin to be very heavy and hard to get used to. I replaced it with a Rifle Basix trigger and the difference was day and night. The trigger is adjustable up to a trigger pull of 2lbs and i have set it towards the max pull weight, it has improved the overall feel of the rifle significantly. I would reccomend the trigger and the service from rifle basix to anyone with a marlin .17hmr looking to improve their rifle.
