    Tbh mate I've had a play with it and put it away for a while. I'm busy with other stuff and haven't got the back garden to be regularly flinging arrows. I'm not selling it though because one day soon, hopefully, I might just get the opportunity to do it justice! I think big adventure opportunities like NZ are such a big deal to me that I'd probably always take the rifle over the bow. The bow is another experience I want in my goal of being the most well rounded hunter/outdoorsman I can be but I'm not a out an out bowhunter type so the rifle doesn't feel like second best, if you get me?

    Absolute dream!

    I think it varies for every individual tbh. That diet sounds like a good starting point and may well be perfect for them. Worth bearing in mind that a cocker is an endurance athlete whereas track dogs are sprinters though. I wouldn't get too entrenched or evangelical about any particular feeding regime. Just be mindful of any issues that may be nutrition related and be willing to adapt your regime to improve them.

    Ain't that matey from Lurcher section who wants to breed some whirriers out of his pup? Anyway, I have to have a quick look at the comments on these things. Generally look to be not negative. Imagine if it was anything other than rats though....

    I couldn't give two fucks about MMA but I've spent quite a few hours listening to Donald and Joe oddly enough. He's an interesting fella... This anecdote is a good one.

    I suspect that he got lost one day a couldn't find his way home so set up shop. Something to do with taking the wrong exit off the motorway!

    Everyone that I’ve heard who’s eaten it has said it’s one of the best game meats going. Reckon it’s like pork.

    It'll be auto-correct for sprocker.

    Fair. I don't think it'll play out quite like that. Long term, recreational stalkers will be more likely to limit the number of permissions they are responsible for and it'll probably encourage more syndicates to do the job one man was doing before. All in all allowing more opportunity.

    Okay, perhaps 'profit' was an unfair word. If my sport was paying for all costs I'd consider that good, never mind contributing to my income. If the revenue is slashed do you think that'll knock back some of the lads culling numbers that far exceed what they can process without a commercial market? Your landowners won't let anyone else on because they are used to the status quo. They don't need to because you do your job, which has been economical under historic conditions. Are folks like you gonna want to maintain your historic activities and will lads in the future work up to such level

    Do you think that if this low price is sustained then it'll lead to guys that are currently culling quite large numbers cutting back? Frankly it might well make stalking more accessible if the lads doing a lot have their profits slashed. PS I do acknowledge that you are one of those lads.

    No I’m not surprised. I love the idea of public land but I’m not sure I’m in favour of forced buy up by the state in the UK. Especially given that they’re a bunch of f***ing antis anyway. But aye, ideologically I support the concept of public ownership.

    Update for this. I was recently f***ing about setting the seating depth for some new reloads and noticed the action was completely loose! The trigger guard bolts had worked loose. Finally sick of this nonsense I bought an aly aftermarket one and just fitted it. You can’t fully tighten the bolts with the factory plastic one because it warps it and jams the mag from releasing. This aly one can be cranked up and takes all the movement out of the action. Not shot it yet but I’d be surprised if it makes things worse. Hundred quid well spent but which shouldn’t be necessary on a 1000 quid tool!

    It's a pretty solid defence mechanism if tactically directed at the enemy to be fair mate.

    Ya f****r, ya edited it before I could move!

    Another sad thing is that if the authorities ever did decide to get serious about culling deer, for public safety, it'd probably cost hundreds of thousands, would be regulated to f**k and be done entirely by professional contractors. ie the badger cull....
  17. Born Hunter
    I'm not for one second suggesting that the Gov could enact a policy of public land like in other countries. But, IF the landowners let keen lads crack on then I expect the deer would be culled and they would be just fine for it. So much absolute nonsense surrounds deer and rifles on this island.
  18. Born Hunter
    Virtually no one hunts in the uk. Almost everyone hunts in NZ.
  19. Born Hunter
    Everyone should be encouraged. Too much protection of stalking rights and too much industry promoted regulation. f**k all like that in NZ and their reds are doing just fine for it. Id love absolutely nothing more than to be pointed at the most wild lump of Scotland and told to “crack on”!

    Gummed a goat to death in Jigsaw's goat thread on GT. Check it out.

    How has no one noticed that front scope ring not seated right? LOL I don't shoot airguns anymore but I'd be dubious how firmly your scope is seated mate. Bring that front scope mount a touch back so it sits flush with the scope tube and isn't canted up by the taper of the objective lens.

    Didn't jigsaw put a post up last week about pups out of two dogs just like that....

    Fair. Little bit of money in it is all I was thinking.
