Find yourself a second hand Beretta AL390, bloody good guns. I got mine for 300 quid, few knocks as expected but still solid and reliable. Ive put 28gram clay cartridges through it as well as 52 gram fox cartridges (although i mainly use 36gram BBs), does the lot, the only trouble i had was a shitty batch of eley highflyers a while ago but that was the cartridges not the gun.

It's an I'll wind.......blew me some good though.
Born Hunter replied to Rolfe's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
i dont think scent carries in water does it ? Yep, guarantee that, water holds scent better than dry ground. yeah but how would they sniff if they did they would surely drown ? lol, the water carries the scent in the form of insoluble(sp) substances like oils which are carried on the surface of the water, these slowly vapourise into the air where they can be 'sniffed'. Like beeing able to smell a petrol spillage -

Theres going to be far more knowledgeable people than me to comment on this but with respect to which direction the mink are most likely caught, could it be becuase the mink 'work' the river against the flow becuase water holds scent well? So by working against the flow, scent will be literally hitting them in the face as apposed to going away. Like a dog working into the wind.... ?? -
They are vermin mate but dont say your dog was off the lead cause in public places yo aint realy suposed to have your dog off the lead Its pretty simple, only rabbits and rats are allowed to be hunted with dogs, but there are loopholes of course and 'accidents' happen

Killed first young today, dug to three fist size rabbits so thats my season over. Just use the air rifles now to keep the ferrets fed and control the rabbits where needed

Ill tell ya whats sad, that doesnt surprise me at all. Its disgusting but the reality of our country.

Ferreters are no better than Badger Baiters
Born Hunter replied to Pembshunter's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
Whats the difference in digging and baiting? Digging is a form o hunting, baiting is putting an animal into a situation where it isnt able to use its natural ability to evade the 'hunter'. e.g. ferreting is a form of hunting, if the ferret kills the rabbit below ground then thats part of the hunt. Taking a ferreted rabbit then putting it in a box with a ferret to let the ferret kill it is baiting. What i was trying to say in my original post is that the quarry is still killed by the ferret/terrier (depending on the the quarry) but there is a massive differnce morally between a hunti -

Born Hunter replied to Pembshunter's topic in Ferrets & Ferreting
couldent agree more mate weather you dig/ ferret /shoot or fish we shouldent knock another mans sport .hunting is hunting and we should all stick together as one EXACTLY! theres a very fine line between baiting and digging, but a massive moral/ethical one. Its amazing how so many fellow hunters go ferreting or shooting and call terriermen all sorts. Ive met guns while out beating that openly voice how digging is cruel and terriermen are barbaric sickos and yet when a bird is pricked they couldnt give a shit about it if it takes any effort to find the bird. f*****g sickens me! -
few nice pike there, the other fish is a chub, about average stamp for a chub in most rivers. Ive got a pikeing trip planned before the seasons over with a few good mates, its the only fish i ever fish for, bit more exciting than reeling in silvers and im not keen on the current carping craze personally.

Aload of antis at nott's dog track on friday at the entrance protesting. Police were there to make sure everythig went down 'smoothly' lol. They cant do f**k all with hunting anymore, shooting seasons over, so they are getting itchy and want someone else to irritate. Oh and to top the night off, i picked the winner of every race i was there for except the one i had a bloody bet on, the dog came last by bowt 15 fukin lengths!
-
I just use a small game bag type bag for my nets and to carry the rabbits i use a seatbelt strap, just leg em onto it
-
That sounds spot on, prabably look into it nearer the time for the summer after we graduate, thanks. Fraggle, i think for the easter we might do that. ill have to make a trip up that way one weekend soonish with a mate and have a look around. Any body else got any suggestion, keep em coming
-
Im planning a camping trip over the easter period for a few of my mates from uni and had planned just to camp locally but suggested camping on the coast actually on the beach, they all loved the idea so now im kinda commited to sorting it out. Does any one know of any decent beaches you can camp on, preferably lincolnshire but any suggestions are welcome? Or even a good lake to camp by, somewhere we can go swimming, have a fire at night etc. Im not one to leave mess and the site is left as found, fire pits buried etc
-
its a terrible feeling watching them run into danger, the whole world goes silent as you wait helpless. But for a dog i cant imagine a much better way to go, in the heat of the chase, nothing but catching that fox on its mind, 110% comitment to the hunt, quick death. If im to die prematurely then i hope im so lucky. really sorry for your loss pal

If we are being really fussy the actual units are (ft lbs), not (ft/lbs) or (fps) etc and they are units of energy not pressure. Just to clear things up Fussy a$$ !!
-
I think some sort of register is a better idea, not a licence. Any one that buys an air rifle from a dealer has to register it and so does the dealer and whenever an airgun is sold second hand details passed on like with shotys and rifles. I know there will be alot of airguns under the raidar for a while but its better than nothing and lets face it the sort of idiots that ruin this sport arnt 'hard core' criminals, just fuckwits, so they dont aquire the airguns through non legitimate means, they buy one off of their mate down the street or more often than not go to their local airgun shop.

I think the big question youv'e got to ask yourself is why are there no hares there already? And when you know the answer, do something about it. No point sending hares onto land where they will be shot, heavily predated, poached or have poor diet etc etc......

Well i wont be doing jack shit, because im single.... but for those lads that arnt doing anything for their missus, remember 'steak n blowjob' day is in a month, so i should get your arse in gear fellas........

i use lamb castration rings, bought a pack from central wool growers

I understand your point, however....... pig hunting with dogs in that manor is the reality of big game hunting with dogs, its probably one of the oldest forms of hunting and a proper 'back to basics' natural form of hunting. Wild dogs do it the same way only they kill the beast themselves in a very gory manor. the hunter finishes the pig as humanley and fast as possible and a damn site more humanely than the pig would die if beeing hunted by a wild predator. i dont really know feck all about this form of hunting but i find it fascinating. i cant stand cruelty either pal, but theres cru
