  1. Just wondering if anyone has heard of Auchmacoy Estate north of Aberdeen, Wondered how good it was for driven pheasants???
  2. Use a weatherby vanguard in a 243 for foxes and deer, wildcat mod and a leupold 3 - 9 x 50 scope, although thinking off getting 22-250
  3. Where is the shoot taking place? is it in perthshire? From there originally and use to keeper down there.
  4. Mates use eley vip for 20 bore, fast cartridge, mate said they where 1400 fps
  5. I stop using norma for 243 cause the prices where just getting silly, 1 place was selling box of 20 bullets in norma at £32 a box and another place where selling them at £39.50, so changed to winchester and get them at £23 a box, although had been selling alot of think it was serbian ammo at £12 a box of 20. Mate uses 22-250 and he gets norma at £22 a box of 20. Just prices are all up and down, when first got bullets they where £17 a box for norma in 243 and that was 8 years ago
  6. Yeah sure is, was out shooting yesterday and saw at least 3 sets of pairs in the snow, managed to bolt a fox out den without terrier, was standing on top and next out bolted the fox, starlight number 6 did the job
  7. Another 1 off the list, was out twice this week, got a dog fox monday night saw 5, then got another dog fox wednesday night and saw 8.
  8. 5op a brace , was paying £1.50 a woodcock before ban came in.
  9. Cheers for that snap. Am I right in saying it doesn't affect the beast and game dealers still take them?
  10. Yeah area where they where shot is a wet area, rashes and wet boggy ground
  11. Has anyone else had many roe this year with liver fluke, that's the 3rd one up here to have it. Also is there any salt blocks or anything that you can put out to help it?
  12. O/u rizzini for game and walk up and browning 525 for clays, got aya s/s but never use it, 26" barrells
  13. Had our shoot sat past there and must have seen about 40 - 50 woodcock, 7 where shot
  14. Okay cheers for that, have been looking on a few sites, been offered a rem 700 with rings, only thing its a wooden stock, but may go and have a look at it.
  15. Looking for a 22 - 250, be 2nd hand, what should look out for and what should I avoid? Any info would be helpful
  16. Another 1 less, got nice markings on it.
  17. Couldn't believe it myself or the lad that was with me, sheep weren't even bothered about it. There's still plenty to get, hopefully weather will improve before end off week. Still trying to get pic up off dog fox.
  18. Had a last minute thought, so decided to have a run out with the light last night. Fine night for it and was fine and clear. Just left the house and 2 mins later picked up a fox, this is the same 1 seen 3 times now as he has a big chunk of white on end of his tail. Never got a chance at him so carried on up road and spotted another that was curled up in amongst the sheep having a sleep. But the sheep decided to run and that buggered up the chance to get him. Decided to head back down the road and my mate picked another fox up standing broad side on at top of bank, got myself sorted and opened
  19. Big looking fox, you seen any paired up yet? Mate shot a pair this morning while out stalking.
  20. Thats amazing they never asked for any I.D for getting your rifle back. Think it depends what part of country your from, I found them up here to be pretty good, FAO is fairly clued up and knows his stuff and never had any problems with them, then other areas they just make up rules to suit themselves. I know a lad down south who could only shoot deer from a high seat, no where else but from a high seat only and that was down on his firearms ticket.
  21. Had 5 couple of weeks ago and then a 3 just last saturday, plenty about and good weights too, certainly around here anyway
  22. I got stopped 1 night out lamping, was just myself and the police came up road, 3 policemen in the car, asked what was doing and said just out at lamping for foxes. Asked them if they wanted to see my FAC and they did then they check the rifle with the ticket and where happy enough and chatty. Was just let on my way with no problems.
  23. What part of Aberdeenshire are you coming too?
  24. Whats the best boots on market at moment? Saw a pair of laksen boots for £140, has anyone had these and if so what are they like?
