    ill be using it for fox only . have 350 phesants out in a wood to which foxes are using as there takeaway. mate has a 22l/r and using high velocity rounds which the local foxes seem to know the range off her. and off course the local lampers have everything lamp shy out 2 130 yards. so after long think and phoning about i came across the .204 ruger i think its a varmint (slips away to get changed over). it came complete with scope 8-32x50cls sound moderator and bipod and its only 8 months old synithetic stock and stainless barrels for under £800 and the shop stocks the bullets so i got it wat

    too many city folk living in country don,t know our way off life hear a shot and think there under attack. a quick call to cops does no harm to tell them the area ur in is all they need to know.
  7. upperlane2
    try red or ordinary lamp asa soon as u see eyes knock off give a call give a very quick lamp if coming keep calling and flash again the secret is to not put lamp on untill ready 2 shoot just quick flashes with lamp

    tell us this i might be stupid or something but if the keepers dogs have ftch's in the breeding who did they buy there first springers off ??????? the trial men. so wat u are getting are trialing dogs that dont thial just beat in the shoots. so the way i pick my springers is buy the best breeding u can afford if u view the parents and like the way they work the pups usually arent far off them. as for lasting all day the older more experienced the dog gets the longer it will last. u would'nt expect a year old dog to work all day ull destroy it so happy training and dont expect 2 much 2 soon

    we use the old tap the roof twice one or flash the lamp twice works for us but thought of getting a small light in jeep with a button and when u see something hit button and driver will know.dont like making any noise even whispering yes the tap method works,but i think the intercom would be better for when the landy in moving and a bit of whispering would'nt be heared over the sound of the engine,and with the gun being at a better vantage to spot ruts and such. atb paul must invest in one to try it

    back to the tennis ball or dummie for that dog lad dont take her out untill shes 100% on recall again they will be plenty off time for lamping. did u try walking away and not taking her on it works on some dogs .

    shooting a fox in the back end running away ur only asking for trouble been shooting foxes iout off cover for years first thing we tell newcomers if not side on don't shoot the many foxes that get away with a away shot or head on shot would suprise u. put it down to experience but u should go back with a terrier or lurcher and have a look for it just in case. atb for restof season and geturself a dog used to gun its worth its weight in gold for ur situation.

    i know u hit it but why chance shot at that distance could u not call it in a bit so u know u will kill it cleanly instead off wondering if u hit it or not.do we not owe it 2 our quarry if were going 2 shoot them make sure and not let them suffer with a injury. to many people trying 2 blacken our names . this one works for me if there's any doubt at all distance or quarry leave it for another nite and u won't go wrong all the best for the rest of season

    You would have bought it from me on ebay and you would have paid around £20 for it. I produced it in 2004 its called red fox calls and it cost £2 plus delivery i think i might still have it its a double cd i think if thats any help to u mate Post a picture of it on here to let us all see, we can judge for ourselfs if its the same one.... dont know why you would need 2 c.ds its less than mins long it has a fox lying inthe grass on front off it it does look the same cd with red fox calls on it
