  1. as a 17 year old heres 2 bits off free advice.. 1.. if you get a 10ft mark your needid your hole to be alot wider than that, 2.. try cleaning your dog up a little before you box it up again
  2. yesterday we managed a poor 60 odd , today was good we bagged 144, back to beating tomorrow for the rest of the lads..
  3. hmmmm 40 yards away from a golden with 2 lurchers and a terrier........ walking up hill towards it were it has the better veiwing point... believe me if you could see it, it could see you
  4. well we managed 143 for 444 , some shot better than others, i did well with my bosses wifes 28 bore bagging 15 pheashants, 4 part , a woodcock and a brace of rabbits, so im well happy,
  5. put a similar thread up last year, and got a shit response, but never mind.. im shootin wed , thurs at mine , friday shootin, and sat beating for a keepers day. il post a update as the days go by... who else is out for there long awaited turn on the peg???
  6. yes it would, there called lofters, usualy put them in a beech or oak (bare and big) which is amongst a fir wood, pigeons will land in this type of tree before dropping into the warmer trees to roost.... but yes buy a lofting pole and decoys and get going
  7. deker.. a nine with a tight enough choke will kill a woodie at that distance, may be not a idea shot size but it IS capable of doing it.. as for what your saying about sako post, i think you may have looked at it a little too deeply... a eg of what i think he was getting at... you can kill a stag with a 45 50 grain 22250 if the bullet placement is correct , (not saying its right to do so) but there aint always the need for a 100 plus grain 270 bullet
  8. yep il get the video off his camera on the week end and try putting it on, will prob be a you tube link
  9. chris me likes you aviator, very apt for a mod
  10. went out on the geese today, id been invited about 6 or 7 times over the last month or two but with shoots at home and beating / picking up else where i just couldnt manage to get away.. i arrived at 7 and met my good friend and host with a client he has with him for the week, we made sharp work of the hide and putting the pattern out, and by what i could see of the field the geese had hammered it, no wonder the farmers are crying out for us to keep them off the fields.. they started in skiens of nice managable sizes, 5 to 10 s , then as the morning wore on they besame larger and large
  11. if your seeing 30 in a night on 400 acres (there obviously will be more there that your not seeing) that to me is a un healthy number to have on that acreage...
  12. a good point deker... mine dont mention it but will be getting that changed.... but if a fox aint vermin what is it ???
  13. if i remember rightly you could be right, certainly rings a bell.
  14. yes always, only leave a shooting window at the front, from say from ten too two, thats presuming your killing area is at 12
  15. what conditions dictated a heart shot rather than a neck or head ?? just curious
  16. your hide quality??? or were they feeding on this particular field, if there is something they like on a park a mile away your losing a battle you cant win... they need to want to be on the particular one ur set up on
  17. good write up... never heard of that before, only thing i can think off is that he was attacking his shadow ?? but pritty sure there not that reflective to be able to see him self... none the less hes a good lookin beast
  18. any shell with the right chokes WILL kill a woodie up to 50 yards, wether it be a heavy 5 or light 9 ..to much it put upon the size, weight, etc of a cartrige but its all down to pointing your gun in the right place to start with....
  19. a little bit of everything you mentioned, bar price, as often in life you TEND to get what you pay for
  20. so how come it bottled it up for 4 hours or how ever long it was if the tubes are like that
  21. there was more midges inside that bothie than there was out side
  22. got to say if mine held it while i dug 2.8 then let it past when it knew i was close to breaking through id not be a happy chap...
  23. come on thats what happens every day in this game ,things get killed AND INJURED.wake up and smell the coffe . as a keeper, my pickers up on a driven day will send there dogs for runners / wounded birds but will not pick dead birds till the end of the drive, so if they did leave a one till the end there tits
