[Have land, have nets, have rifle, have dog, but the wife wont allow ferrets]

It took me five years of whining to get a terrier, and now she loves it.

 

The problem is were expecting a baby, and I think its all a bit much at the moment. I have only been going on for 6 months, and I reccon another 6 months or so she will give in.

 

We went to see a ferreting expo by Simon Pakefeild and he was tucking them under his arms, and holding them between his thighs, she was amazed they wernt attacking him. lol.

 

She has said I can have some when we get a small holding, but realisticaly I think thats about 5+ years away, and I dont want to wait.

 

I will just keep nagging at her until she lets me have them. Hopefuly it wont be too long. Until then I just need to find some local guys to go and play with.

Found it! AGW Aug 08 - Darstardly Dieseling.

 

The national firearms centre is a government sponsored agency that conducts forensic work on firearms for the police, mod, home office etc.

It is situated in a bunker under the royal armouries museum in Leeds. Their chrono measures over 3 sensors and it can measure the power of a projectile as it travels down range, not just on leaving the barrel.

I had a rifle taken for power testing a few years ago now. It took around six - eight weeks to come back. It came back in the same condition as it went in, but it was dry.

They send them to a testing unit in Leeds (I remember it was in Air Gunner or Air Gun World, the police diddnt tell me where it went). Its the only place in the UK the police use (apparently). Out of interest did they note what pellets you were using/ take a sample to correctly chrono it? It could easily be pushed over if they use a different weight/ style. Although as its not run in its doubtfull, but you may have a loop hole if it clocks it.

I will try and see if I can find the article in AGW

[Have land, have nets, have rifle, have dog, but the wife wont allow ferrets]

Ive got a couple of permissions for shooting in Harrogate and Knaresborough, with permission to use ferrets on the land aswel, but the wife wont let me have ferrets.

 

So the offers out for someone to have a great couple of days ferreting (with shooting after if you like) if they want to let me come and play. I have done lots of ferreting in the past (although 10 years ago now) so Im not a complete novice. I dont even mind the quantity at the end (although I know there are quite a few in the warrens still), its more about the enjoyment of the sport.

 

Alternitively Im willing to join anyone on a day out localy as a helper. I have transport and would be willing to act as a taxi (sharing fuel cost).

 

Theres only one little catch.... I work in retail so my days off are mostly mid week, but with notice I can book off weekends.

 

 

 

I wouldnt go behind anyones back to get new land rights, and I dont expect anyone to do the same to me.
