  1. When a bullet exits any animal, it means that some of the energy of that bullet hasn't been used, or dumped, in that animal. An expanding bullet, as against a fmj which is not designed to expand, creates a bigger surface area as it expands, dumping more energy, and at the same time crushing and tearing body tissue and bones. This will generally result in greater shock to the animal, and more likelihood of death if the bullet doesn't hit the brain/heart/lung area.
  2. In terms of noise reduction you won't tell the difference, and the Utra is a one piece like the T8. It comes down to personal preference though and I prefer short and sleek, if you can call any of them that. If you do have a look at the Utra, check the thread because the one we had fitted was not interchangeable with the thread on another rifle for a wildcat. That might be though because it went on a new rifle we didn't stipulate what thread we wanted.
  3. In my experience the wildcat is ok and have used it along with the T8 and ASE utra northstar on .308/.243 and 22-250. The advantage with the ASE Utra, is the size, being so much smaller. ASE also make another model that extends away from the muzzle which is also small, and I think it is called the Tactical, but out of all of them the Utra is my favorite. Sorry I forgot to add, I think the only difference with the number on the wildcat is the length of the mod.
  4. He can blame who he wants, it was me, and I did it off my own bat
  5. If you have permission to be there you are ok. Just exercise common sense in which direction you shoot, i.e. not over it if people are walking along it. A public footpath is nothing more than private land, with an age old right of access.
  6. I actually dont think they abuse the law, because that implies intent. I am sure it just because they dont understand hunting and shooting law. Unconciously incompetent!
  7. Out with the dog this afternoon, when I heard these two softly calling each other, even though they were sat so close together. Unfortunatley I only had my video camera and this is a still from it hence the poor quality. Beautiful birds, but bloody murdering buggers.
  8. You know my views on it.........I dont call them, I never have, and I never will, unless it becomes law........which it wont! What I do on my land and on my permissions, is my business, providing it is within the law....end of The cops can come out as many times as they want, which so far is a big fat 0, in all the years I have been shooting, and this includes lamping which at times is near to habitations.
  9. Nice one sam, we use stone wall toppers to keep the tubes as a tube, even after we have dug the rabbits out of a stop end.
  10. Who do I sue .... Me being Strawberry Blond ? No such colour unless you're a girl................you must be ginger . He looks like your avatar. Lol lol lol

  12. The picture of the pat on the beach and the ones watching telly are belters
  13. I dont know what to say, but all our thoughts are with you and your children. Keep his membership open, you or your children may want to jump on every now and then. You are always welcome.
  14. :laugh: We're in Europe Wilf..........get used to stupid laws Seriously though....................I totally agree ........as a new mod though, I have to point out you should have used 2 * in the last word of your first post
  15. Anybody who ordered it, received it yet, I think it was available from the 1st October?
  16. Aye, not good, we havent had it here for years, but I have had a report of it not so far away.
  17. A lot of waiting around for the ferrets to come out, and I think that is why I still prefer jills to hobs, although they both have their place. Alot of squeeking and getting the smell of rabbit guts to blow through the warren to tempt them out. Occasional use of hob with a line. I never muzzled or snapped teeth. The finders are a great tool, but everythong else just used to be part of ferreting for me and I put up with it!
  18. nowhere near aslong as it use to, the last fox mask i had done was about 2 to 3 weeks Thats not bad!
  19. I've just seen the Kay Burley clip and personally I dont think it was that bad. The news was already common knowledge on the public domain and quite clearly most people that were there knew about it, and it was unfortunate, that Kay said to them "so you have heard the news". After that she quite clearly had to tell them, and I thought she did a reasonable job
  20. Well written...I was there with you through the whole thing
  21. My Patt keeps knicking onions that are in the shed, and chewing them to bits! I dont know though how much it actually eats.
  22. I doubt the fine will go away, and I would be guessing when I say that a note would be placed on pnc to obtain details of driver.
