  1. I just received , 10 I bought as a taster I must say initial impressions are good , well made with good spring strength , I will get them in the ground next day or so and see how they fair, I might need to buy another 100 or so I hope they do well .
  2. They are almost impossible to get hold of , going to have to buy loaded rounds soon .
  3. I would say most are imported , there’s very few in uk manufacture them now , it’s a shame to say, that but it is a common thing around the world now, quality from china is poor , saying that there’s an odd make which will give you reasonable life span , but most are woefully under powered , and badly galvanised .
  4. I still have a couple of the old ones before they were all stainless , they are good ,
  5. Look here Wildlife Health - Diseases To report sick or dead wildlife, call your local ODFW office or the Wildlife Health Lab toll free number (866-968-2600) Adenovirus Hemorrhagic Disease of Deer Adenoviruses belong to a small group of viruses that can infect a wide variety of animals, both wild and domestic. The AHD virus of deer was first identified in California in1994. Infected deer can have clinical signs common to other diseases such as bluetongue or pneumonia. Chronic symptoms include ulcers and abscesses in the mouth and throat. Acute symptoms include rapid or open
  6. Are they suffering sever weight loss ? Waisting away ?
  7. I think I will give them a try , at least sample a few of each , I have a lot of traps anyway, but it’s good to try other makes , as said flat pack are expensive but have been very good for me, so have pest stop, I have a lot more farms to do this year , so will need to increase my stock at some point, and I think if the soil temp comes up the grass will bolt up , but the ground is bloody wet at the minute .
  8. Yes and the round wires I wonder who supplies them , it looks like a good supplier , always tried to find a supplier for the bethel Rhodes traps , but failed ,
  9. They look fair priced for there traps I will give you that
  10. I have used the putange , I have some set now , but they are not my thing, very good for setting where the public are , a good cheap trap to try is the pest stop tunnel trap , I know some pull there nose at em , they are cheap but they catch very well, or do for me , I will say though the flat pack last a long time,
  11. I did once see some advertised , but never bought any, I use mainly flat pack traps, the stainless ones are good for the acidic soils around here, how much were they ? Who stocks them ,
  12. Thanks for that much appreciated, at least I know more now of what to look for , it still doesn’t help though that I cannot find any one who actually want the work,
  13. Well you maybe right I have had them turn up and look around, Then that’s it never hear from them again, spoke to a guy from Scotland he said he would have done it ,but he couldn’t get it signed off for English regulations.
  14. Does anyone know why decent elections are hard to come by, I want to rewire my house this next year or so and finding an electrician to do it is not easy at all .
  15. Well I am using the Barnes bullets in my prohunter 6.5x55 and have done since my last post on here, I will say they have dropped everything I have fired at up to now, I will say some do not know they are hit, and run on definitely more than with lead bullets , however they do fall, I did hear alsorts of things about lead free at the start when I was researching them, like you had to scrub your barrel , to remove all the lead round residue, or you won’t get accuracy, I have to say this has proved false , and I do get reasonable accuracy, out to 200yds, but not tried out to 300 yet , I ha
  16. Lovely calibre, my go to gun, and as said previously 200 yd is very doable with the right ammo, i hope you enjoy shooting it looking forward to reading the update when you have tried it.
  17. Look I agree, I am not happy about using it either , but we are being forced that way, same as we were with DSC1 and 2 , which still are not compulsory on private ground , as regards the barrels , not sure on that as it isn’t normally the lead rubbing up the rifling anyway , it’s the jacket , I have stalked since the mid 80’s and don’t like being forced down a particular path , but as sure as eggs are eggs , we will be with lead,
  18. I looked into it for my 6.5x55 and as yet I have not sorted it, the info I have been told is fast twist and lighter bullet , my normal round is 140 grain , the gun is 1 in 7/1/2 ish , apparently the rounds being longer the only issue , is loading for the magazine ie to fit it , I am going to try 120 grain and 130 , not sure on how they will drop reds, but going to give them a go next season, as for 308 it seems we are both not the same boat try it and see .
  19. Has anyone got any load data for lead free bullets in 6.5x55
  20. That’s all we can do is try them as it seems they are here to stay,
  21. I have a 6.5x55 se and I am just starting to look at lead free , to be honest it’s a real step into the unknown , people say they are alright no difference in stopping power , I am somewhat sceptical ,
  22. Good man , there’s loads of pinks flying about up here now and a few greys, looking forward to it this yr ,
  23. Connected last night on evening flight , came into a shallow pond,
  24. Really good calibre 270 tried and tested, a lot better behaved with a mod fitted, I enjoyed the one I had ,
