You are very talented mate, well done really like that, very much,
-
Superb good outcome,

Try and get him pointing, it sounds like hes not, and just going straight into pursuit, they are hard dogs bloody fast thinkers you have to lift your game to match, learn his body language and try to be one step in front of what he is thinking, get a pigeon in a wire cage and long line him up to it on the wind,when he gets close you should see his near side ear flicking, as he starts to look back at you to back him up, he should start to stiffen up,the very start of a point, with your flat hand run it from his ears right down his back,and quietly praise him, if you do this right he will start

was gonna post the same thing . I seen that tactic posted years ago online and saved it to my bookmarks for future reference . This is what i seen Another good way is to walk home with your boots off, stocking feet lay a good line of scent back,if ever we had a dog hunt off in a wood and were unable to locate it, the dog would hunt back to you,the old man swore by it,
-
Ant, try and get some familiar scent out, a old jacket maybe, or a pair of socks, some thing she associates with home / security her bed blanket, up wind from where she was last seen, that type of dog would pick the scent up miles away, the area is strange to her, once the panic has subsided, she will go back to using her nose,

22 Hornet Bullet Seating Depth
3175darren replied to 3175darren's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
Cheers cc I have the foxes around at the moment, I have just never set a bullet so far back,so was interested to see what the thoughts were, my mate has to do it with one of his rifles, with the v max bullets, and as it seems, its common practice with some rounds so I am less concerned than I was cheers, -
I have started to reload for my 22 hornet, and have gone to the 40 grn vmax bullet, whats bothering me is the bullet seating depth,I could not get a modified case, so had to order one, any way thought I would do it the old way and candle the bullet in to the lands,soon realizing that that wouldn't work as the vmax bullets have the polymer tip, which made the round far too big for the clip, so decided to load to max allowed clip length, I did try a three shot group last night, And was pleased with it, then it started to dawn on me the bullets would be a fair way off the lands, and as s

He's a gob shite, with what seem's to be a a must have dog cos there's that much work for them, they should be compulsory before anyone is allowed to go stalking blood dog, sorry for the sarcasm, he wants prosecuting for cruelty, dick head doesn't come close to his description, even if he was winding you up,guy wants out casting,shouldn't be carring a rifle if that's how he operates, like the huntsman that turned anti and went to the press, describing his own actions as though it was normal,who received the right response from members on here,rant over

Leave a little loose soil in the run bottom,and sit the ring onto it, make sure the trap fits firmly in the hole, so it wont wobble as such when the mole tries to shove through, on the ring there's two bent lugs either side of it,adjust these with pliers till you get the trap as sensitive as you can, yet so it will not fire on its own, yet go on light touch, the other thing I find is the trap legs are some times too long on the trap, sit the trap on a table top set and make sure there's minimum travel room under the trigger ring,I have had to shorten these in the past,as for a trap, Tunnel an

lovely looking animal well done,
-
There is one in camouflage shown down the side but its a fiver and im a yorkshire man.I am Yorkshire man too mate,that's why I will get one from aldi,
-
Bloody otters will kill anything, they can cause no end if damage, and there population is exploding at the moment,
-
Handy things, just puts a nice glow onto floor, not too bright, you can get them with red, light as well, a company was doing them in camouflage, not too dear either, my mate had one couple of yr ago,
-
Save the walnut husks for dyeing traps/ snares,
-
chuff me, that's nearly deep enough for winding gear, he would never throw clear of that, good arm length on the machine,
-
I agree with whats said above,and I see my dogs as valuable family members, gnash is right in the eyes of the law they are just property, but there in lies a problem, if some one stole any other property, they would treat it as theft, and at least investigate it, or be seen to be investigating it,Theft is a criminal offence, which under English law can carry a sentence of 5 yrs, on the first offence, but does it ever, Does anyone caught stealing dogs ever end up inside, there in lies the problem, the police probably think the dogs done a wonder off / walk about, so do not take the report serio

compere the price to a premiership football match that costs twice as much and lasts what a couple of hours? now at the CLA you can get in for 8am and leave at 8pm and you'll be lucky to have seen all whats there,best suggestion is choose what you really want to see and watch and then look round the stallsY.I.S Leeview I know what you mean about football, in my opinion that's over priced as well, there was a time when gun makers row, took a day to see, fishermans row was the same, and the third day was for everything else,
-
its funny if you work out 60.000 people at £35 each, which I know that's not the entire case, as a lot will be kids and such, but on my calc it comes to £2.100,000 on the gate, that has the potential of being one day, provided all pay adult entrance fee's, and that's not taking into account the camping and stand fee's charged to the exhibitor's,plus water and electric, so whats the entire amount over three days???its time they stopped monopolizing the thing, and offered it out to other venues, I know there's costs to run it, but bloody hell, not that much its, robbery,
-
if that's the entrance fee the stand prices will be worse, traders need to make a living, so don't think they will be many bargains, unlike the old fairs, when you could really get a good deal,
-
No, told ticket price extortionate,
-
There's certainly plenty starting to show, thank god they haven't screwed the silage up for me though, got away with it this yr again,
-
Enjoyed that,challenging area to shoot in.

They are ok, but not as handy as home made ones with the elastic around if I am honest, you cant open them as quick in my opinion, as you have to swing the third leg out sometimes, very good gun support, but my problem is when I stalk, I like to use my sticks as a walking stick almost, I use them for loads of different stuff like I cross a small river and wade with them, [or feel my way across the river ] the primos trigger you are instructed not to use them to walk with, and you need to keep them clean so they operate smoothly, so I just take the home made ones again, unless I am waiting for

Bonny things but destructive, its a good thing if the food chain can support them, every one seems to want to introduce predators, but in Cumbria the rabbit population is up and down like a brides nighty,the food chain bottom is fickle to say the least,and some of there lost species should be introduced first,to at least give things a chance,when one or another species takes a dive through disease, ie mixy, buzzards are every where, otters are doubling in numbers it seems like every year, badgers are eating out the ground nesting birds, digging up the bumble bees, and young rabbits, I know the

Should have still be able to shoot it, under the guise of protecting your live stock,????
