Some good sized bags & rabbits there lads .

Its been many years since I owned a center fire larger than my pair of .223 but I was in the market for a rifle I could some red deer with .One evening I was surfing the net carefull checking all the for sale wed pages in my part of the world(NZ) when I spotted a older 7x 57.This rifle was what is termed here, as a "buy back" from the Bor war in South Africa 1896,that makes this rifle 130 years old .To be fair there's not much of the original rifle left ,at some point in the 1960s it belonged to an hunting book author who re-barreled the firearm with a Douglas barrel ,replaced the trigger ass

I have a tester I carry to tell me if the fence is active, as most are used during the winter. I will go and switch it off at the unit while I'm there and turn it on when I go to leave.Dog's hate the damn things, and it's fair to say once one gets a hit it effects the lot of the pack , none will do much work so if I'm unable to get the fence switched off, I will just go and find another place to hunt for the day.

I now only come on site every few weeks ,and when I read the heading I at first thought some bugger is messing about but sadly this isn't the case. Even from half way around the other side of the world Phil's words carried value & I'm really gutted to hear of his passing ,his kind wont be seen again , the running dog world is now poorer for his passing RIP Phil. He will be remembered.

Now that's better than the cash Arry, all day long right there.AtB with it . Cheers TB

You got to do what you need to do, or the landowner moves onto somebody else. They then sort the problem out, and you end up missing out on the sport and the cash.

I have all the details worked out , I wish to have happen upon my death, because you never know when, with most of the world's people kicking off before the age of 60 if you are passed that point you are in bonus time. If you knew me, you would know I've gone at life at 100 miles an hour with no let up. I don't intend to slow down now, and I've cheated death a number of times, and this has driven my life along at break neck speed. I got lucky, mates pointing out, you have had 9 cat lives, you most of used up most by now my reply was and is, "oh I've got a couple left yet, but you can't outrun

My life of chasing the coney has drawn to a close. I am aware my time has come and gone. A new chap has been employed to cover the area I've worked for the last 26 years. To be truthful, this has proved much harder than I first thought. I feel a sense of great sadness, all that remains is to wind down the pack, some have already gone, gifted to the new fella to make his start easier, and sell up while the market is good. I know it's the right thing to do, I will spend the next month showing the new fella Mark all the hot spots. Sadly, I won't keep another ferret nor dog, that is going to be th

it sounds a bit sad really,sport gone .

I hate to be the bearer of sad tidings but RCD will have put paid to your rabbits, unlike mixiy it remains waiting up to a year for the host to return.It is spread by the wind or flies landing on a dead body then flying onto a dung heap, it's deadly even when small pockets increase and have us thinking yes oh yes ,they silently disappear. However given time they can rebuild and become uneffected and breed a % of others that are also uneffected, sadly this process can take a decade or more.

As I enjoy my own company, I must be an anti A hole, but I don't care. When I'm out by myself, there's nobody in my flaming way , no endless talking about Jackshit, no calling the dog over their way and no yelling out there's one above ground over here. I don't need anyone else, I'm happy in my own company, until a row breaks out .

They have banned greyhound racing in New Zealand about a month ago and put in place measures that stops the dogs being put down. There is about 4,000 greyhounds that require homes ,last year they rehomed 140 odd. The Government will pay a % of their feed bill. They flew 12 to the states as there is a shortage of dogs needing rehoming so 12 greyhounds took to the skies at god knows what cost ,just goes to show how deep the madness goes.

Lovely Bitch that one ,remember the champ dogs all started somewhere, a journey starts with one step.

I'm looking for a bolthole, a place without this overwhelming control along with drowning levels of B/s. This coming generation doesn't miss and value what they have never had /lived or known. Their world is right now and normal, sitting down in front of the telly and watching bombs and rockets raining down on homes, churches cafés where the whole buildings disappear in a cloud of dust, smoke and fire, families wiped out, soldiers hunted down by done's forcing anyone that wants to live to hide down under ground like a troop of rats, and no one appears to care ,more important is making sure no
