  1. Honda X11 mate, with a bit of 'tuning' About to change to triumph tiger, 1050 or 1215, not sure which til I ride em back to back
  2. No worries mate So about twice the cost of hmr rounds - seems good value to me Thanks all
  3. I reckon most superstitions are based in common sense- walking under ladders, black cats crossing your path (trip over th b*****ds in the dark) etc
  4. New ones on table bad luck, old shoes on table unhygienic! why duncan do you no clean your shoes or wipe them on the mat :tongue2: I wipe my shoes alright, but I still wouldnt eat my dinner off them!
  5. What's a minshaw anyway? Cross between a Mini and a Rickshaw?
  6. For 'dont want to get ripped off', read 'too tight' Good one Wilf
  7. New ones on table bad luck, old shoes on table unhygienic!
  8. Letting the wife near me wallet
  9. I wouldn't do treats (as in edibles) as the dog should do it because it wants to please you. Praise seems to work best, enthusiasm and a rub of the chest. Also retrieving then something edible may encourage dog to snack on the retrieved item by association. Rabbit skin covered tennis ball defo keeps interest!
  10. Bear x wolf Should I shoot fox with airgun/rimfire/hmr?
  11. 1. What's the best airgun calibre - .177 or .22? 2. Big Cats in the UK - fact or fiction? 3. Hares - wrong to shoot and are they for dogmen only (pre-ban of course or in Ireland) ? 4. I've been in the trouble with the law - will I stilll get FAC? 5. Lets see your Bull X, Collie X, DH X etc etc etc etc etc 6. Why do I miss with my shotgun? Any others?

  13. Just curious; what is anyone paying for a factory round that they are satisfied with, in terms of accuracy and performance? Cheers Duncan
  14. The pest control issue seems to have been missed by a certain ignoramous. How long would it take for lurchers to cull that many hares? Here's a thought too. Before I was into dogs, I was purely a shooter, no more or less. I had no intention of hunting with dogs back then but still opposed the ban in every way I could. Why? Because, united we stand. If we pick and choose which field sports we stand for, we risk losing our own hunting passion.
  15. If sticking strictly to 15-25 yards, believe it or not, a Crosman Ratcatcher with a half decent scope works a treat and is very accurate. I've killed 100's cleanly around farms with my humble Ratty. Great lil gun You can save up over time for something for longer range shooting as you develop experience at shooting and then hunting.

  16. Good luck with that!!!!! Too right Lab, what goes around comes around.
  17. Lurcher man by any chance? Talking shite either way
  18. Was thinking the same, what can you do apart from re-affirm training and praise up good performance (wouldn't do treats though).
  19. Nice looking pup - you're right, he looks very earnest
  20. Shouldn't be shitting all the time. How often is it being fed and does it have access to food at other times? I think the answer is routine - chuck it out first thing when you get up and when the pup wakes do the same. Clear up any shit and piss as soon as possible, using good cleaning solutions, removing any scent of the fouling which should help discourage repeating. Don't scold the pup, but grumble like you aren't very happy about it (probably do that anyway lol!) and it will get the message. Pups eat shit as a matter of course - part curiousity, part boredom. Its just a thing the
  21. That figures - how many slip leads have you got thru in that time?
  22. Has the stalker gone quiet Paulus? Just as well - his last few posts were nonsensical, borderline defamatory.
