    My lad makes it sound close by as he goes there shopping and for nights out. Must be my imagination, I assumed it was quite near him. He's getting a log cabin for us when we visit, here...http://www.arowhonpines.ca/act.html Really looking forward to it.

    He's not mentioned anything about that, but then he's only been out there nigh on a year, so being an incomer he'll know nowt about it and it obviously hasn't affected where he's at (Hamilton). Maybe if he was there for years he would become familiar with the set-up? He had a nightmare getting sorted out with a visa, ditto his girlfriend. However, it would seem that doing things legally and above board and working for a living, counts for nothing, anywhere in the world. Erm, you're quite wrong there. If your lad is living near Toronto (where I come from originally) he'll know. They'

    That tosser Richard Madeley wasn't with him was he? He's got form with this sort of thing allegedly, even though he "got off" with it. Just amazed me how all those bottles of vodka and wine finished up below his trolley! They must have fell off a shelf.

    My lad and his girlfriend have been out there just over a year now and they love it. He's near Toronto. Mind you, he's got a cracking job and is enjoying every minute. He was home for christmas and returned last friday. The Canadians don't except anyone, they're a bit like the aussies in as much as they don't allow free loaders in...unlike here!! I do know that they're keen on folk having the right visas and some sort of trade. If you'd have asked last week, my lad could have told you more. I'm over there in September to visit. He did say that if he didn't have family over here, he'd stay, the

    Yep, the backfilling should have been done anyway and the fox disposed of but they shouldn't have been there without written permission and in doing so and leaving the place in such a mess, this has led to others being involved!

    Don't come on my patch in Cheshire like some twats did recently and leave a six foot hole unfilled and a fox dumped nearby!!! That won't be happenening again.

    I spray my T8 every time I use it with a touch of WD40 and leave it to stand for a day somewhere in the house. After that I store it in the ammo safe. My rifle's zeroed for use with the mod on and zero isn't affected when I come to use the mod again, which is what the question was I think.

    Ian, it's a great little rifle. I've a Ruger 77/22 and feel confident everytime I take it out. Furthest is like I've said, about -90 yds. It hit where I aimed. It's another string to the bow and helps to shift those charlies coming onto my patch a.fter dark

    I use a 40 grain home load and find they fly as flat as a witches tit out to -90 yds. Only ever flattened something out to that distance.

    Feck all's happening for at least 3 years. A report in the Telegraph tells us that the government will not be bothering raising the hunting issue for three years, if at all! There's not enough support to get the repeal through. The tories have enough on their hands trying to sort out the mess left by labour plus the financial situation and europe. Just keep doing what you're doing and watch your back.

    What the feck can I buy the old fella for chrissy fellas? He's 83 and very fit for his age but he has everything. He's a nightmare to buy for. I was thinking about getting him one of those Airfix models, like a boat, plane or vintage car etc as he used to like doing them in his younger days with us, but other than that....? No drinks, clothes, books, CDs or DVDs suggestions please. Thanks

    Look at Suarez's record before he went to Liverpool and since....Speaks for itself really. Dagleish was badly advised buying him. I wonder what the reaction would have been had it been a scouser being racially abused.

    A Johnny 7...No it wasn't a durex you could re-use several times but a plastic machine gun with seven different gadgets on it. I remember giving the old fella the full treatment when he got up in the afternoon that christmas day...He booted it over the feckin' telly!

    I was talking to our Master of Hounds this morning and asked what he'd got his wife for christmas...."A gate for the paddock" was his reply! He was serious. FFS!!

    I used a shotty a year or two ago when I was let down by a mate who didn't turn up, (rifleman). I was with a guy who had flown in from Sweden that day and wanted to take him lamping, so I ended up taking my 12 bore. Christ, we spotted a fox with its head down near the farm and managed to get real close before it started to move, it was eating a rat...too late, I whacked it from about 30 yds with a Hulmax BB. As always, distance is hard to judge at night.

    The antis are saying it's cruel to shoot badgers...Hang on, didn't the cun*s say when they were after banning hunting with hounds that shooting foxes was better than having them chased by hounds? Can't have it both ways yer scumbags!

    Smacks of that Gilmour kid the other week disrespecting the dead by swinging on the cenotaph..a well educated kid that got caught out. What drives me mad is the swearing. Call me a snob or a prude but it seems to be the norm these days to swear in public, or amongst family members. I hear parents talking to each other with kids in tow and the language is disgusting. My father would never swear in front of mother or my sisters, he was different in the pub amongst his mates but he respected women and kids. I'm the same, old school I'm afraid. There should be ZERO TOLERANCE!

    Very sad news reaches me that Owen Balding, Coniston Huntsman, lost his fight against cancer last evening. How sad, that after achieving his ambition to become a fell huntsman he barely saw out two seasons. He was in his late forties and leaves a partner and two young children. RIP Owen

    Was that taken in Brian Mays back garden?

    Feckin' hell Matt, take your terriers? The fell packs are struggling as it is with antis and do-gooders, you've got more chance of platting fog! As a visitor you'll be lucky to get a walk out as people are very suspicious. If you can get someone to vouch for you that might make things easier but don't hold your breath. PM me for more info.

    I use a Hornet. Great little gun, I can't fault it. It's got some power behind it and does what it says on the tin.

    The usual end result, some for and some against what the farmer did. One guy emailed to say that he'd shoot the farmer if he did that to his dog, while another said that the farmer wouldn't be on the radio today if he'd shot his dog! Typical rants from uneducated people. The dogs were "hunting type" according to the farmer, a lurcher cross and a russell cross beagle. I take responsability for my dog on land a go over, he learnt from an early age what not to chase. Farmer said that these dogs had chased his cattle before and he'd lost calfs. There was a sign in the field telling owners what mi

    For those in the north, Myerscough agricultural college in Preston run courses, and they're on my place of work some weeks doing these courses. I took my course in a forestry above Holmfirth in West Yorks and it was run by a decent fella called Tim Kirk.
