  1. Been watching a pair near me feeding their young...the noise gives them away.
  2. That is a deal. Spotted some guys around the foot of the Mourns last year when we were over with Lurchers. I nearly stopped the car and asked if I could walk out with them. I love the place.
  3. I got an open ticket for my Hornet because the FEO realised that I needed to control foxes on smaller patches of land that were not passed for anything bigger than a .22 rimfire. I explained this to her and she agreed I needed something for the charlies. I also get to use my rifles through my job every now and then, so the Hornet comes in useful there too. I've a closed ticket for my .223 to use on specified land, when I decide to get one.
  4. Downpatrick fella and they rent out a cottage. We go over in the autumn and stay around the Strangford area. Spent a lot of my childhood around there, happy days indeed.
  5. They're "going home" as they say, visiting family, to be sure. The troubles won't bother them. The visit's a yearly thing and they ain't getting any younger! Thanks for the responses fellas...I was right, there's some reet clever c**ts on here.
  6. Ferries no problem, they just want to cut their travelling time down from 8 hours to half an hour! The old man has a drivers license, the old dear nowt! I suppose we'll check with the airline .
  7. I thought I'd ask on here first as there seems to be some clever c*$ts about....My old folks would like to fly to Belfast airport from the mainland, but they don't have a passport. Is it possible to still be able to fly over to Belfast without one and if so, what photographic evidence, if any, would they need? Don't guess a reply, just facts please or I'll tell my dad.
  8. I went to a presentation given by Ray Mears recently in Keswick. It was a very good, informative evening and well worth the visit. I even got to ask him a question. He's a decent guy. He's married and yes, he's feckin' hugh...belly wise! Preference? Who gives a f**k?
  9. Yep, that defo is NOT a robins, and hasn't even been made by a bird. Someones taking the piss fella. Like turtlehead says, it looks like a pile of straw has been placed there.
  10. I've a Ruger .22 Hornet and that does what it says on the tin, very nice rifle. It does me fine.
  11. I'll go along with most of what's been said, it was a sucking-up-to-the-gullible- british-public statement, BUT I've a little time for Packham. He supports the BTO, a much better, more scientific organisation than the Arse P B. He's not as unrealistic as the others on the show, but I'm afraid he's pampering to the masses here.
  12. Yep ,, just down the road , i used to hunt the Hamilton hounds , Look me up closer the time Doh, I think we've discussed this a while ago on Liams....I'll be in touch nearer the time.
  13. Some good advice there lads. I have a CZ and can't fault it. I've a Parker Hale mod on the end of it and it does me just fine. I use Remington sub-sonics, and at around £5 for 100, they're cheap enough for me. Great little round and they stop rabbits in their tracks.
  14. Cracking photos there Coyotehunter. I'm over in Cananda around this time next year, staying near Hamilton for a fortnight, are you anywhere near?
  15. Yep, I'd agree with Jim. The area around the kidneys/liver is very susceptable to disease, probably cyst, parasite etc.
  16. I had all six at one time and they took some room up on the wall. I've just got the Lunesdale print now, hanging in the hall, as it's my favourite. It costs about £40 or more to get a decent frame on them, so I suppose the price isn't too bad. Lovely prints.
  17. A mate, who's also a FAD, loads .22 Hornet rounds for me and enters them on my certificate as "Given".
  18. Poacher I'd say thast this is lively, good banter, most meant as trying to be helpful, I wouldn't worry too much fella. Try and hit the fox in the napper next time though.
  19. That's how it should be done, mop the lot up. What round were you using Poacher?
  20. It could be a Marsh Orchid Fragle. Get yourself a second hand book on wild flowers, they're cheap enough. I always carry one when I'm in work, makes the day a little bit more interesting.
  21. I can't seem to find anything on here when I do a search for the Accu Cover aiming device, so if this has been covered before, apologies. Has anyone tried this device and if so what are your opinions?
  22. you might find it sad mate but a sadder photo would be a release pen those two had got into or when they squeezed under the electric fence on a free range chicken farm and got to the sheds when theyre a couple of months older makes no difference to me what age they are on the shoots/farms we do the foxing on, if we find a litter, after we get the adults, a fox is a fox, they all grow into the same thing so the cubs will be dealt with. not always a pleasant job but its vermin control after all. i dont suppose anybody would say a thing if the lad had shot a bagful of branching rooks
  23. I'd say wait a while before you take the plunge fella, your bodies still growing and will do until you're around 19-20 years old. Hopefully then the urge to have such a major tattoo job will have gone. I did my own many years ago and it's the worst thing I did. Beckham and the many other footballers and popstars like Robbie Williams etc are mainly responsable for what we see today, home and abroad, male AND female brits covered in pretty patterns that mean feck all and it's for life. You could do yourself a favour and hold back...you'll be glad you did.
  24. I think these do them. Jackson Rifles Parton, Castle Douglas, Scotland DG7 3NL Tel: (01644) 470223
