  1. For someone to be upset about a few replies to a thread but not about grave robbing ,& harassment of people going about there lawful work says it all ......
  2. I still don't think people without there own land shouldn't have a FAC ,where do you gain any experience ,I used to pay to stalk,pay to shoot at the range long before I had my own place .If the criteria to get an FAC is your own place half the people on this site would loose it ..is that fair ...?.and whatever gun you shoot foxes with its down to the guy pulling the trigger...its no different shooting them miles away with a rifle..if the guy shooting with a shotgun isn't capable of doing it properly giving him /her a rifle wont improve the situation . ps my kill ratio on foxes with a shotgun i
  3. So if you don't have deer permission you cant get a rifle ..That would have stopped me 30 years ago...I paid per day & had invites never had my own place for ten years.. The mentoring thing is not law it was made up by the chief constables ,if you have a .243 for foxes & you shoot deer that will get your ticket withdrawn same as if you shoot one with any calibre not allowed. Do you not want anyone to get a .243 for fox .Your given your fac on the basis you will abide by the conditions on it . If they thought you had to be checked on what you shoot chances are they wouldn't have given
  4. What laws would you like to see tightened Phill ? I cant think of any mate ...Give an inch ....There already bringing compulsory tests in by the back door , mentoring , where did that come from , give them more money to play with & there give you more agg for it .The police can never give value for money its run on the same lines as a council ,i.e its given public money ,any cock ups don't mean jack shite no one will be held to account ...When there's a short full its call on joe public to step up again ...The rise will come but I don't welcome it & I certainly don't welcome tighte
  5. When some one up the ladder says the price is going up no one will have a choice , all the consultations in the world wont matter a toss , its pay up or no ticket .I feel sorry for people struggling with home costs , kids etc it will be a big ask , £200 is a lump in one go for a lot of people.Would it be impossible to give people time to pay , perhaps over a year ..or is it another way to control gun ownership ..??...You can bet it will come at what amount remains to be seen ..
  6. +2 for the eastern Europeans(my mate recons its them as well)..We were fishing the Ebro in spain they killed every fish they caught, carp to 40lb ,big cats 100+ lb. no matter what size they all got the same treatment put on a stringer and kept till the fridge van came , killed , gone .When we asked the guide about it he said its legal , nothing you can do .He couldn't see a problem......... we could .!!.
  7. On a not quite so majestic note we now have the ravens back in my part of sussex , that is one big black bird.!!
  8. Lucky man ..well spotted .....was looking at the gold finches on the feeder early Friday morning (5ish)when there was a flash & a puff of feathers as the spar departed with breakfast ..precision killing ..
  9. The more interesting thread is whats your closest shot .....
  10. Wonder if it comes under the same law as an ordinary shop....trading standards may be a good call...hope you get it
  11. Is that the Chinese copy of the Honda ...?.
  12. Hutchey have a look down West Kent clay ground , you can have a go & see what you like ,got some good instructors over there who will put you on the right road .
  13. Good result ......another waste of taxpayers money well done plod.!!...not.....
  14. The .22 with subsonic ammo & a mod is just about as quite as it gets ,I did a local golf course for years & used nothing else , with houses actually on the course the .22 was the only option . Good luck with it
  15. I was clearing up by my greenhouse this morning ,picked up an old growbag & there was a nest under it , gently replaced it so they should be ok . Up to that point hardly seen any just the odd one in the barn . The old boy down our track keeps a couple of hives & he recons its going to be a bad year , although he recons every year is a disaster , ten minutes with him & you loose the will to live ..
  16. Bet the guy serving(or not serving) wasn't the man that's paying the bills ,rent, rates, wages ,electric etc etc ...!!
  17. Definitely a no on road kill deer or any other road kill come to that ..
  18. Get the best you can afford ..there is no substitute for quality Luke , if you can run to a second hand pair of Swarovski EL's you will never need to change them ...as you never mentioned your budget you may well be loaded in which case give it the full nine yards and get the new swaro / range finder bino's ...about £2k ...if you are wedged up get me a pair as well ...please ..good luck
  19. I have got (can get) a dead moggie if anyone wants a try ....let me know asap...its getting flatter by the minute so be quick .
  20. I know that place at Stonegate they do have a spectacular range of meat ....if it walks ,talks flies or cries its on the menu ...worth a look if your in the vicinity ..
