    I have been setting up my trailcam at various locations, trying to monitor routines and numbers of foxes, rabbits, pheasants etc. , very much hoping for some good shots in the process. Today when reviewing the past weeks footage I saw this and was totally shocked. The trailcam was tied to a stick and stuck in the ground where 3 fields adjoin and nearby a stream over the back of the house.

    Does anyone know what the physical marker is for where the free stretch of Broken Scar around to Blackwell ends and becomes Darlington Brown Trout water? I know it's 1100 feet from the bridge but is there a specific marker, there are old signposts and old fences around that look as though they could've been used.

    Was a bit late there... I was quite a way off like.

    Going off my logic I'd have said 17lb, again hard to tell accurately because it's a photo but slightly shorter than OP's photo I think. I'm intrigued to know the weight now, I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong. Ps. Cracking photo bobcullen

    I agree pike can be deceiving, I just go off a 1 metre pike is around 20lb (I think I read it in an old fishing book) and for me that's never been too far wrong. Obviously the girth of the fish is a factor also. I could easily be way off the mark with my estimate of length as it is a photo with no real way to work out accurately.
  11. S.Maclean
    Definitely 20lb+. Nice catch.

    Personally I don't like thumbholes. However, that's a beauty stock.

    I only ever hunt with springers. I prefer springers to pcp all day long, personally. If I were shooting for any kind of commercial reason I would use a pcp no questions but for recreational use it's Springer all day long for me. More fun, more skill and more sporting. Just my opinion.
  14. S.Maclean
    Just be sensible about it. What's more important is knowing when you have a pellet ready to shoot, because you never where it could be pointing when it goes off. If you couldn't leave it cocked no-one would hunt with it.

    Oh right, so it's not the location then because I didn't have much hope for you in that pond . Aye we'll arrange it sometime then, personally i'm like air gun ant and prefer to stalk them and drop my bait on top of them but I've sat in a bivvy before as well so it's up to you, I'll impart what knowledge I can. I owe you a trip out anyway, I did say I would.

    Read read read and if possible get someone with a wealth of experience to take you out. I learnt by reading... A lot, going out and giving it a bash and learning from my dad. If you stick at it and can handle many blank days you'll get there eventually. A good location helps as well, you can't catch a fish if there aren't any out there. You still fishing that old pond? I'm by no means an expert or anywhere close but I'll have a look out with you if you want Michael. Just pm me.

    Thanks for the replies. I might give this one a miss and try a gas ram out some other time as I was looking to put it into a lightning funnily enough.

    Thanks for the replies guys. He's going to give it a go. Honestly I don't think I would have the patience to but he does. He's just glad to know people have had some success.

    My reason for that is it was my great uncles gun and land. He died recently and I thought I would use the same gun he used to use. For some daft sentimental reason I suppose. Why wouldn't you consider it?

    It does sound a bit mad I know but after taking the p*ss out of him I thought, if you can train a deaf dog and you can train a dog to retrieve why can't you train a deaf dog to retrieve. It's just a young pup not even house trained yet so he's just deciding whether it's worth training to retrieve or just to train it. He's keeping the dog regardless of whether it will retrieve. He adopted the other deaf dog because the owner got frustrated with it. This one was the last of a litter and he couldn't leave it behind. It's just how things turned out that he has 2 deaf dogs.

    Hi, my mate has a deaf Springer spaniel he was planning on training to retrieve. Has anyone had any experience/success with this? He has house trained a deaf dog before and has a couple of retrievers already. Thanks Scott

    Cheers Mr tea pot. I'll put that into practice at the first opportunity.

    Hi, I have been offered a gas ram that has been removed from a rifle, the rifle has been used a few times a week for a few years in all weather conditions. The rifle has also been dismantled at least 4 times probably more. I have owned gas ram rifles but never for a great length of time so I was just wondering if anyone could estimate how much longer it would last. Thanks Scott

    Do you have any tips on how to decide which runs further into the field are being used by rabbits? I have had limited succes with snares that were further in-field.
