    You have said it your self she is still young & most of all by the sounds of it not trained her to hunt. So she will not know what you expect of her & retrieving is more natural for the dog to do than hunt & needs to be taught to her & takes time not 1 or 2 trips hunting. I have 3 labs & a litter at the moment & all mine hunt aswell as a spaniel when game is there so they can do it.

    Cheers for that & i see they would like an Acc-witness as a referee & unfortunitly my friend passed away to cancer a few years ago & havent worked with others. I have mates with DSC1&2 i could use.

    Im another for not sawing in the field & save till home but i carry a gerber folding saw with fine & coarse blade for clearing tracks etc with coarse blade & fine blade is good for deer. I hate to see deer split with knife & cant condone it to rough for me as foxhunter can tell you i have a high standard on carcase prep as it not hard when taught right.

    I have 1&2 have done for years & done 2 or 3 portfolio's for people for ther level2. I have tryed/asked about becomming an Acc-witness but struggle to open that door. When i did my level2 i ended up teaching my Acc-witness stuff & he asked me to go for it as he did all 3 of my stalks & said i would make a great Acc-witness for the system.

    A 270 is a bad choice i hate them personally & a 243 would be the caliber if you want it for deer to with a fast factory load choice from 58g bullets to 100g stuff.
  8. v-max
    I normally use 100g & less as thats what i have found to be best for accuracy. I have just played with the 117g hornaday sst with H4831sc at 52g load & cci primmer un-crimped with about 1" group. For 115g bullets i had good results with N160 at 47.7g & Reloader22 with 54.5g load & the 115g nosler with combined technolagie were very good but expensive. For the 100g bullets N160 at 53g & Reloader22 at 55g gave .3 to .6 groups & i work a tikka 695 with t8 mod. The speer 87g TNT are very good & so are the 75g v-max for the lighter varmint loads 7 the TNT were good on ro

    Im not going to comment on range as i have been bad too if im honest & lost 1 deer in all my time. What i dont understand is the need for an axe if its in a field or was there under growth at a gate to cut??. You use knife's & saw's on deer & the gerber folding saw is a very good portable field saw if you need to use one but the pluck can be removed while leaving the ribs uncut till you get home & the pelvic area too so no axe's.

    Nice to hear you have plenty its the same up here but not on me & im now felling the pinch with loosing 400acre of prime stalking on my door step fae march last year due to farmmer selling up. Im seeing loads about & am quite busy with foxes at lambs but had a stalk & got into a clean buck & a button buck in a group of 9 & never got a chance at them this morning. Thinking of having ago tomorrow morning seen a group of 11 to go at.

    Sorry no pic of set up to embarist. I live in a wee flat so my loading is done in my shed its an RCBS rockchucker press & iv loaded for 13-14yrs & basically throw my ammo together now with a lee powder thrower & lee deluxe dies etc.

    Hi im not that well up on cockers as in the show type & i have people at me who own & work ESS dogs. The sons bought there mum a cocker & it is a show cocker but looks like a working cocker other than the head shape & dose seem to be quite a worker from what i saw of her. I have a working black cocker dog with 41 FTCH in 5 gen pedigree & they wish to use my dog but im unsure on mixing the show with working. Im not taking a pup & my dog is eye tested & i have told them to get there bitch done too & a glacoma test. Is ther any thing to look out for or should they

    Well done to you but im surprized niether had a roe sack they make life easy. He dose look old But dosent seem to have the sloped cornets that you find & i cant say out on his pedicles from the pic. Quite often old,old bucks just grow thick lower antler to just be a tall spiker with poor tine growth. From your pic its so hard to tell the age of your buck but i would guess at 7-10yrs & you can cut the back teeth & count the rings like a tree.

    I saw this in the shooting times & as you say its not looking good 5yrs fae now but im sure there might be some non-toxic developments like the non-toxic shot for wildfowel but at a cost as non-toxic is expensive so time will tell.

    Not sure if i will be out due to weather. Nice wee video there john but the boy in the vid should have given the beast 5mins to settle after it picked him up at about 3.57min in the vid. He crawled on whilste the buck was locked onto him it new he was there from then on as it ran straight away once up it new he was comming. Bet if he gave it 5min for the ears to settle back it of mearlly stood up & looked to see first but obviouslly it couldent be shot due to back stop & its a buck but nether the less fun & good to do & whatch.

    Hi Match ammmo for benchrest/target shooting do not need to be added onto your FAC you can buy them over the phone & posted to your door or that used to be the way.

    The continentals always had RWS when i used to stalk with forgin clients & 90% was the 7x64 & a good round. RWS are expensive but so is any ammo now i see Federal 243 at £27 for 20. The remmy mag you have not sure on cal but seen the 7mmrum & 300 rum with hard bullets do both no damage & basically gralloch the deer for you as they seem to have quite a vacum to them on the exit & seen them pull the pluk/gralloch out the hole in the ribs. My mates 308 with 150g homeloads was bad for this too in the load we used near every beast had the stomach half out the exit like a greyis

    They are very good & every bodys opinion is diffrent on the rifle front. Im no 223 fan but with this rifle you get the H-S stock (very good) & the remmy 700 action is legendery for semi custom & after market parts so you could do a world of things with this rifle. I would rate it standard as 7-8 out of 10 as the triggers are s**t. Accuracy is that of benchrest stuff with some that i have seen ie .5 MOA & less. I would rather have a shorter barrel as the VS is 26" & i like 20"-22" for what i do & as i said you really want to look at getting a jewell trigger for it straig

    Thats the worst bit o advice to give & you have showed your knowledge on the training of dogs keep it to your self. A dog needs to be trained & will only learn bad habits if all you do is peg it then let it off with no aim of control. Bucknut take it right back to basics as you foundations is broken & she needs to learn its either do it or have a dog that could be working till 12yrs of age & sheer hell & drive you up the wall & if you start beating etc you wont be able to enjoy her & let her work & its her that looses out in the long run.

    Thats a cracking strong buck is he in your cull plan for this buck season??. Looks to be a medal class kinda head too pending weight but not sure on the current system in place now for this. I aint had much to do with cic as iv lost faith in them & have a cracking head here fae 2-3yrs ago to be done but find cic to up there **** twats & been very disopointed with them in the past.

    I do or did in the 22.250 & 25/06 but as you said for the smaller case capacity it could make a diffrence. I know you aint loading yet but i think you should try crimping some rounds as this can give you a consistant start pressure i do all mine have done for 13-14yrs. i have sorted my cases out by type ie norma/winchester etc.

    Hi it was a teenager in Aberdeen area that went by the name HuntingLass i bought the ferrets from. Sure she was called Leanne.

    I have only just started doing my ferreting due to busy game season etc. I have lost my purse nets so orderd 20 fae longnetter off the site here so i said i would put up a pic of my trips put with them to him. I bought my ferrets fae HuntingLass & jodakill off here too as i could not get ferrets in my area for love nor money. My camera packed in a bit today so only 1 pic with nets out & as you can see i was near houses so needed nets. I forgot how much fun the nets were & must say that longnetters nets are great & i lost 1 rabbit that dident bag right & i had a white stoat

    Very nice but you could leave him if he is only 4-7yrs of age i would be looking to leave him. He cant be far from starting to clean we have a few up this way that are starting. I cant beleave the amout of people that cant stalk past a buck due to it being in its prime. I pass alot of beasts on some of my ground for breeding stock.

    Its a 7mm what you expect a soft point could do that from what iv seen with the 7mm round & i amint knocking the 7mm its a good round the 7mm cartridges. Its finding that comprimize of a bullet that holds its retention but then its quite hard bullet that dose this & just punches through & dosent mushroom & like i have said iv seen a SP-bullet blowup like varmint rounds.I know the out side pic of the beast is basically dog food but i love the skinning did it fall of the hook? Sorry dont mind me i just hate deer skinned that are as hairy as they started skinning is hard work &
