Personally I think they are bloody disgusting
-
I used to fish for them many years ago, had a few local fellas that loved to eat them, times have changed and they are in decline so I've not fished for them for quite a few years now.

Buy the best you can afford, that was advice given to me yes ago and it's worked all my life. personally I would go pulsar, because I'm a fan of them. once the initial sting of purchase is forgotten, it should still be performing flawlessly, and also gives the option to do more with it, but if you get a lesser model and get more shooting then you need to upgrade again ! Just my twopenniworth

No, that's wrong, they can try and charge all they like but will come unstuck in court, it's perfectly legal to jab your own animals, farmers have been doing it for years.

Surely he had a sheet over the top ?
-
That's how I done mine, it was a ball ache, and I had a 4 foot hole (register plate not fitted) to work with, got there with loads of sweat and swearing. if the chimney has been built properly it should have a bend in it to get the draw, that's usually where it balls up, I was lucky and could see mine so guided it with a broom handle while one pulled and one pushed, was like a carry on film.

I've got one sat in my yard waiting for a new engine to be dropped in, it also has chassis problems, in the two yrs before it went bang it had, new turbo, complete rewire, new g/box, both diffs, complete new suspension all round, new alternator, new starter. It was an out an out money pit with problem after problem. I have the new ranger, it's a world apart and the best truck I've owned, (I've had most). The only other one I would consider is the Isuzu.

Has anyone stopped to consider, maybe we view the big 5 (or 8 ?) differently as we don't have them in our country. I was once told I was wrong for shooting rabbits in the numbers I did, by a shooting man, because they had no rabbits and he couldn't grasp we could shoot 100 in an evening without batting an eyelid. Do we look at elephant, rhino, lion etc, differently to the guys out there, would we look at them the same if they were native in our own lands ? I have never been big game hunting, I have done safari circuit, I know the local ways out there, I also know how valuable th
-
Yeah spot on mate, if you have room and it's not any trouble I would love them. How you finding things out there ?
-
Nice, good to see some folk have got good numbers about still. I use a Vulcan in .25 and I would say it's in the top 2 rifles I ever owned.

Country Way Gun Shop - bulk pellet purchases.
Rabid replied to mark williams's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Same folk I use for all my bulk pellets, never had an issue with them, and always cheaper than everywhere else. -
I know plenty of keepers get extra help in, thought it had always been like that.
-
Thats superb, would love a pair of them haging in the man cave along with my anchors. No idea what it's for but it's some piece of kit.
-
And a tight fit, or is that just me ?
-
GL, that looks bloody lovely, I will be tapping you up for some recipes and ideas in a few weeks when the first lot are ready ?
-
They don't need a licence, but flo will most likely want to see it in place and check security etc.
-
How do you think they would feel about it ?
-
£400 for 8 stitches, glad I do all my own minor repairs
-
As per walshie, I've got 4ft and 6 ft traps, the bigger ones seem to catch more often but that could be location, the 4ft just seem small to me, but I know folk who catch with smaller.
-
I been told by lads out fishing it was expensive, the guides usually ask them to bring odd things over for them, heard the beer can often be £14 a pint. what would you say is the closest price match we have here, essentials like bread and milk I would have guessed. 49% tax, that makes your eyes water, do 5 years and claim the pension ?
-
Yeah your not too far off on 20 yr ago. Not quite that far back though. wouldnt surprise me some of the horror stories I've heard about brickies and what they can earn, nearly two yr back I put some founds in and the brickie told me they were on £1 a brick to build it ! I quite often drive by it and wonder how many bricks are in it.
-
Course it isn't sustainable. I know a developer, has probably 500 ish blokes, took a project on three years ago, a few hundred houses in phases, all the financial experts in the world, projected profits and such like, should have made them multi millionaires, it virtually bankrupt them because of labour increases, yes admitted to me they were very lucky and only as he had such a strong company with fingers in other pies they survived it, just.
-
Agreed, it's mental, but that's the way it's gone around here, you wouldn't find a plasterer here for under £200 (unless they were terrible) or it's a mate doing mates rates for you.
-
How long ago ? I can remember busting myself for £30 a day, took me a long long time to realise I could push my prices up and still get the work, a mate ran a big company and gave me a few days on a machine, he told me then half my problem was I was too cheap, it put folk off, and I was charging him £120 a day, I'd never had it so good ! I just lost a greenhorn labourer, didn't know one end of a shovel from the other, went to a huge firm and his starting wage is £250 a shift ! He gave me the chance to match it and he would stay, these big firms are desperate for labour.
-
I'm a bit old school and still smile if I can earn a oner without busting a gut, this building bubble got to burst soon, it's not sustainable. £250 a day ''should'' be good money anywhere, but fact of matter is it's not as hard to earn as some think, tax free is always nice though. Hell I would work out there for peanuts just to experience it, so long as travel and digs were sorted, you only live once
