I have a pit bull bitch due any day now there's 4 homes waiting for pups since before she was lined, she came from a litter of 13 and by the look of her she could have 13 herself. there's the pup im keeping and homes for 4 more so if she has 13 there will be 8 left and I will in my fukc cull them, they could be good working dogs or pets for someone. I wouldn't leave all 13 on her for 8 weeks I would leave 5 maybe 6 on her after 4 weeks when they were all eating solids. you cant pick a pup at one day old unless your picking for colour alone. I have no problem in culling siht dogs Iv culled enou

Thoughts On 8 Shot 12G Escort
alan81 replied to deerhunter25's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
if I had a gun that failed to cycle once or twice in every 40 shots it would drive me mad, not only the gun not working but that someone took 450 euro of me for it that's why like sprocker dog im going with the Winchester SX3. -
I had a bitch injected by the vet she was 22kg and she got 15ml divided over 2 days and cost 119 euros. the vet said you cant keep using the injection because it will fukc up her insides and could kill her if used to much. vet reckoned once was to much.

hea lads I just saw a clip on blaze where lads are shooting the .950 JDJ its a .905 calibre CF rifle. the gun weighs 50 lbs and that's the prototype the new gun weighs 110 lbs it fires a 4" long 1" thick 2,400 gr round fired by 240 gr of powder. I have no idea how to put a link up for all of you to watch it. if someone could look it up and stick a link up for everyone to watch? its well worth a watch none of the lads can hold on to it when fired, one of the lads says its like firing ten 30-06 rifles at one time. has anyone heard of it?

no mate your doctor wont ask you for payment that's not true you will have to pay for your doctors time even if you don't get a letter. that would be like the doctor taking a bribe, the doctor cant and wont give you a letter if he thinks your not of sound mind he would be putting his career in danger and also he would be in danger of prosecution if anything happened. yes you have to be noting but honest with the police but I would not have as much as a pee gun now without the backing of my doctor. I asked the police to get in touch with my doctor and ask for her opinion and they did and she se

make one here's one a lad was making to order on another forum. the spaces in the walls are for house insulation. just make it to whatever size you want. Edited to say the floor and roof are insulated as well.

you will find a second hand Beretta or Browning for that money but the gun will most likely have a lot of marks and scrapes it will shoot fine just not look the best. I don't know Weatherby to well but Lamber and Baikle do semi autos new for around 500 I think the Baikle could be a bit less, they are both good guns. the Baikle went through a torture test where it is said to have fired 50,000 rounds without 1 failure maybe there worth looking into. my advice is stay away from the Hatson Escort you here lads saying they are happy with there's but then you more saying they are shit and always le

make sure that her recall is fairly good before you start her retrieving, if she wont come to you then you cant expect her to retrieve to you.

Second Time Out 5 Slips 4 Rabbits
alan81 replied to Me and my whippet x's topic in Lurchers & Running Dogs
nice one and keep doing what your doing its good to see your not rushing him. -
here's a pic with the lines you where talking about and it is the same as where I said so we were both on about the same point of aim.

I was shown where to shoot them by the owner of a knackery yard, he shot the cow dead and told us if we had to shoot one that was where to shoot them. I shot 5 or 6 in that spot and they all dropped dead. I missed that spot once with the first shot and she shuck her head and bellowed and then fell dead with the second shot. all I know is they will fall dead if you hit them between the eyes and up 1 1/4".

I don't think you should have to much trouble as long as your doctor is behind you. im on meds for depression for the last 7 years almost of them now thank fukc. I was called in to the gards a few times for check ups and 1 gard wroth a letter to the super saying he didn't think I should have guns. I never lost my guns and I just received my third licence a few days ago. as long as your doctor is willing to wright a letter to the police saying you are of sound mind and he/she see's no problem with you having guns there should be no problem atb.

yes a .223 will easily kill a cow iv shot 5 or 6 all be it with a shotgun number 4 32gram. I would have no problem shooting a cow with a .22 WMR or a .17 HMR. a cow has a big head but the place you need to shoot them for an instant kill is no bigger than a cartridge. you aim right between the 2 eyes and up about 1 1/4" and you will hit the brain. if you miss that spot which I did once the cow wont even fall she wont be right but still alive.

ah lads he must have been drunk or hi on something worth trying when he forgot where to find rabbits. atb in your fur search mate when you find them let me know where they are

Thoughts On 8 Shot 12G Escort
alan81 replied to deerhunter25's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
im looking into getting a new shotgun now and my gun dealer recons buying an escort is like buying a lucky bag you don't know what your going to get it could come good or you could get a pile of scrap metal. I think im going to go with the Winchester SX3 it costs about 600 euro more but I really like the narrow fore end and pistol grip and the safety is behind the trigger where I like it. im not on a big budget but I can pay weekly for the gun and I recon your better of getting the gun you like rather than just getting the one you can afford at the time plus the Winchester SX3 is basically a B -

there's a map with all the reported sightings on some site I think its called Irish invasive animals or some thing like that it also has a map of Muntjac sightings. as soon as a boar is reported to be seen somewhere coillte or whoever is over that forest try and catch or cull them straight away. they say they do a lot of damage to young trees. I think there is supposed to be 13 small groups or herds in Ireland.

Views on the .204 Ruger for rabbiting
alan81 replied to matthill01's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
it seems shooting in Ireland is very different than it is in Britten or am I only talking to game keepers where its your job?. I only know one farmer who doesn't allow hunting on his land and he's a right fukcer. everyone hunts everywhere over here so there's no chance of loosing shooting ground and with so many people all hunting the same ground there's no big numbers to control also there's not many shooting estate's here not that I know of anyway just a few so there's not to many people employed through shooting so we don't have to keep a certain farmer/keeper happy.- 26 replies

alan81 replied to matthill01's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
You may not see the point in waste but to others the point of the exercise is not to produce a harvest but to actually remove vermin I have no respect for what I kill I give it no second thought there is no need for sentiment I'm paid and expected to do a job I enjoy that is killing vermin and producing game for others to kill my harvest is the money in the bank at the end of the month and my only concern is that what I do is humane and when it comes to making things dead you can never have too much gun. well I can understand your way of thinking a little more now I know its your job but- 26 replies
