All (except two lumps to try) gone in the freezer, vac packed in 100g bundles. In fact, it's nice with a 'wet' type curry like a vegetable curry, which I make when I have leftover veggies and add the frozen chicken tikka pieces and a (often from a jar) curry sauce. Makes a nice 'two pots meal' with some rice.

Hello everyone, my name is Joshua, born in West Wales. Iv not long moved to Northern Ireland, Belfast and I'm currently in the process to transferring my shotgun certificate and guns over. Didn't realise there were only Firearms Certificates over here but the ball is rolling and the process has begun. Just inquiring on here if anyone has any info or could lend a helping hand. I'm a keen clay shooter and spent most winters in west Wales helping and beating on the local pheasant shoot, pest control, rough shooting, woodcock shooting, wild fowling and ferreting as well as doing a lot of fox control during the summer months (Used to have a .223 Tikka). Im looking to do my DSC 1 and get into a bit of deer stalking and head over to Scotland for the stalking months ( I see stalking here in NI is a bit thin but not as thin as Ceredigion) I would be grateful for anyone with some recommendations to clay grounds or if anyone would like a shooting partner or even if you know of a shoot than needs a beater for the winter I'm available and willing to help out. I look forward to chatting with anyone who can helpKind RegardsJoshua

I don’t see how anybody that has had kids can moan about all the building work, loss of country side, global warming etc. It’s just massively hypercritical.The world is doomed with the reproductive rates of our species.

so using 1 1/8 loads as a good average chucking nearly 20 lbs of lead shot over the ground every shoot day .multiply that by days shooting year after year 🤔

Yes and take no notice of the gas bangers at all 🤣

Eating meat , period, is a key argument from those that seek to ban live quarry shooting, and I really dont think they care what its shot with. The same people will use the same argument against steel shot getting stuck in the gizzards of birds eventually.... Agreeing with the antis on ANYTHING is not a sound strategy, because they will never agree with us that shooting is 'sustainable' or humane. We are evil murderers according to them, and it doesnt matter whether we use lead, steel, copper, or just throw rocks at animals.

Yes I sometimes wonder about leaving a big group but when I tried it, they swooped in, didn't like it and left me fuming for having wasted a chance which I had waited 45 minutes for. There was lots of rape around here this winter, so they just go to another field/farm.

will you be giving it the ditchman touch with glossy mag pics and all laid out on the plate with veg/chips, no red jam please.

Have you got any pics of the Rifle, Mod and Ammo?

Very interesting , maybe some of our Welsh members could be a bit help with the location you might one day be visiting . You would have to go up and down the U K two or three times to do 5000 plus miles on a road trip , a friend of mine is now taking three months off work to walk with his wife the full length of the U K from Lands End to John O Groats ,the route they are taking add up to 1,115 miles and they will be walking on average 15 / 20 miles a day .

Some game dealers will accept lead shot game and some won’t. It depends on who they are selling the game to. Shoots have two considerations. Do they want to move away from lead shot to reduce the risk to birds eating the lead shot as grit? Do they need to move away from lead shot because their game dealer won’t accept lead shot game anymore? Of course in the latter scenario the shoot could try to find another game dealer that will accept lead shot game. It’s a voluntary transition so it’s up to shoots what to decide but BASC would always encourage the move away from lead shot for live quarry shooting. Non-lead shot game does not carry a premium. In terms of marketing game meat and reaching new markets it certainly helps not to have to explain about it containing lead. There have been recent projects where hospitals and nurseries are procuring game meat for their menus. That game meat is lead free. Some supermarkets are now selling lead-free game meat that were not previously. It’s not about marketing game meat as ‘lead-free’ its about marketing it as an alternative to other meats and about its nutritional values and sustainability - game as food is after all a key argument against those that seek to restrict or ban live quarry shooting. It’s all inter-linked.

No the coalman worked for Bessey and Palmer , he had an ole Hillman Huskey and it ran on B P petrol , think about it , I told you we were a rough ole lot over on the island

Sitrep, I saw four Swallows today!

Very interesting @NoBodyImportant. I have only been able to trace my ancestors back to he 1820’s. Possibly because they were peasants and not landowners like your lot.

👍👍👍 Agree with a lot said here, give them to a reloader that will break them down, and use the components . A friend runs a large clay range, and passes on dozens of faulty cases to me, nothing is wasted , and can all be broken up easily.

A few more pics

No not technically. Turks and Caicos was British if i remember correctly. So not sure if that counts. I have looked into it a few times but the US dollar doesn’t go far over there. So whenever we are looking at long out of country trips we normally end up in South/ Central America. One day I will end up over there for a Castle tour. My ancestral home is Abercynrig in Brecknockshire Wales.( though my line of Aubrey sold it to an Aubrey cousin in the late 1500s) so I will go there for sure to see it before I die. But when I looked into it years ago the home wasn’t open for tours. So eventually I’d like to get a hold of the owners and email them to see if I can set it up. Its not like I know the owners but I’m hoping they would be kind enough to at least let me see the outside of the place if I can show my ancestral paperwork. From the paperwork I have that area of wales was given to a man named Sir Reginald Aubrey. He was born in Normandy but his grandson son was born there in Wales in 1095 and the Aubrey family lived there until the 1500s when my line sold it to a cousin (still Aubrey tho). And in 1632 a man named John Aubrey was born in Virginia making him the first Aubrey born in America. I haven’t found documentation but I’m assuming by the the fact Reginald Aubrey Senior was born in Normandy in 1030 and his grandson was born in Abercynrig in 1095 that my family played apart in the 1066 invasion and got that land as payment of sorts. (Just a guess) but I have to seen the place before I die.
