All pay the same % tax on our earnings, certainly.

It’s a joke, we as individuals use the council services, whether we earn £15000 or £150000 we all use those services more or less to a equal extent (it could be argued the rich us them less), and we as individuals should pay equally, cannot conceivably see how it should be linked to the value of a property or to property at all. Some thing based on the electoral roll would be much fairer, it could be called a Poll Tax or something similar

A lot of shooters I hate to say have no knowledge of how out various wild quarry species are faring. this guidance is just that, to let shooters know which species in particular are not doing well and providing suggestions of appropriate ‘harvest’ levels for some of those which are seeing declines.

I was thirteen, would be fourteen in the November of that year, doing normal kids stuff. We never had much money but my Dad had a company car and free use of it and the fuel account, so most weekends were taken up with long drives into the countryside and picnics! In season I Really looked forward to going beating every other Saturday on a farm shoot. Now all these years later fortunate to run a pheasant shoot over that very same land. remember watching the strike and the picket lines on the TV, and being undecided on ‘which side I was on’, disliked Scargill though who just seemed like a shouty little man. A school friends cousin was a young copper who earnt a small fortune in overtime policing the picket lines.

I will confess I’ve only read the guidance quickly, but I thought that the recommendations were for all, inland and foreshore? Yes of course they are not binding, especially inland but they give food for thought and some real numbers as voluntary limits.

Recently published, not much to argue against but no doubt many will. Some wildfowl species are undoubtedly declining, so official advise on how to adjust our harvest rates etc is surely a good thing https://basc.org.uk/wildfowling/advice/sustainable-shooting-code-of-practice/

Lazy Cheats were using Thermal to spot the quarry then walk right up to it.

Might not be able to get hydration, I would get it out, found dead wood mice in similar situations.

Pup bit my daughter accidentally while playing.

Dogs in pain can lash out and bite the hand that is trying to help them. Simple as that. Hounds hung by a leg on wire are notorious for it. this incident with the pup is a non issue. -
Read your report, sounds like a good trip. in lead I always liked 42 gram of 3’s. Although I have shot plenty with 1’s and yes, BB’s.

These are not Dark Storm. They are straight Black Gold with plaswads and a mixed steel 3 and 4 shot. Where I bought them told me they were loaded for the Danish market. Had them for quite some time now, although running low.

Hull Steel Game, 32 gram size 5. And Gamebore Black Gold 32 gram 3/4 shot (each shell had 2 shots sizes mixed), which are also my main duck load when wildfowling.

I suppose I am running down my meagre stock of lead, probably shot 120 lead and 30 steel at game this season. Could not tell the difference. Pheasants and partridge were killed with both, missed with both and some (a few) were pricked with both. My last purchase was a slab of steel ‘game loads’ and 100 Gamebore 35 gram steel 3’s ‘extreme game type’ loads which I will reserve for wildfowling. Both had biodegradable wads. My game shooting is flattish farmland and nothing extreme about it. So I guess next season I will be shooting steel for all my shotgun shooting, bar some premium non toxic (hevi shot and ITM) for wildfowling.

Or in other words, decided to have a last look around mopping up the breeding stock
