  1. I have been on a few pheasant shoots with him. He is a good shot and very nice guy. But I do wish he would put his head above the parapet when it comes to game shooting. I expect his hands might be tide if he wants to keep his job with the bbc.
  2. Its not cheap, but after looking at many options it is the one that worked best for me. The good thing is they do not lose very much money if you want to sell it second hand.
  3. I would keep the trap out of sight and get on it the sooner the better. You will be surprised how many you will catch. Catching the first one is always the most tricky you might find someone local who has a bird you can have.
  4. Have a google, I found someone very local to me.
  5. We still have a half gun available let me know if you have any questions.
  6. I got this half draw and box in my new D Max. The box will take my 3 springers and the draw is plenty long enough to take a full gun. First time I had any dealing with the company and found them great. I fitted my own as I live miles away from them but it was not too much hassle. Good thing with the half size is there is still plenty of room for other stuff with the box in place. https://www.animaltransitboxes.com/store/Hunter-Half-Width-Dog-Box-Pick-Up-System-for-VW-Amarok-p123335973
  7. Does the Ox have to be Vietnamese?
  8. Mine were, after I lost them put a claim in and they paid out without any problems. Mind you I did not buy Cens again as the customer service I received was atrocious.
  9. Ask anyone who lives or spends a lot of time in Cornwall who does the best Pasty and you will get as many opinions as people asked but most from the smaller bakeries and certainly not ginsters. At the moment Mary's out of Grampound Road are top of my list. The ingredients for a Cornish Pasty are simple, beef skirt diced or minced, potato, turnip (swede), onion, salt & pepper. That's it, anything else added and its not a Cornish Pasty. www.cornishpastyassociation.co.uk
  10. The Cornish stuff from the Camel Valley vineyard is very good and has one awards up against some of the best French stuff obviously they can't call it Champagne though.
  11. A bit of a side step, at a local farm where we have a small diy shoot the farmer has been planting nectar and bird seed rich fields on some government scheme. It is incredible how much more bird life there is compared to the cauli's that used to be there. Not really a surprise I know but loads of Skylarks, Greenfinch, Goldfinch plus many other small birds that I have no clue what they are called, this has also increased the amount or Sparrow Hawks, Owls etc. and our Pheasants also love it.
  12. I am no expert but just throwing this in the hat. My son's girlfriend has a miniature and it has had health problems for most of its life and its only 4. Back, eyes and teeth are the things I remember. But he is a great dog, lots of fun and loves a cuddle.
  13. They look cracking and a very sensible price. Watch out for the person who buys only to sell on. I only say this as a friend had a litter of Labs and was selling at £1200 to working homes only to find one guy who wanted two had adverts for the same pups at £2000 even used the owners own photos.
  14. Yes please, pm me payment details please
  15. Visually you get much bang for your bucks from Silver for about £400 you can have a 1/2 kg bar of silver or 8 grams in a gold sovereign about 0.28 oz not much different to a 1p coin. These look nice 10 oz Silver coin 2022. https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/silver-coins/silver-queens-beast/10oz-silver-coin-white-greyhound-queens-beast/
  16. You can choose what year coin you would like to purchase. The link below is for 2022 gold coins, but I can't see a commemorative coin. https://www.bullionbypost.co.uk/gold-coins/2022-gold-coins/
  17. I have bought gold and silver coins from Bullionbypost amongst others with no problems. If you are looking at an investment coin I would forget the plated and franklin stuff Obviously it all depends on your budget a gold half sovereign is around £195.00 or silver 1 oz Britannia coins at about £28.00. There is no vat on gold but there is on silver. If you go the gold route and buy a smaller coin it can be a bit underwhelming but remember it is not likely to lose money. I have bought friends and family's children 1oz Britannia coins from the year of their birth as presents. You also can get lucky at a Pawn Brokers and buy something at a good deal.
  18. I quite liked it maybe because it was in one of my favourite places, Florida.

    Trailer

    Is this to tow behind a motorhome?
  20. We both were to be honest. I have just sent him the videos, he is at uni and is now showing all his mates there.
  21. You got me looking at old videos now. This one is my son aged 10 ish with a Colt 1911 in .45 ACP (The video above with the M4 is also him obviously about 8 years later).
  22. Whenever we go to Florida we head for the range, we like Oakridge gun Range, very friendly with a great selection of guns. Last time there we finished on a M4 Carbine with the full auto option.
  23. I think with the shortage of birds price increases for pellet and wheat there was always going to be a price increase. Not sure you can blame the Keepers. If a gun has booked and paid a deposit it is normally at an agreed price in writing, if the price changes a lot I would think the shoot would or should return the deposit.
  24. We are looking for a half possibly full gun on our diy syndicate not far from Newquay. We shoot on Saturdays normally 10 days. A half gun will shoot 5 days standing all day and hopefully will come and beat the other 5 days, you will be partnered up with another gun and between you decide who is shooting when. We are a diy shoot so you will expected to do work parties and feed rota at least twice a week when the birds first go to wood, so living close will be best. We shoot 20-40 birds a day and all the birds are taken home by the beaters and guns. The whole thing about our shoot is having fun and not taking yourself too seriously, we will cheer when you hit a good bird and laugh when you miss an easy one and expect the same in return. Having a dog would be a great advantage and we cover a lot of ground by foot walking between the drives so you need to be fairly mobile. At the moment we release somewhere around 900 birds, there are a few Partridge about and a possibly a Duck if you are lucky. Cost £380 for half a gun. Contact me for more info.
