short of moving your fish somewhere else, an electric fence will be about all you can do mate.

or you could try the old dying rabbit call

where do u get an end cap that has a swivel attached? is there any other way of puting in the pistol grip swivel into an synthetic stock with out glue? will it just screw in? Tom

Hello all i also got myself a new synethetic stock 3'' escort magnum for £320 just yesterday as my first gun and was wondering what choke you would recommend for all round shooting? i was thinking the Modified 0.020" (0.50mm) Thanks Tom

keepers wont tell you how many birds they have put down because if they have put down thousands of birds and only 5 or 6 come out a drive he will look bad for loseing his birds.

I have this link to trap making. some are old and illegal. others are still ok, but i thought it might intrest some people. http://www.gutenberg.org/files/17093/17093-h/17093-h.htm let me know what y'all think enjoy, Tom.

Hello my names Tom McKinnon, i am a student gamekeeper studying at the Borders college. I have resently got myself a 12g 3 shot Escort shotgun and am looking for land where I could shoot vermin Rooks, Crows, magpies, Wood Pigeons, Feral pigeons, Jays, Rabbits, Grey Squirrels(tree rats). I will give most pest species a go, i also have a number of air rifles which could be used in out buildings, barns ect. I am a member of the Scottish gamekeepers Association which gives me third party liability for up to £5 million. I look forward to any replies Thanks again, Tom McKinnon

would you just look around and spy out the farms and send off a letter or would you try to meet them face to face or by phone call first? and how do farmers and land owner normaly take this kind of thing. I know up here anyway a lot of people dont want to be bothered with randoms on there land. thanks

ducks also love rotten potatos and rabbit guts believe it or not.

getting the rabbit shouldn't be to hard, as around keepers, farmers, pest control. tanning it is harder get yourself some alum i got some on ebay for about £3 or £4 http://members.tripod.com/Invictaflies/id211.htm

congrats! 155 brace is a good days shooting.

or anyone in the borders , as i drive down that way to college just out side Galla cheers tom.
