Did NE one see what happened?as cats are private property if you see one at night lamping then you must know 4sure that it`s feral or you could end up in court!

Solidarity between fieldsports,thats the way ahead.Welcome jess!

How co-incidental is that I just adore a good plump breast meself!In fact if I don`t lose a bit o weight I`m gonna have a pair all to myself

:< they better not I`m thinking of buying a 10bore s/a.Anyone know of one for sale?

not telling only "HER INDOORS"knows,but it`s better than English *&"@*&$ that I usually get called at work,but there again Mr.Ellis resides at Twikkers for the next 4 years!!!!!!!

:blink: I think I`ve just ruptured summat!I`ve been living in Scotland now for 14yrs and even before I did I knew what a jobbie was up here however if you can get blow up ones then there are some sick puppies out there!!!!!

Is this a ban or as they wanted before,to put them on firearms ticket?

wots this,give an old joke a home week :blink:

:blink: been there done that no T-shirt or cigar,although they did taste bloody divine.I did have a season where all I did was drop two birds for one shot when out wildfowling mallard&wigeon,2 mallard,2 goldeneye but best of all 2 pinkfeet!My best bud Jimmy however managed on his 1st goose trip to bag not one but two R&L`s at pinkies then next time at the ducks two R&L`s at mallard,while I stood around like a spare one.....

and there`s me thinking that incest was a game for all the family! Bloke phones his work says"I`m too sick to come in" bossman,who thinks he`s at it says"Just how sick are you?" Fella says"If you must know I`m in bed with my sister!" :blink:

Being of generous proportions I would have to say in order of tastiness woodcock[undrawn],teal[no not him!!!!!!],hare then 3/4 grown bunny.However I managed to get a grouse[young un] this year off a `keeper and it goes in the No1 slot[no funny stuff ]has a really lovely taste quiet unlike anything I`ve ever had.As for Hugh F-whatsisname in one of his progs and books he cooked a womans placenta[afterbirth ]and had it at a party to celebrate the new sprog.Anywayone of the guests is a veggie and decides that as nothing has died to provide this sumptuous tucker time to chow down with the rest.Dont think it would taste like chicken.......on the other hand fish??? :blink:

I`ve an old 686essential and when I 1st started I used imp&1/4 then as I started to get better I tightened up to 1/4&3/4 using gamebore clear pigeon 30g 6`s fibre wad.Remember plas wads are tighter grouping than fibre,and if you have any doubts about your cart try patterning them[i use old paper sacks opened out].I got a shock when I tried some 10 bore loads,the shot was balling together and left interesting holes & crescents in the sacks & I won`t be using those ones!

Yorkie pud is right we have a ban up hear in scotland,but we just send in the hounds into a block of forestry and out pops Mr.Todd who then gets 53grms of No1s in the puss.Long live the ban up here were killing more foxes more efficiently than ever[and they dont get lamp shy!]

Howsabout one of the cheapest available calls,a wee piece of polystyrene dragged down the lightly moistened windscreen or mirror.Remember to try different types of poly and use edges and flat surfaces to alter tones as well as the speed of drag.Attleborough accessories and Deben now do a squirrel call,keep reading it`s not a wind up,which when used the way the nice american man,on the tape which comes with it,demonstrates can be devastating on toddies that have seen and heard it all[a variable beam on the lamp helps too]You only need one hand or your mouth to use it and it can imitate what sounds like a cartoon character or a good mouse squeek.

the only pop up hide i`ve used is a fishing brolly with cammo net over,quick, portable and weatherproof in hot or cold situations!

cant say i`ve ever had any thing other than the odd sparrowhawk,however i once had a seal surface amongst my duck deeks,and if youve ever heard one of those big m*$£&%**kers exhale at 20yds on a calm morning that is also change of pants time,at least when aircraft are coming the noise builds up,but a big ****** erupting like a polaris snorting twice then seeing me and exiting at 20 knots scattering deeks everywhere.I know who got the bigger surprise[just as well i wore waders!]

the best way i`ve found is dispatching pliers.basically round nose pliers but beefed up a bit place it on the neck near the head and close hard,the only thing i had difficulty with was a greylag gander.

I`m a 1st timer on any forums but I thought I`d add my tuppence worth.First peas are big bits of protein and when cut are easy to harvest[unless the combine is duff].rape seed is small and easily spilled out over the field especially after rain & if swathed[cut & laid to dry]so a pigeon will choose to pick away on a cut rape field.I have also had probs on fields that have been sprayed & I had a chat with the guy doing it,he said it was a desicating [drying]spray and after it was sprayed the birds hardly looked at it.However this year has been brilliant for me,but not for pigeons or farmers.The pea combine kept choking up and every now & again there would be a strip of peas 5-10 yds long so the birds didn`t have too far to go to top up belly & crop eventually there were around 1000 birds at any one time on the 2 adjacent pea fields,not only that but in the next field was laid patches of milky wheat!!!Needless to say myself & afew pals had a very enjoyable 3 week spell,I just hope my eye is still in next week for the ducks!!!TIP OF THE SEASON-Time spent on reconnaisance[?]is never wasted.
