[hazel sticks]

The book says best one month either side of christmas. others say cut em when you see em cos someone else will have them.

I'm going to cut a few this week, but like maliserow says they're getting heavier so these will be the last ones.

[STOCK EXTENSION]

Thanks ditchman that is what Im thinking of doing. just wondering about howto ensure I get the lines right.

Bobba thanks for your replybutIneed to add too much length for a recoil pad

[STOCK EXTENSION]

I've got an old Baikal 16 bore that I bought for my son when he was 14. However he's grown up and lost interest. Anyway I could do with extending the stock by about 2 inches but dont want to spend on a gunsmith as the gun only cost 80 quid. I had a look on youtube but cant find anything. Does anyone have any suggestions for a DIY solution?

[50 bird day, North Wales.]

Welcome to Llangollen Billy

[Osprey]

Once had the privilege of watching an osprey hunting o the river Tay when I was fishing for salmon. Saw deer moving through the wood at the side of the river same day.

 

Next day watched a pine marten swim the river. Even caught a salmon that week. Best week out ever

[Moles or something else?]

Moles, known as a fortress. Normally they'll rest/sleep/breed above ground level - flood risk - in a bank or whatever. If they're too far away from such then this does the job.

Spot on - Fortress.could be breeding a bit early

[getting into stalking]

Thanks for the info chaps. I am not looking or expecting to get any land of my own. Really estate rifle/ cull is all i would expect to see how i get on with it. I wouldn't dream of trying to stalk in my own right until experienced enough and confident in my own abilities; DSC1 an essential for this.

 

I'm in North East Wales and there are no deer within an hour of me (some fallow in Abergele/st Asaph areas).

 

Thanks again

[getting into stalking]

Thanks - useful advice

[getting into stalking]

Can anyone offer any advice/suggestions as to how to get into deer stalking. I don't know anyone who does and no deer near me.

Don't want big reds just roe/fallow muntjac etc.

 

 

[stick handles]

I've glued a piece of buffalo horn and shaped and polished this, comes up nice

[Treating an old stick]

I put heat shrink tube on my beating stick - protects the stick quite well but not overly pretty.

 

Bought 1 inch diameter tube from eBay, slipped it on and applied hot airblower. Might be worth a try

[Woodcock]

Seen a few on our shoot near Corwen, N Wales

[good day on crows]

Can I ask , what do you do with the carcasses. I had a good day out several weeks ago:- shot 53, ended up burying em.

 

What is the usual practice

[My woodturning hobby]

Love the shaving kit.

[Pigeon Shooting Please]

Am in the same boat mate. Nothing around North East Wales either.

 

Got excited because I saw a dozen woodies in a tree by my house!.

 

I got stung by the North Cheshire pigeon syndicate episode on here so have been cautious about asking for help since.
