1st Jan I went out for a look. Spotted a fox leaving a bit of cover, heading downhill. I drove round to where I thought i might meet it, but was too late. Watched it go down the field to a stream and turn left, following the path of the stream. I knew if I drove round a bit I would be in a position to meet it as it walked along. Sure enough, after a short wait, I spotted it walking towards me, a quick shout stopped it in its tracks and gave me a shot. Went on to another bit and put the caller on the roof. After a few minutes I saw a fox cross a field from right to left about 300 yards in front. Then another showed itself to my left but trotted off before i could get onto it. Again, I knew where it was heading, so a 400 yard dash saw me in a position to take the shot. Home with feet up by 7pm with the 1st 2 of 2017 accounted for. Pulsar XQ50 thermal, Drone Pro x15 with dragonfly, Steyr Pro Hunter .243 with 55g sierra blitz king homeloads.

For sale, .243 ackley imp dies. £100 posted.

Welcome from Kilmarnock

Nice pic, but it's the first barn owl I've seen with a perfect pattern of squares on its leg....photoshopped the anklets off?

Wild or captive?

It's great how everyone is on first name terms with them both, what a friendly bunch.

Pm sent, thanks

There's a date on each gun, 1904, 1945 and 1946.

Not a sheik no. Anyone hazard a guess at value?

Close, but not quite.

A friend from abroad is thinking about buying these. 3 Holland and Holland side by sides. From the photos I can make out a Royal Hammerless ejector, the other 2 I have no idea. I have the serial numbers and am phoning Holland and Holland tomorrow, but does anyone on here have any opinions on model/rough cost?

The bible, is that in the newsagents next to the Beano?

Just finished a bird proofing job in Ayr. There is a resident pair nesting on the clock tower In the middle of the town.

What distance are you talking for a fox sized target, using a T67 IR? Ta.

All held up at the tunnel

Does anyone have a broken Medallist? I'm looking for a part.

Lead in the crop has a chance of coming back up in a casting (pellet). Tho if a piece get down into the digestive system, it'll get broken down and into the bloodstream pretty quickly. Birds dead in a day or two. I often wonder how many of the reported "poisoned" raptors have eaten lead shot carrion and paid the price. Not only the carrion eaters, buzzards kites etc. Only yesterday, I hit a pigeon that faltered on and fell just on the edge of a wood. No sooner had it hit the floor than a sparrowhawk was on it. I breed peregrines, and will only use birds I shoot myself, it's too big a risk for me otherwise.

Hi, from just outside Kilmarnock.

A "hawking muppet"?

Happened to me last year with anothe member on here. He asked for permission and got it, then took 2 of his buddies on and ended up losing there guns for a few months after being silly boys.
