you dont want to lugging eqip you dont have to,your barbour wax is a noisy jacket if stalking prey and you brish a tree or bush it will make a noise plus you dont wanna catch it on anything also bloody hot in summer and heavy to carry, i also use a cammo balaclava under a hat just to make doubly sure i aint spotted! Try and get telescopic poles if you can,if not use nature to give u a hand, branches(already fallen) ditches fences etc. It doesent matter if wot u have aint the best,it will do a job,if it doesnt improvise! hope ths helps somewhat. NCS

Hi all, These are the first pics i have downloaded. I was picking up for my dad yesterday as i have a broken arm and am unable to shoot,gutted as he had some cracking shooting. Although it gives me time to work my black lab bitch teal. hope u like em!

hi all, due to the need to create space i have 2 bailkal 12g shotguns for sale details are as follows: 1: skeet and skeet chokes, OU, is an exellent game gun and has only 2 owners from new(was a hand me down!!) has slight stock damage hence £75 asking price 2:1/4 and 3/4 chokes, OU, is in good condition, £125. if you are interested or need more details please pm me. Thanks Gordon NCS

thanks NTTF i have read both and am reluctant to get her sprayed as she has shown great potential and also has good breeding lines BUT i do not want to detriment the dog breed by breeding from her. One of the main reasons for buying her was to breed from her but i think i may have to reconsider. Many Thanks NTTF

i need some help,i have been to visit my vet as i suspected somthing was wrong with my pup,shes nearly 12months old and had her first season around 3 months ago and she said that what she is experincing is a phantom pregnancy and may do so evreytime she comes into season for the rest of her life. What i am wondering is will it affect breeding from her in the future and when may be the best time to breed from her?? and will the phantom ones stop if she has a litter? many thanks NCS

Hi all am after any of the above if anyone can supply me with either,used or new. Many thanx NCS

moderator eh......... :o

In all fairness its not like you have been caught with your d*ck in another woman or anything. :*) its your money,u spend it before she does!! gd luck matey!

Yep but round worm was the problem,like wise i was told to give her pasta,rice tatties chicken and fish for 7 days. Hope she gets better soon.

Quality, Me and the missus split up last nite. It was either her or the pup........................... well she did ask!

She is making good progress but still under weight,she spent 3 nites at the vets on a drip,and he found the problem,round worm and lots of them poor wee thing, she had been wormed by the breeder but the vet says the tablets are not as potent as the new ones out and if there is lots of pups in a kennel and they get food together out one bowl with the tablets in them then they may not get an equall amount, if you see what i mean. Thanks NCS

well i got my order today and am well impressed with the overall quality of the gear but the proof is in the pudding as they say,so c'mon snow am ready for ya....... u think cranfield may be on commision???

She is better but still not her lively self,thanks for all the advice.

Phoned vet 1st thing and went to collect antibiotics,thanx for all the input guys! Ps not a tight ****!!!

Thanx Adam w,am going to see how she is overnight and ring vets 1st thing,good idea with the oxo,she had ignored the rice so may try that one soon.NCS

i had tried to give her rice but she had refused to even look at it so gave her the scrambled eggs instead.i dont really care about the money factor i just dont want to over react to the situation but at the end of the day her welfare is paramount. Thanks all,this is a learning curve for me more than the dog.happy new year.NCS

http://www.arcticoutdoorclothing.co.uk/ I have ordered an outfit from this company, a syndicate member whom i shoot with and cranfield both recomended them,i was also thinking of barbour but too damn expensive happy shopping.NCS

Thanks,i think i will have to ph vet.

Happy new year all,My 16 wk old lab pup has not been well over the last few days she has been sick quite often,i think it was due to a marrow bone she was given,any way i thought she was getting better as she held down porridge at lunch time so i gave her some scrambled eggs at 3 ish and has just coughed them up (6.30)i phoned the breeder and he suggests warm milk but i am not sure if normal milk is ok or should i use baby milk,any other suggestions would be gratefully recieved.NCS
