  1. You can get a roll of hi vis tape (none adhesive) from the hard ware store tie a length of this to the trap and do whatever you normally do to cover the trap, the end of the tape lays on the ground and is easily visible.... the traps can also be lifted by using the tape,,,,, I use this on both putang and duffus traps,,,, works for me and the tape isn’t easy to lose as it’s attached to the trap,,,, also keeps the site of a trap low profile, and won’t be lost due to animal traffic.......
  2. I shoot with one and find them excellent, but there not everyone’s cup of tea. benifits are they throw the spent case out the bottom, 99% of jams are down to user error, easy to clean. What I have found (and I have had three of these) though this is my opinion is the stock is a tad long therefore End up cutting 3/4 inch of the stock,,, which seems to help when recycling,, also they do need a bit of running in
  3. Merry Xmas both of you, have a good one,, eat what you you want and drink plenty.... 👍👍👍
  4. I also use a roe sack,,, holds every thing I need to carry on,, and off 👍
  5. Not sure,, I have 2 of the Special forces smocks and a parka,, none of them have any labels that show any numbering the belay SF smocks are brilliant as they have a dual layer system which is extremely breathable and comfortable,, I use the parka on warmer days as this hasn’t a lining but is extremely waterproof as is the smocks ...... best bit off kit I have ever bought for the marsh and have used only one off the smocks for the last 4 seasons and it hasn’t let me down (the other is a spare just in case they ever stop making them)
  6. Couldn’t agree more mark,,, best jackets I have ever had for fowling
  7. I have half a dozen widgeon, can’t remember when I got them.... nice and light but no good for tidal decoying
  8. I have a electric punt gun works of a 9v battery.....
  9. Lovely guns felt wad.. I am envious Lee... that's a brilliant video that you and TGS have put together,, well done.. being a fan of the 4bores it was a good watch and a probably a video that will be a must see in years to come for the up and coming big bore wildfowlers,,, and also shows the capability of what these guns can and will do. I pattern mine at 100 yrds with good results using BP and nitro which see the demise of any geese at that range..
  10. Cheers Mike great meeting you and thank you going to have some fun with this Carl

  13. it is harrycatcat1, got to take the rough with the smooth though,, high tides and a SW wind can play havoc with road, but on the whole its fantastic something to see and do every day,,, can go fishing and when my teas ready our lass just gives me a shout, the wild life is great.... seals dolphins porpoise otters and all the shore birds and migrants that pass through at certain times of the year...….. always something interesting washed up after a storm..... yep its delightful
  14. very good... found I was holding my breath for every shot
  15. after reading all the posts in this section I thought hey I really need a couple of these as we have a jotul woodburner in the living room and a tiger multifuel in the kitchen. I live in a bungalow with a fairly large living room and large kitchen, we only have 4 radiators in the whole house as we use the stoves more for heating than the radiators,,, but on cold windy days ( I live on beach exposed to whatever comes off the irish sea) the house gets rather chilly,, couldn't ever get the temp over 17c even with the stoves on,,, so I invested in two valliant stove fans and what a difference they have made living room temp is now up 3 to 4 degrees over the average of 17c (cozy) and the kitchen has reached tropical temperature's... which it had never reached before around a increase off 5 to 7 degrees over the average..... the whole house seems much warmer since installing one fan on each stove... the boiler isn't now working flat out just to reach the 17c temp..................... cant recommend them enough in my case as they really have made a difference to the whole house, as for cost I am not bothered but I reckon as the boiler isn't working overtime anymore I might eventually make a saving not just on gas for the boiler but fuel for the stoves
  16. Hi Washman is it Damascus barrels and is it nitro proofed, also what is the chamber length Carl
