  1. She does, says why do I need so many boot, I say stalking, hide work, muddy weather, hot weather, there i no end to the amount of shoes a man needs these days,,, Oh, you didnt mean her shoes did you??
  2. Been doing my DSC1 course this weekend with the tests tomorrow so sitting in the lounge doing some last minute revision when I notice something out the corner of my eye, thinking it was just a deer in the garden I look up to see a nice young fox walking about. I then went to the secret key box, then to the cabinet, then to the ammo safe then after much faffing about about I am ready to go. Outside, accross what felt like miles of pea gravel and making more noise then an elephant on heat but luck was in the target was still there trying to catch bugs and the like. Managed a slow crawl to withing 30 yards then stood up, aimed, and when it still had not noticed me I coughed, bang. Now back to some more revision,,,,,
  3. Evening, unfortunatley I am getting on very well so she is a great little addition to the kit, been out a lot so far on the stubble this year and she has dropped two fox's. Got my .243 too and have my DSC1 test tomorrow so fingers crossed. If you are ever down this way give me a shout and you can take the old girl out for a spin if you like.

  4. I have a short hair and she is totally bonkers! 18 months now and half as mad as before but twice as mad as most! Brilliant fun and really starting to show form now. Totally gun shy last month and now not at all bothered so my thoughts is she was having a stroppy day! Loves the little lass (9 month old daughter) and though I have been at times totally at a loss with her in the first year now she is just ace (mostly) Good luck, people give up on these as they are a hard dog but I am so glad I managed to keep it together and see it through. (planning our second one in about 18 months so must be mad) Good luck!
  5. Evening all, I have the lastest version of the Jelen training CD if anyone is interested, normal stuff, need latest version of power point of the file converter from microsofts website. Meat Hygene Deer ID DSC1 Test Saftey Test £15 posted, Cheers.
  6. What about surgically fitting a large man member to their heads to signify their status in the community? You could be really PC and have multi coloured one too.
  7. Had one a while now, did not like 65mm carts but no issue, 70mm cycle fine in mine and only reduce it to an 8 shot so not all bad. Clean it well and she will work, it is a semi, I use it for rough work, rain, dust, basically she is a tool and does the job well, issues? only one and that is the manual override button that stops her cycling the next round does not work, issue? not for me, sure a seal might go one day but that will be through wear, simple to use and I like it. Only thing I do not like about semi's is they throw the empty cart miles off to the righht and you have to play hunt the empty, hard work if in long grass or standing crops, would be nice to deflect them straight down but the physics is all wrong for them to do that.
  8. How big does this get? If this is a kitten, my dog is looking worried,,,,,,
  9. Sorry but nothing to do with the bag, what is that next to the rifle? Serious cat there,,,,, :o
  10. I use Deben Slim for clay and everything else. I supose it depends if you soot alone or not really and need to have a chat about how poor your mate is shooting, I like mine, good for chatting if sharing a hide and not bad on the wallet, though I have not had to buy batteries yet,,,,,,,
  11. I always put a magpie to one side, not sure it helps with the pattern for pigeon but I do get the odd bonus magpie come in so that is always a good day bagging one of those.
  12. I got done on sat too! Very funny, wife's says strange man called pretending to be nat west fraud team, she was pleased as she told him to go away. Thing is it was and my card had been cloned, £2,000 later and I fell off my chair, money back in account and form all signed, they bought some really cool stuff too and as the wife did not notice the huge overdraft I think a new gun might be on the cards,,,,,,,
  13. Do yourself a favour, sit down with your son and make a list of things you expect, and what he expects, (rent level, review, repairs, bills, length of tenancy and what to do if he can not pay as there is nothing worse then seeing someone buy a new tv when they have not paid the rent,,, friend of mine did this and his parents were not impressed.) do this now and when issues arrise it is not a problem, do not do it and leave it and it might, I say might as it may never be an ssue, but it could go wrong and the stress your wife was under before will be far worse if you have a major fall out. Good on you though for helping your family, would be nice to think I would do the same for my little one if she ever needed it.
  14. Evening, just back from a great afternoon on the clays, new to the scene of clay shooting but as the season is getting closer a bit of training was required as was shooting badly yesterday evening. Got there and was getting ready when a group went past and a chap asked if I was for real, I was using my 16 bore sxs hammer gun so not the average thing to see but it is what I will be using during the shoot so seemed right to practice with her. Anyone else use a sxs on clays or am I the only one? 42/50 so not too bad a result and did really well on the teal stand with a clear 10. Just thought I would ask.
  15. 1. We make staduim seat for the FA and sporting arena, theatres and major event area and big MOD boats floating about the sea. 2. My wife bought the house, she is a lawyer and works 70+ hours defending companies from people who were not clever enough to open doors before walking through them 3. I bought the company for a serious amount of cash and put the house up for it and live with the risk. 4. £70k in my dreams. 5. I also have two degrees, one in physics the other in purchasing and procurement? mean tat all in the real world. I am not sure why working my **** off and taking risks and doing well is so bad? we all have choices to make, make them and go with it, do not put me down for doing ok in life, If you do not like it change it, simple. Ps what is a pension? I have a veggie patch so does that count?
  16. Just had a look at mine at it has plenty of crumple zones all over it, a person will crumple just about any where really by the looks of things so I am not sure what the problem is really.
  17. Morning, been pondering if I should get a range finder as I am now shooting out to 200 yrds and although during daylight hours it is not an issue I have found that duing low light everything is looking a lot different and I found the other night a simple shot looked much further than it actually was, so to be on the ultra safe side I thought it might not be a bad idea. I have looked about for some and to be honest they all look similar and as I am not interested in the thing telling me what hold over I should be using I was looking at a standard Leopold RX 600 unit. On most sites this is at around £200 but on the above mentioned site it is only £150 so quite a drop, issue is it looks a little too cheap so I ask what is wrong, are they for real, do they deliver? Juth thought I would ask.
  18. Oh dear, the concept car on the article makes the new version look like a steroid induced Discovery trying to be all off road, will stick with the old design I think. I can not wait to see a new artic lorry cab with crumple zones on it making it EU approved,,,,
  19. Got my .243 from there and a few bits, great service. Recommend it to my mate who just got a new gun from there. Friendly place.
  20. I think the crash issue is due to the other car involved being destroyed by the defender as they are made of plastic.
  21. When you say no gear do you mean just a gun and carts? Camo is really needed but then just dark clothes in a hedge at a push, decoys make or break the day so if you have none get there very early, you might be lucky and bag a few in a sitty tree, you can then use these to make a pattern, google horse shoe pattern and make that, no hide, issue but not the end of the day, find a hedge on a flight line and make the best of what you have, branches, grass, cowslip is good for a short day. Remember not to damage the hedge though, it is there for a good reason and if the farmer sees you chopping it up he will not be a happy man. STAY STILL! they will see you but if you do not move until the last second you can blag it, From the sounds of it you have nothing to lose and all to gain from this so do some web searches on what to do and then get there for about 5am and do your best. Good luck!
