  1. Hello, Anyone have a tasty (not too difficult) game pie recipe please? Looking for the cold pork pie type and not the hot steak & kidney type. Cheers
  2. Various vintage Hardy fishing reels, some unused still in boxes, £250 the lot! message 07795 363175 for photos
  3. Suzuki king quad 450 AXi, excellent condition, low miles/hours. £4000 ono S Wales
  4. Price in the region of £700 or to the value of.
  5. Used but in very good condition, open to sensible offers, may exchange for a decent scope or other lesser binoculars.
  6. Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough, he is very good to recall, the problem is when I don't have eyes on him for a couple of minutes and don't realise he's gone, that's when he does a runner and its a long distance runner! I do have him in the back of the truck with the with a grill to stop him getting out sometimes if I need to concentrate on some piece of work, but I don't like him closed up for long periods.
  7. I was given a 4 year old male Cocker from a well known shoot about 5 months ago, lovely dog, obedient, good to the whistle and good worker, my big problem is I cant take my eyes off him for more than a couple of minutes, because if I do, he's gone! I work all over the country in forestry/private woodlands and take him to work with me every day, for the most part he's fine and stays close but as soon as my back is turned, he scarpers, it's like he's just waiting for the opportunity, one second he's there, then the next second he's gone, and I mean not just 30 or 40 yards, he goes for miles................... In the last 5 months I have had to collect him from 8 different dog rescue centres around the country, apart from the embarrassment (and annoyance) on average its costing me £35 each time, I'm reluctant to return the dog to the shoot from where it came but I cant go on like this. I've spoken with my two local vets about his behaviour, (especially the fact that he is constantly scent marking) but they don't seem to think that having him neutered will make any difference. Any realistic advice would be much appreciated......................... Thanks for reading
  8. Where is the best market north of Manchester for Rabbit, Pheasant, Hare, Partridge, etc
  9. Hi, Hope Mods dont mind but just in case you dont read the wanted section, Im after a front sling swivel for a Beretta AL391 if anyone has one they dont need. Cheers
  10. Hi all, What are your thoughts on freezing pheasant still in feather and not gutted, also shot rabbits not gutted. Someone I know (a chef) seems to think that it is fine. I would have thought it too risky not knowing if some shot has penetrated the intestines tainted the meat. Anyone tried this? how difficult/easy is it to pluck/skin once defrosted? Cheers
  11. Hi and thanks for your comments so far, I'm living in Wales so the same rules apply regarding steel shot, but wildfowling would only make up a small part of my shooting.
  12. Any advice on these two guns please, pro's and con's, which is the better? I've decided to get back into shooting and I'm thinking I would like a S/A, no particular reason other than I've never had one before, or do you think I should stay with a O/U? Most of my shooting will be mainly rough shooting, the occasional wild fowling trip and the obligatory sessions on the clays (to be told why I cant hit anything out in the field). I appreciate its all about the fit (and the look) but I want to try and get it right as it will probably be my last gun (age doesnt come on its own). Any advice much appreciated.
  13. Apologies, most important thing and I forgot to mention it. Offers in the region of £1200 please.
  14. CTX 3030 with various extras, purchased new July 2013, very light use. I am open to sensible offers or would consider a swap for a decent O/U or Semi auto 12b.
  15. Hello out there! The 60th birthday arrives end of November and my good wife has suggested I take myself off for a long weekend for a bit of shooting/fishing, I'm looking for some inspiration. All suggestions will be considered................................
  16. Just paid £52.50 for 500 Winchester 42gm subsonics from Rugby Gun shop.
  17. Thank you chaps, keep em coming.....................
  18. Come on guys, 103 views, all those 452 Americans out there with scopes and mods, surely someone has found the perfect gun slip.
  19. Anyone suggest a decent gun slip for a CZ452 American with scope & mod. Cheers
  20. Hi all, Got a misfiring problem with my old Baikal 12 O/U, I live in South Wales and was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable gunsmith in the area? Cheers Dawsie
  21. Just a quick hello to you all, got a few questions to ask shortly. Cheers Dawsie
