  1. Buy a forester sti turbo its faster and more mpg will go more places off road your paying for the name my mate had one real piece of **** in my eyes sorry to be blunt. look on u tube they have the sti up against the cayenne I think you will like what you see.
  2. just a thought besides liver fluke maybe picked a yew berry up seen it in cattle couple times dead in hours. no reason why a buck would not eat one.
  3. Hi you wont go far wrong with the forester cracking reliable motor s turbo here 2 ltr year 2000 176.000 0n the clock parts are cheap if you look around but you wont be looking very often as they are indestructible this is my second one as 1st one was tail gated by some speeding moron. 28mpg is best off road ability will put most other 4x4 to shame. Why do you think most coursers use them lol . good luck with any choice you make .
  4. Just to let you guys know they are turning up this last week seems numbers are building slowly so going to have a go later been watching some rape and barley just hope I pick the right spot.
  5. I have bought galvanised dust bins off e bay and put legs on they cost me tenner each drilled hole for spring use a bungy strap to hold lids on working well can get 50kg plus in them. I have made sure I have put them in places where I know I wont move them so they wont get damaged as they are a little flimsy if thrown about. I can see they will last a long time this way.
  6. Hi the name says it all lol topgunners well done sounds like your going to have some more good days ahead. Well done guys.
  7. Ah well all we can do is sit and wait see what happens we will be cutting rape in 2 weeks see if things will pick up then. Trouble is I wont be the one shooting if it does pick up Shame but that's the way it goes when harvest starts. Hope I get chance when we start cutting beans a bit later. was out shooting clays on an invite this morning gosh 23 out of 50 they seemed real hard saw some pigeon on power lines when arrived about 20 ish sat over wheat they went off on first bang never saw much flying about after that and was there couple hours most strange.
  8. Hi yes have about another 4500 acres of surrounding farms to shoot over but like I said im just not seeing the big numbers. I shot good bags 2 years ago of 200 plus 3 times a week before I started harvest on layed barley wheat and rape. and beans when cut. I travel around in the old motor a bit looking but i can honestly say ive not seen anymore than 30 birds lift of any barley or wheat round here. birds are flying in from all directions and only the odd 1 or 2 here and there. im not the only shooter over this land there are 3 others and they even say the same one of the guys has other land besides and he is retired and shoots 5 days a week when he can and he says he is not getting big bags either the 2 others only shoot now and then so i know the ground is not over shot. Its been like it for a while now just wish i knew where they all are or whats going on.
  9. Hi not much about round here plenty of good crops but not much pigeon about I have never known anything like it. for the last 18 month its become very quiet round here I run a small shoot on 1000 acre and also work on the farm. There has been so much talk across the country about pigeon numbers getting less I don't think iv seen a large flock for maybe 2 years now. I wish I knew what was going on. we grow Rape beans and wheat so plenty for them to choose from on the farm.
  10. looking real good I would put some rides in if it was me with tractor and topper when ready. so the birds would love that all mulched up. I use maize on all my strips and top rides out when in cob I start narrow and slowly make them wider as season goes on bird go mad when its all smashed up ad all seed is scattered about. I top about 2 days before every time we shoot so plenty to pick over.
  11. Hi I set all mine up using ibc s best thing I ever did get in touch with GAMEKEEPA feed and supplies ask for there cat log they have everything you will need and are very well priced hope this helps there contact number is 01827 383993.

  13. Very good read, please may i ask what scope you use.
  14. Its a good wood with scotch pine down one side and good hedge down other with round bales along the hedge aswell. And good ground cover i was hoping to get away with 25 mtr x 10. yes has good roosting trees too.
  15. Hi Guys, please can anyone give some advice i want to build a new release pen for 150 - 175 max. i can only go 10 mtrs wide. length is no problem. so how long do you think i should make it. Any advice and tips would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. Many thanks R.S.
  16. Hi steve i try your local country pubs thats what i do if i dont get cash i get a free meal and some beers now and then.
  17. Agree with above. on my land i shoot i make hides out of old pallets and then leave them there so only have to put my nets round them. then end of season take them down. hope this helps.
  18. Tent poles or a stick from the hedge its all i use. and cheap and works ok for me.
  19. Not seen any horny pigeons round here yet !!!. Old boys have told me they will breed all year round. All the birds ive shot the last couple of weeks on rape are all very young still. the older one seem very wise to my decoys.
  20. Hi happy new year to everyone. Does any pw members use the two man pop up hides !!. with all this bad weather was thinking of getting one to keep me dry. any advise. im six four so not sure if they would be to low and restrict me in any way.
  21. Smart job think im going to copy you at that price
