Hi there, Just applied for my .243 or .308 and have had an open license for .22 rimfire for 15 years but have no deer on my current permissions. I have been told that although its not a requirement officially its pretty much a requirement (unofficially) to do your dsc L1 but i cant spare the 2 weekends it takes. I would just like to ask deer stalkers out there what do you think my chances of getting the variation without doing the course? If i am successful i intend on advertise for deer stalking rights but am reluctant to go to the trouble and expense until i have the appropriate weapon for the job. Any tips of ideas much appreciated. Many thanks, Game_keeper

jus like turkeys then, that what they used to do in the good old days according to me mum lol

b b b b b bump!!!!!

200 yds actually mate , sorry havent replyed, had internet trouble, ended up wiping the whole laptop cos of a virus, so will take more pics today then get back to everyone. The gun is still for sale.

used to be able to use sheep panacure to cure it but they have stopped it now, unless you tell the bloke at the store you have a small group of sheep. Hope all goes well, they only have it when they are young as they can cough them out when they are older. Not sure what the name of the pheasant wormer is, but you just put it in your water source. If you use tanks then its help full as you can dilute it easily. just remember to tie the stop cock up Again hope everything goes ok, Rob

sorry, couldnt see, did he hit the pigeon? lol

Picture from combining the other week. I saw one fox ran into a wood and thought he would be long gone. I went over there waited for a bit then he came out of a patch of brambles no further than my barrels length away. He then ran at full speed away from me but the lead shot was quicker. The other one broke early aswell when i was walking next to the combine. Dad was at the top covering anything that ran out but i had a go anyway and bowled him straight over, was chuffed as it was a fair old distance espically as i was using a number 6 cartridge. Both dog foxes. Ended up with 15 rabbits at the end.

B...B...B...BUMP, Come on people, someone must want this gun, took it out friday nailed 14 rabbits and 2 foxes in one afternoon. Fox was taken at 50 yards with a number 6 cartridge and open choke and still knocked him over. My old man went over and finished him and then claimed it was his fox.

BuMp!

Thanks for the advise people. I am a good friend of the head keeper, so dont want to disappoint him. The person that i work for on saturdays is a good friend aswell so its a hard decision. I will have to tell the shooting instructor that i cant and that i had already planned on going beating. Thanks again for the advice people.

have you got any pics mate?

Hi there all, me bein me i have just found myself regretting the last conversation i had with my employer. I work as a shooting instructor on saturdays because my boss's other employee broke his arm and couldnt work. So i have been working there and was told it would last for roughly 6 weeks. Anyways he just phoned me up and was just chattin and i said i had just got my beating list through, so he goes oh so are you going to work for me or go beating, i said i would work for him just to keep him happy. But now im regretting it. So I have to decide whether to go beating or work for him? I want to be a gamekeeper and was hoping the estate beat at might give me a job. Anyways i was shooting there with dad this afternoon and dad has just told me that when i was out shooting the gamekeeper told dad that he is tryng to get rid of the underkeeper and employee me instead. So I dont really want to disappoint him and say im not going beating anymore. I was thinking of telling the shooting instructor that i would go along if he has a booking, but if not i would go beating instead. What do you guys think? Sorry if its a bit confusing. Many thanks, Rob
