I have sent you a PM

Ok, no problem. I will buy them and pay postage if you change your mind
-
I’m interested if you would post? How much are you looking for?

We did this a few years ago, in a very similar situation to you.
We kept the birds in the pen for about three weeks, then set up the same feeders and drinkers that the birds were used to out side the pen, and released a few birds every day until they were all out. We found that feather pecking was more of a problem, so we used to give them other things to peck, like cabbages, kale, maize cobs etc and tried release the more aggressive birds first.
It worked ok, and it gave us an extra drive for a couple of years.

Grower pellets £354
Poult pellets £324

The first batch would only be 11-12 weeks old when you release the second lot, so the first birds would probably be still in the pen most of the day. I have always been told that you shouldn't mix age groups of birds in the same pen due to disease risks.
As above, the best option is to extend your pens if possible, and release in one batch
-
Last season was particularly bad for holding birds, mainly due to the amount of natural food around in the autumn.
Why don't you see if you can have a mix of bazanty's and blackneck's, then you will see how they compare in flying ability, and how many of each end up on the game cart?

It's a Tecumseh

Sounds like the problem you have is the flushing point is too near to home for the birds. I don't think that the sewelling on the bank will make the birds fly any higher, but if you can put some sewelling further back in the drive to flush the birds earlier, and further away from wherever they're heading to, that would probably help.

Starlock washers, just got some from ebay for mine

We had this on a 2007 FL2 at about 70,000 miles, Land Rover quoted about £2k for a whole new diff. We got it repaired at our local independent Land Rover specialist, who supplied and fitted a repair kit, for less than £400. The car was fine after that, and it was still ok when we sold it at about 130,000 miles

In a **** turn of things the other half is out of work and i have six months a 70 mile round trip away plus a 25% pay cut.
If you're travelling to the same place everyday for work, it will almost certainly be viewed by HMRC as normal commuting and you won't be able claim anything
-
Interesting. My accountant told me I may be better off by keeping a mileage log than simply keeping all receipts and claiming it back through expenses.
If you're self employed you can choose to either claim the business use percentage of the actual expenses, or work out the amount to claim using the official mileage rates

I don't think rabbits are a problem around release pens, but they can do a lot of damage to cover crops, particularly when the young plants are emerging

I will donate a days pheasant shooting for one gun on the syndicate shoot that I run in Northamptonshire. It will be a fully driven day during the 2017/18 season, and the bag should be 50-70 birds depending on the date chosen. We are releasing less birds this season due to some scheduled forestry work, but we will do our best to give the lucky winner a good day.
The winner will need third party liability insurance (as provided with membership of BASC/ CA/ NGO etc) and a current SGC.

Rented 17 months in total. Tenants vacate 11th March.
It will depend on how quickly you can sell it, it's the last 18 months of ownership that qualifies for PPR regardless of use. Assuming you can sell it fairly quickly it sounds like you will have little or none of the gain chargeable to CGT.
If there is a small taxable gain, it will offset against your annual exempt amount (£11,100 for 2016/17) assuming that you have no other capital gains in the year.
-
My understanding is that CGT is payable on any capital gain, but there are exemptions and allowances; one exemption being if the property is your principle private residence
As above, you will be able to claim PPR relief for the time period that the property was your actual residence, and also the last 18 months of ownership, regardless of how the property was used. Work out how many months you have owned the property in total, then work out how long it was your residence and add on 18 months. These two figures will give you the fraction of the gain which is covered by PPR.
So if you had owned the property for 96 months, and lived in it for 72 months plus the last 18 months, the fraction would be 90/96. This would leave 6/96 of the gain chargeable to CGT

There's a feeding guide here:
http://www.heygatesfeeds.co.uk/pheasant-feeds/
Bear in mind that Heygates use 20kg bags, but some other suppliers use 25kg bags.
Last season I paid £3.50 per poult, £288 per tonne of grower and £260 per tonne of poult pellets in 25kg bags. I haven't had prices for the coming season yet, but no doubt prices will increase a bit

Some stubble fields are being left for spring sown crops round here in an effort to tackle blackgrass

As a working man's DIY syndicate it's difficult to get the time off at such short notice. No one lives on the doorstep. One member was hopefully going up this morning with his spaniel, if he was rained off that is.
In truth, it's unlikely we'll find out what has gone on.
Yes to both. Both our pens are padlocked.
Personally, I think Charlie has scared them witless and they have gone over the wire, with the pop holes closed any wanting to get back in couldn't. Consensus from the majority was to keep the pop holes closed for a few days.
You're probably right, especially if the pen is intact and the pad locks are still on. 250 poults would take a fair bit of catching and moving, if someone had taken them you would be able to see the evidence inside and outside the pen.
-
Sorry to hear that, is the pen near any roads or foot paths? Happened on our shoot several years ago, but the rumours said it was revenge against the farmer at the time after an argument in the local pub. Haven't had any trouble before or since then. We keep our pens locked now, won't stop anyone, but makes it a little bit more difficult

What energiser are you using, have you looked to see what voltage it should be producing?
