  1. The problems of pheasant shooting in Wales, will almost certainly move onto banning wildfowling as well. BASC is already on to this! Problems in the North of Scotland as well with wildfowling.

    Just thought of another I don't understand; young girlies driving aggressively in Fiat 500s or Mini's

    You never drove aggressively when young? I have to admit that I just might have, but only on very rare occasions. 😉

  3. Unfortunately, you say you are a United KIngdom body and make no real mention of the situation in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales. Only England. We are out there you know and part of the United Kingdom.

  4. People who have been on the Snipe and Woodcock days with Marco (Highbird 70) over near Pwllheli might remember Bob Tempest. Regrettably we heard he died in his sleep yesterday morning. He will be sadly missed on our shoot.

  5. My wife's Subaru Forester ('67 plate) has one and it seems fine. I hate autos but this one is very smooth and doesn't do that silly auto thing of changing just when you don't want it to because it is totally seamless. They also put this gearbox in the reasonably quick 2.5 turbo version so they must think it is strong enough. (Subaru don't use a belt in the 'box but a rather sophisticated steel chain)

  6. The thing is, does the start of the shooting sharpen up the wildfowl's survival reactions. If this is the case they are going to be equally unconcerned at the start of the season whenever that is.

  7. My shooting pal, his son and I were out on Saturday Morning, met at 4:30 and a little gentle walk out across the marsh to the side of the estuary main channel. It seemed oddly mild and calm. My pal ended up with three teal and two mallard, I missed a teal but was fortunate enough enough to manage a left and right (if such a thing is possible with a semi-auto) on a pair of Canadas.

     

    All told a pretty good start to the season. (Or it is all down hill from here)

  8. It might seem a good idea, but in Wales where they brought in this type of legislation transplant rates have fallen! I believe the same thing happened in Spain when they brought it in there. Be careful of what you wish for, what on the surface semms a good idea isn't always so.
