mostly redlegs. But we do have quite afew greys as we put down 50 a year the brood of 12 were redlegs though

best year ever on my shoot acording to the boss every pair of partridge seems to have some young at foot best brood seen is 12 about 6 weeks old, average is about 5 though most pheasants have reared something aswell average is about 3 though biggest brood 7 and we have ducklings everywhere, seen some just hatched only last week a bit late as there in season soon had 2 pair of tufted nest this year for first time aswell this year one only hatched 3 and 1 survived the other hatched 5 all still going.

hi not posted for a while but have been about looking in quite a bit. first time out on pigeons this year decoying not really had time now i have took on a beat on my bosses shoot (other vermin been more important and getting everything else ready for the birds) and still doing the building 6 days a week. but the field looked to good to miss so i asked my dad along (been neglecting him lately) between us we had 431 and a crow and magpie. this was rape stuble.

we realseased 8 on our shoot last year 2 were shot and they were real good high birds

when ever i store blood for training i add salt to it as soon as i get it as this will also stop the blood congealing

i use express 32grm 5's for everything works a treat knocks down those long rangers with ease.

sounds like i need a new dealer only 15p for me but 65p a rabbit were ever shot

it does work for a couple of days till they get used to it, but i usually do this trick on drillings but i tear them up and scatter them about the fields a whole bird tends to bring them in rather than discourage them if you do do this make sure there are no roads footpaths near by as it will offend some people and is bad press for shooters

just spoke to him he wants an underlever sorry

is it a break barrel or underleaver? what ftlb is it doing and where abouts are you? a friend is looking for an air rifle so i shall have a word tommorrow

i shot 2 this evening while taking the dog a walk stuffed with peanuts and bread miles from any houses really

we have plenty of black rabbits around here and a few albinos but i have only ever seen 1 this couler and that was first to be shot because of it it was a 3/4 grown one and all rabbits in the same warren were normall couler

my springer had a nice big roach about 1lb from the canal one day when out for a walk and also had cray fish or should i say the crayfish had him

went out for the first time in about 8 weeks pigeon shooting saturday and had 217 on laid barley between me and my dad

i had just shot my first roe buck the day i joined Guess what i used

we also have them here in leicestershire caught 2 last year in my mink cage traps none this year yet

any chance of making me one up please DA. :unsure: .223

heres the reply off basc. Thank you for your email. There are no laws specifically banning the carriage of weapons on motorcycles. Obviously you will stick out like a saw thumb if you have a full length gun slip on your back and depending upon where you travel through, may pose a target to an opportunistic thief. I don't wish to alarm you, but it is a consideration, especially if you live in a town or city. The other factor is safety. If you did have an accident for whatever reason, the gun across our back may cause greater injury to you if for example you fell off. You may wish to break the gun into two parts and carry it in a small rucksack or sports bag. You will achieve a less obvious shape. In respect to sound moderators, you may wish to call Colin Shedden in our Scottish office, on 01350-723226, who will be able to brief you on Scottish law. Im afraid its not an area we have great expertise in down here in England.

have to say rammer i think PD is right on this one the squealing is ment to imitate a distressed rabbit. also i dont know about foxes coming up and sniffing the back of your leg but i have called a few foxes up to within a few meters at night.

I will in May yea im still waiting on basc. will let you now

thanks everyone i have sent an email to basc aswell asking the same questions still waiting for reply.

1039 yea Great game your right its adictive

1st Qusetion, Is it against the law to carry a gun in a case on your back on your moped? i beleved it was alright but was informed at college today that it was not, this was not by a shooter but some one who is really in to bikes. 2nd Question, what is the law on having a moderator on your rifle in scotland? last weekend i was in scotland with my friend trying to get him his first deer,on the way back to the cabin we bumped in to the gamekeeper of the neighbouring esate and he went mad when he saw one on my friends .243. he said it was against the law to have a one on any rifle bigger than a .22lr up there. any help would be great .223

could it have anything to do with only 5 mins after everyone turns on pd theres a new member also from west sussex and the first topic he posts on is this one.

i saw 3 white woodpigeons last year 2 were shot by my dads friend and the other i spotted on several occasions on a rape field. i also have seen white crows and rabbits.
