What a cracking idea ...

I believe they do

Going few times next week if anyone fancys it

Was a cracking day,bar 2 boxes of 22lr I completly emptied my ammo stocks hot barrels all round and a really enjoyable day. Topped of with a lovely meal. Ps just picked up a bag of parsnips for future zeroing....

I love this garden shed designing theres some really good product made from nothing that incases out do there mainstream counterparts ,,,nice design

Cracking write up, lovely sika ....

Cracking dog so far well done

I think when you hear work people think about days picking up at a 200+ bird day not the case, letting a younger steady dog help with the odd bit of dogging in or picking the odd rabbit when lamping when there about a year this is no harder on there body as the training they recieve. Just be sensible

At 6 months i introduce a bit of working for the right dog there is no set rule but as all things in moderation but light work wont hurt but a driven day not worth talking about. the rule of 10 mins of training is more down to the attension span of the dog just take it easy simple as that

Deffo not if its not even been introduced to fire seems a silly question if its not partially trained a little working for a 6 month old defo wont do any damage no different to then running around like idiots at play time

ive got insa special tracks noisy but brilliant in the mud

No ground game to be shot inc foxes to many near misses with beaters etc

If its been introduced to gun fire and is fairly steady/ok around other dogs a days beating would be a good start , or a night lamping but its really hard to say without seeing /running the dog I have 4 labs all at different stages 2 brother who are just turned a year one is already out and about happy to use him whenever needed but wouldnt expect him to sit on a peg just yet but other would happily sit all day but not quite as good at picking up ...

If you need a17 to carry out vermin control at further distance then 22lr then there is good reason if not waste of slot and money if your thinking foxing forget it a 223 will be far more usefull good luck either way

I use poultry lamp on a long para cord that way I have bit more control over heat lengthen shorten even left to right with extra hooks. if ive got gas left from pheasant sheds ill use them with gas brooder but electric mones are fine and cheap to run if near a power source get yourself a thermometer and leave in shed just to keep a eye on them. in summer I very rarely put heat on in the day as it is useally spot on but my sheds are insulated and hold heat well the odd day this year doors and side hatch was left open untill temperature started to drop just watch the pups nody language and before u know it there 8 weeks and there starting to go

I had one very early on before group buy came up used it once and it was sold,member on here i believe, really dont think there that good certainly not for the larger gentlemen ,,,

I had a video on my old phone of a pigieon sitting on a eye bright yellow spinning bird scarer going slowly around flags gas guns kites work forabout a day or 2 Iin my experience ive used a second magnet with carrier bags on recentyly to good affect but proberly not good enough to warrant carrying extra kit ..

A cross doesnt mean a 50/50 split it may end up with all the bad points from both parents......crosses are not all bad Ive seen some crackers also seen some very well bred dogs come to nothing not all dogs make good gun dogs but 99% will do the job.

If your coming over to whitttering thursday your more then welcome come plink a few rabbits with me round the day of

Supricing how quick 2 of you can bit a 1000 odd worst bit if its to cold to bring chicks out of heat have to stay in shed with heat but as said youll get quick one or two sheds of pheasantd isnt that hard work partridges are bit more delicate . As I said ill do 1000 odd every season then buy up late poults to top up for one shoot the other shoot buys in poults as thats how farm likes to do it but is more expensive . I look at it like this im getting paid wotever so if im rearing birds or digging drainage aslong as all the jobs get done and theres birds in the day on the day and everyones happy ..job done best job there is well most days

I better add i suppose when it does go wrong it happens very quick ive known 100s to be lost within hours or a thunder storm partridges are whorse but thats another story but most seasons go with minimal loss

I always do 1000 ish plus buy poults very late on ,day olds arent that hard work once you are set up dont use electric use lpg youll only use a few bottles aslong as the temperatures right and you watch how they are acting takes a while to learn but not brain surgery i always bit all birds it doesnt stop pecking but certainly helps , 500 day olds can be kept in a 10 x 8 shed quite happily then add a fair size pen job done ,,,,well kind of onces you get going its not that hard

No problem, just let me know when your free

Anyone up for a night this week ideal if your just looking for a few bunnys for the pot This is genuine offer foc worse case scenario you have to buy me a cuppa .... Cheers all

On most farms I keeper weve managed to get rid of the rabbits so any I shoot now are useally left for charlies later in the night so being to much is not really a issue for a proper rabbit session id use hmr/22lr im looking for a nock about rifle just want to know how 22/17 hornet compare or is there no real difference other then ammo/rifle cost cheers
