my point!!! The voice of reason I take it this comment may be indirectly aimed at me, I have shot more than my share of rabbits since starting at the age of 10 with a .410 and learning along the way all the time,your "voice of reason" post is therefore inaccurate. My comments had nothing to do with the actual culling of rabbits but the video itself, the marksmanship cannot be faulted. Since Kirky asked for my opinion we shared views via pm and in the main he agreed with me, again I point out it was my personal take on it but I do suspect a few others felt the same. D2D

Isn,t everyones balls as big as fists? There,s me thinking I was normal!!! D2D

Nothing against bikes at all, but agree that lunacy seems to take over the minds of normal everyday car drivers at weekends when the sun is shining and they get on a bike, all thoughts of family, kids, penalty points and next years insurance premium go out of the window. Do what speed you "think" your capable of on unrestricted roads, but obey the speed limits in the villages. Better still get a track day, show off to to your mates to your hearts content it wont cost us the ambulance then D2D

Hi mate you pay the postage Iwill send you one free, I got 2 out of an electric scooter thrown away in the skip brand new aswell Thanks for your kind offer Charlie but I have now bought new one, appreciated. D2D

You have pm. D2D

The general opinion seems to be that this is a great video, personally I found several aspects disturbing. D2D why do you find it disturbing d2d why? kirky As you ask Kirky I will pm you. D2D

No the case ejected normally, but into long grass so could not be found. There was a half hearted report which, as I said, sounded similar to a subsonic round. Now that I think back I asked the dealer a few months ago if anyone else had complained about misfires with Remmington yellow jacket ammo, he said he hadnt heard of it before. Its certainly worth noting if you use this ammo. D2D

So dont watch it! It is merely someone culling rabbits from range effectivley. So what if they buck and kick, are you telling me that in your hunting rabbits NEVER do that? Like the quote below? hows that any different from what this fellow is doing? I have absolutely no problem with culling of any kind carried out in a professional manner with due respect shown to the quarry, I did say that "PERSONALLY" I found several aspects disturbing, as I am sure one or two others did, if I wanted to enlarge on that comment I would have done so at the time. D2D

What you really mean is the "FOUR SPRUNG DUCK TECHNIQUE" Im sure some one will be along to enlighten you in a few minutes. D2D

Try the German coastguard joke on here recently ,that should help D2D

Today I have to report a very worrying occurance, while out this morning having some practise with the Anshutz semi .22 using Rem yellow jackets I had a partial discharge and the bullet lodged approx 5" up the barrel. Has this happened to anyone else? Had I pulled the trigger again..... it sounded just like a sub and at first I thought I must have mixed one in with the HV. I packed up and put the rod through it at home, out came the bullet. I am going to return my stock of Rems to my dealer and change ammo, Its not the first time I have had misfires, I cant cope with the thought it may have taken my face off. D2D that is real strange i have never had that problem and like i said earlier i have shot thousands out of my old ruger i supose it could happen with anybrand ,although i never liked remington firearms it wouldnt suprize me if their quality in munitions is going to **** , try federal ,winchester,or hornady when it comes to north american ammo thats what i like Hi thanks for reply, I am suprised that more people have not commented on this,but perhaps its just as well as it shows it is not a widespread occurrence. D2D

Hope you hung a few rooks up on sticks around the field, best and cheapest way of keeping the so and so,s away. and scores brownie points. D2D

I had a springer pup years ago that caught the Parovirus that was going round, it killed a lot of dogs then, the vet said the only hope after the treatment, if he was to live to any age, was to feed him just plain boiled rice and boiled neck of lamb, he did well on it and made it to 12. It might work for you? D2D

Setting up a permenant hide that you can sit in comfortably is very civilised on a summers evening. I did this next to a railway embankment about 50yds out in the field and just took pot shots all evening as they appeared, until it became too dark to see clearly. For this I used 4 angle iron stakes and some old chicken wire covered the lot in hession sacks split open, it stood there all summer and I shot there using subs and a mod once a week (even took a book) sitting on a plastic bottle crate, good sport and didnt cost the earth. D2D

As I understand it a caution has to be declared much the same as a criminal record so dont accept one unless advised to by solicitor (free advice from CAB) and there is no way the CPS will take it further unless they have a 110% prospect of gaining a conviction, try not to worry too much and best of luck. D2D

Unbelievable.....................you start training from the moment you get the puppy. Start with play training, obedience, hunting, chasing, socialisation etc. Then about six months it should start to get to get more formal in that you separate training from playtime/excerise. Always remember it is a puppy. You should feed the best quality puppy food you can afford for the first 5/6 months - this is the building block for you next 14/15 years for your cocker. You have obviously taken my comment literally, by serious training I meant as a gundog not general obedience etc. Many a promising pup has been spoiled by premature exposure to advanced training methods. D2D

Ahh Well spotted, wont buy that then. Thanks. D2D

Hi in my quest for a replacement to one of my ailing batteries I looked on Ebay and came across this 300095455433 there are 138 of them so plenty to go round, what do you think, has anyone tried these? D2D

I have one thats coming to the end of its useful life original Deben must be 15yrs old, what will you be buying? I would like some info on sourcing new batts at realistic price. Thanks in advance. D2D

On friday I was a little out of my usual shooting area and spotted uncountable amounts of pigeon flying back and forth with an unmistakable flightline, so being somewhat excited at the prospect of fresh land I made enquiries there and then intending to return that afternoon, I located the farmer and spoke to him via mobile and guess what he said...... bearing in mind his crop was being decimated, "Im really sorry but I cant let you because a group have paid for the pigeon shooting" I asked him where they were now while the damage was being done and he said "they only come occasionally when its a nice day" Can you believe it, I asked him to keep my number and to call me next year. Do farmers want a reliable pest control service or a few quick pounds? D2D

"I say Wabbit" A seriously good days shooting and a nice job on your gun did you do it yourself? I have replied on this post because I dont have the time to trawl 3 miles to the right looking for the reply button on your post D2D

The Irish talk sense! I'm not seeing the numbers I use to .England is over populated with housing estates and has'nt the fortunate open space like most of Ireland and Scotland so I can't see the point in shooting them for the sake of it on my patch if they are,nt a nuisance during their breeding season . :( Perhaps us English should embark in large numbers to Ireland and Scotland and bring your fox population down a bit to our level Tin Hat Time They seem to be drawn to easy pickings, a keeper aquaintance here in Kent told me he had shot 400 on his estate last year and was expecting to shoot more this year, for what its worth I dont see the point of any leeway the cubs will be shot in due time anyway.

Nice work, without wanting to sound patronising you seem to be a useful chap to have around, keep up the good work. D2D
