I'm sure nearly everyone has read this and a lot have contributed to this and other similar threads for some time now and it has got nowhere. Unfortunately BASC in there wisdom considered it was a no win situation from the start rightly or wrongly and now the result is out of there's and our hands. I'm sure if compulsory membership through local clubs were to be abolished BASC would possibly have had a reason to commit fully and try and fight it on behalf of members and show they wish to be "the voice of shooting" . After over 50 years with WAGBI and BASC i see no point staying next renewal.

Bit late now we all know it's job done. I've said before it's a shame Basc took the path and decisions they made before asking the members although I'm sure the end result was inevitable.

🤔. Intrigued now.

There everywhere those and pushy big issue folk really annoying . Can't resist it but was your slip showing ???.

Hi. It's a huge task 300 acres. More important to be seen on the ground now you've got it. As has been said above but maybe drop some 6 ft garden canes a couple of hide nets in a plastic bag and clips at the furthest points then travel light with a seat, flapper, battery and a few decoys. You can move around as required then.

Me too. But it may be a better idea to make some areas a private community (members access only) as some of the stuff on here doesn't do us any favours in the public domain.

There should be some good deals on fujitsu servers.

I don't think well see any of the alliant range of powders for some time if at all. You could try Villavori there's some of that about but very little data available.

Go on then I'll be first. No idea how she does it.

think you have hit the nail on the head, the fields around here are just mud, pigeons dont like getting thier feet and feathers balled up with mud. I think also there's so much stubble and odd bean fields they couldn't get on and are still flooded or inaccessible. There will be huge acres of spring drilling come march .

Plenty on rape here. Not really committed yet though put them off and they don't come back. So much rain and very few dry days doesn't help. Hopefully dry cold days coming soon.

Last lot i saw months ago were £69 plus vat all gone now though. I was told portec couldn't import them from China due to a change in the explosive import rules.

I've had the same issue recently mine was a break in the wire to the unit from the battery If the remote is lighting up it's working then check the wire from the battery to the unit wrapping it round the flapper when you put it away will cause it to break internally after a while.

Suspense. Someone knows. Just another no idea bodge it and walk away . Big pension no remorse.

Hi. Yes it's still crop protection. That's it they've been doing trials for a while. Most of it has died of recently around here but where it has thrived the pigeons are feeding around the outside of the crop. One farm has sown lupins in with the rape and that will be really good when it seeds and the pigeons find it. Whether it will reduce the flee beetle remains to be seen.

Or the fish one. 😂.

Just get yourself a flapper. Less to carry and far more useful. I'm no fan of magnets except on laid barley. But others will disagree.

No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!. Ahh.!!! Your right. 👍

Lovely plumage. 😂

Norwegian blue ????.

Sounds like thistle seeds from bps set aside or game crop mix. Loads round here.

I'm the same. You get a good feeling knowing you taken them safely to where your going then its up to them.

Yes. And it looks like Cameron is coming back.

Not many. Us old uns are probably the only ones who can afford it and do regularly while we can before the nursing home takes everything off us.

🤔. I had a similar experience recently. I'll never go again. Would it have a clay ground attached to it .
