Thanks @Cranfield for the reply!!

Hi All, Managed to land permission on a big arable farm showing high numbers of pigeons (seen them myself). Wanted to ask how everyone found game dealers to take there pigeons? Don't want to get ahead of myself but wanted to know the process, if you need any licences or training etc? And if anyone has any recommendations in Gloucestershire? Many thanks, CF

Hi All, Just wondering if its possible to get insurance for a pick up as non commercial (ie social only) as prices seem very high and I was wondering if it would make a difference? thanks , CF

Hello all, Abit of a strange one! Although it is very popular to change from shooting side by side shotgun to over and Unders, has anyone heard of anyone changing the other way i.e. shooting over under and changing to side by side. Ive shot for many years with an over and under (9 years). I prefer the looks of Sbs and would like to change. Any advice?

Right handed one for sale by Cotswold Country in Cirencester glos

Maybe try this question in "Gameshooting and shoot management" section?

Hey david would you know the rough mpg's of jimnys

Lots of great advice and some really thought out suggestions. For the milage I have to cover (Cornwall to Gloucester) I believe a 1.3 Jimny engine would be too small. I do like them a lot and know that they are very capable vehicles but I would like something with bit more Poke. The biggest problem I suffer is insurance so a pickup maybe be too unobtainable. Which sadly means I will have to steer away from the commercial vehicle route (i.e. pickups and defenders). I think I will look at Grand Vitaras 1.6 & 1.9dds Discoverys (although i am not very mechanically minded and will not have any tools up at university) or a newer style Terios with the 1.5 engine If anyone has any experience or horror stories I would love to hear it and all in put is welcomed

And also would an EX-MOD Defender be a good way to go? or would they be a bit hit and miss

With work and Selling my VW Golf I could probably manage £7000 but that would have to fact insurance. So maybe £5,500

I think I suffer from the love of the prestige and the image of having a defender over its shortcomings. If only ever driven them on short journeys and have never had to deal with the problems associated with owning them. Im currently at Agri uni so your cars image does make a statement. An Alternative I would be looking at would be a pickup something like a Ford Ranger where I could get a much younger vehicle than with defenders. So maybe I should get one when i'm young and free?

So discussion time, turning 21 in summer and I would like to buy a defender. I would do some off-road use in winter during the shooting season, however I also have to cover some motorway miles to an from uni. My question is which model would be the type to look for as I'd need to balance the cost of buying one, running and if a defender would even be a suitable choice? Thanks in advance would love to her your thoughts.

Wow thank you very much stuarty boy that's a very kind offer, and il gladly accept as long as it isn't an inconvenience to you at all?

Hi guys just wondering if you had any suggestions of some books I should be reading in my spare time (If I get any) to supplement my game keeping apprenticeship? I know there's a lot il be learning, but other sources aswell will give me the best chance to really do well. Thanks in advance
