  1. Good luck with your search and I'm sure someone will help you out. if I lived near to you I would gladly accompany you, all the best.
  2. Land-rover now that's a laugh. My freelander 2 had an engine management fault light up. When they checked the fault they asked if I was sitting down. Then came the big surprise. £1000 to put right. The abs braking unit was at fault. Internally there was a tiny value that had failed but the unit was not serviceable. By by land-rover never again.
  3. Its a bit hit and miss, there are some calls on their web site but I have found a few by searching the internet. just look for free downloadable mp3 files. down load them to your pc and its realy easy to load them on your unit. My advice would be to buy another sd card and load the new ones to this card. you can number them as well as naming them, good luck mate and let us know how you get on.
  4. I had a 2008 freelander 2 se. when I bought it I had nothing but trubble. In 3 years and only 8,000 miles later had 3 new clutches fitted. new steering rack, power steering pump, power steering oil resivour, new discs and pads front and back, wheel arche linners all round, new hydrolic breaking module, new reversing sensors, new electric door window modules all round, electric sunroof faults, rear boot locking fault. total amounting to over £5,500, only £3,000 was covered by warranty. This whole nightmare put my off from ever owning a land rover ever again. build quality very poor, customer service was the worst I have ever had from anywhere.
  5. Good luck Donegalcharlie hope you do well with it buddy, will let you know how my outings go
  6. My first impressions as I opened the box was that it's a fairly small and lightweight unit. It looks OK but doesn't have the same feel of quality as my nitesite spotter extreme does but then there's the he'll of a difference in price. The hand set has soft touch buttons with back screen lighting if you require it. The controls are very simple and selecting which call you wish to use is a breeze. Having up to a 21 character space per line is handy for naming all your calls and numbering them. I'm looking forward to downloading some and adding them to the collection although not having tried this yet looks easy. Then handset takes a standard 9v battery and the main unit takes 4x AA. It can hold up to 200 calls so having a favourite button you can store up to 6 at any one time from your main menu. On the whole it seems to be value for money but the real test will be to see if it performs as well in the field, fingers crossed on my first outing with it.
  7. You are allowed to pull in crows with electronic callers but not to shoot. I have just purchased the icotec gc500 after reading good reviews and utube videos. Off out fox shooting tomorrow night to see how it fares. I have tried the caller out in my back garden with the mouse call and my cats came running up to it sniffing at the speaker.
  8. Your lights were incorrectly fused to start with. I you were to electrocute some one you would be held responsible. A Cctv system would be good to collect evidence. You could set up high level pir unites to activate an alarm to wake you up if your in. Perhaps a water spray system activated by pir with coloured dye in it.
  9. Let's face it, Chris Packham is a laughing stock oh the shooting world. He's like a mushroom. Kept in the dark and fed ********. He has absolutely no idea and he still wouldn't know if it walked up and bit him on the ****
  10. A referendum has been held. The vote has been cast. We are out. That's it. Done. End of
  11. In my neck of the woods the crows are very cleaver. I shot one last year and it flew on for a short time before droping, after that they would come in so close then turn away. later i found the first one i shot was lying on its back and scaring off all the others. i dont leave any dead ones upside down now for this reason. I find that if you watch them from a distance with binoculars you can see where they are heading too. If you can get under thier flight line you stand a good chance of getting a large number of them. One of my best days on the crows and rooks was when they were flying in to feed on a newley seeded corn field. they were drifting acrross a field at about 15 foot high so I set up under a hedge row, placed a few decoys in the field with a few along the hedge row on existing posts and shot a good fifty of them as they cam in to have a closer look. As others have said, the main thing is don't get seen and don't even twitch until your target is in range or they will see you and be off. good luck
  12. The only way to realy find out is to get the ball rolling and see what happens. I wouldnt thought it would be a problem
  13. I have shot many rabbits over the years and my .22rf moderated rifle is a cheap way to go. I have put through the barrel thousands of rounds over the years with the odd ricochet here and there. Good back stops are paramount regardless of what round or calibre you are using. I quite like CCI segmented ammo in the .22 as it brakes up on impact.as for your application, as long as you have a signed letter from the farmer including name, postcode and phone number the feo will check his records to see if land is cleared and for what calibre. If not yet checked a site visit will be in order and it will usually go from there
  14. I have a .22rf and a .223cf the .223 calibre is a great foxing round and the ballistic tipped bullets an absolute blinder on the foxes

    Ebay

    I've had several emails stating my PayPal account has been suspended and to use this link along with my passwords to reset it. Contacted PayPal direct and they are dealing with it. Bloody scampers.
  16. Just seen this thread. Between my mate and I 70 so far this year. Last year we had a bumper catch, we shot over 300
  17. Hi all, I have just purchased a nitesite eagle system and was wondering if any members on this site have one. My main question would be, does anyone use a video recording devices to record their shots and if so what recording devices are a good buy and what sort of prices are they. Thanks for any replies in advance.
  18. As caravanman has said, this gives better cover and the ability to still see your quarry
  19. Foxes are chancers and unless you know their habbits its going to be a bit hit or miss. My friends and i have shot many foxes over the years using shotgun, 223 and 243 rifles. mostly night shooting with a lamp about a couple of hours after dark until the sun starts comming up. Field craft is a must unless you just want to take pot luck.our last outing we shot 7 in total.
  20. The price of having your belt and rollers replaced is minimal compared to the cost of repair if it snaps. The years and mileage limit placed on new belts are only really guide lines based on laboratory conditions, just like sell by dates on food. Its the gamble you take should you wish to play
  21. As I am getting to be an old **** now, I like my comfort so I sit and shoot from this position and find it very relaxing
  22. If your birds are dropping right in on your decoys and it's not very windy then they are great. I have two and if your on your own the second seat makes good for your cartridges and sandwiches. I've shot many crows and rooks this way. However, you do have a limited field of view for shooting. I was out once shooting rooks and the heaven's opened. Felt really good to be perfectly dry at that time. I mostly used mine for squirrel shooting with the .22 LR low level.
