99.5f and around 55-65% humidity for first 21 days, slightly increasing ventilation as time passes. Don't go over 100f or you've got your breakfast. After 21 days, stop turning and increase to around 80% humidity and plenty of ventilation

No electric fence round the pen, either your "friend" is new to the game, naive or just bloody stupid Ok, you snickeled some foxes, great. Get one, another moves/spreads into the vacant territory, name of the game, you will NEVER get rid of all vermin, as you call them. Foxes will survive longer than we will Sorry to say, but, to me, no-one in their right mind, would erect any pen without an electric fence, just asking for trouble, for the sake of a few pounds to make an easy access for your friend/whoever. Cut your corners, pay your price

Don't think it's a fox. Snap and kill is their method and take one. The rest, just left where they lay or partially buried, until return. Fortunately, I've had no problems with mink, YET, only time though, but seems more like the culprit. Tawny's do rip the head off, but I've never known them to "stock pile". Got to think, a mink can climb and a female can get through a 2" hole!!!! A good, fish baited tunnel trap with Fenn 6 should sought out the problem. atb

Oh yea, just see me doing this Talk common sense, not **** . So, in your mind, when you check the trap in the morning, 40+ in there, you gonna leave em until it gets dark? Big round hairy ones :yp: Pool cue? A net and a length of 2x2 works just as well. There is a way to stop being "head pecked" on your hands.............if you really want to know Don't give up your day job

Oh, for gods sake. I've seen so many **** posts on this, it's unbelievable. Just put down what you know and ask them to check PNC for others, simples. Bloody law preachers, give it a rest!

Just for info. Corporate shoots around here, now approx £45-50/bird, that's all inclusive, bar keepers tip. Just got quote for birds, poults £3.50, no change from last year. Ex layers, mid/low £2, but emphasise, will need em well clipped. Do a bit of number crunching, say £30/bird, THEN see what happens. Be interesting how much subs will alter

Not sure if same one, but a mate of mine, had personal permission from a farmer, to shoot anything, sgc and fac. He got suspended from the pigeon club for the same reason. It seems if your not up their ****, your out

On a previous post I mentioned This place. I got exactly what I needed to mount my lamp. Ok, same stuff you can get from US and China, all made in China anyway, but this guy stocks in UK. Up to you where you spend your brass

You think mikky's got attitude? Try this guy. About time some of you wimps got gonads or just let them walk all over you! Youtube

AA...200tdi disco, fully comp, protected no claims......£154 :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

When my coterminous was up for renewal last time. I did not put down that I had been pulled for no mot, it was 3 weeks out, I only got my hand slapped, BUT, was brought up at the interview. Was not a problem, but told, I should have noted it. For an initial application, declare all and add "I may have forgotten some from the past or minor offences, please check on PNC" For renewal, it is only what has happened since last grant (5yrs) Edit....You used to actually get prosecuted for not declaring, happened to ex bro in law around 20 yrs ago

Youngest D, now 21, bought a Clio about 6 months ago, not passed her test, but good price. Sorned it, and kept it at my place, off road. Every week, I started and gave it short run, UNTIL, she passed her test last week. Now, you can imagine. Wants it ready last month So, booked in for MOT on Mon. Thought, give another check before, flat batt :o Tested, duff alternator, I bought one and fitted it, £135 later, ok. So had to rebook in for today. Dropped it off, went to check traps etc. Got back, to find it had failed on a broken front MacPherson spring. Got one from the motor factors and spent 3 hrs trying to fit it, no way :yp: Turned out, wrong spring Off to factors again to swap, eventually got it fitted at 16.30 and back down for retest........passed Back home, taxed it, she'd already insured it, gave her ring to pick it up. Arrived with a smile that would break your heart, and a bottle of red as a thank you, and away she went. mmmmm £135 for alternator, £17 for spring, £45 for mot and about 6 hrs labour by me :o I did promise to tax it for her 21st. Do you think I've made a profit :lol: :lol: :lol:

A small shoot? Offering 16 days shooting? You taking the ****? Work out your TOTAL forecast outlay, remembering that feed prices fluctuate, divide by the number of pegs, aint too difficult.

Theoretically, so is roost shooting, but has anyone being "done", through the general licence? To my knowledge,NO!

Most vixens, depending on where about you are, will be holed up now ready for cubbing or could have cubbed. The dog will be out hunting. Different to usual practice(Get the vixen first), get the dog. The vixen will then have to provide. Get her, then clear up the cubs. Shooting with a shotgun, totally legal, you will be have to be within reasonable range, and, as stated, wind direction and elevation are to be considered, unless, 100% sure on direction of incoming

Above, cobblers. Shot taken downwards from window, perfectly legal, no projectile leaving boundary.

I manage, in my, "spare time" , 2 web sites, on a very amateur basis, to just provide basic information. If you have the time to develop your own, there are many servers who will host for free with web templates. If you want a full blown, all dancing site, you will have pay for a "name", ie .com .uk and many others and employ(pay) a reputed web designer. There are, on here, a few webmasters, who will give you better info than I. Up to you

Just me and eldest D at home. Went on various "check water useage" sites, seems I could save around, on average, £150pa AND with the option of reverting within 12 months, so coming on monday morning(4hrs quote, this I gotta see ) to fit it. I'm with Yorkshire water, so will have to see how it goes. They're sticking up bills by about 8% and paying over £500 on band D now. A long while back, a shopkeeping friend in the village(Recently changed shop), had a demand for water rates, when she had no water supply, it was for disposing of rainfall into sewerage. Told her not to pay it, can't cut you off Never heard the result though

Nah, she's in a care home in Selby, t'old lass now 95 , but she did hate cats

In 2 years, I've had 3 of these, so called ex lags, with ID cards. I just tell em no thanks and "shout" at the mentioned 3 dogs through the door, to stay. Ok, they're in the back, but they don't know that, and the worst thing they will get get is a bad lick

Just goes to show, eh? Cracking video. Just never happened before with me. At least it gives me peace of mind, thanks to all He absolutely stinks(He's complete ).........but shift sticky rabbits? You bet! 21 gun salute.....no way.............or buried in the garden. Last time I did that with kids mice, ruddy badgers dug em up and ate them and then had to cover up the evidence

Weird thing this morning, fed dogs and went to feed my old Hob (I found him 4years ago, so how old?) and Jill. Normally, as soon as one of the water bottles is moved, they're out and about. But this morning, just the Jill. Filled both bottles and lifted lid to fill feed bowl and hob was curled up in it's "nest". Picked it up.....absolutely lifeless, eyes shut, but warm and supple. Thought it must have just died. So,after giving it a good shake to make sure, put it onto the lid of the court, went indoors to fill the feed bowl, back out, lifted lid with hob on top, and fed the jill. Picked up hob again, gave it another shake, nothing, so, off to wheelie bin. Just as I opened the lid, it was like popeye, 1 eye opened and looked at me, as if saying ***? Now running riot again Anyone else had a comatose ferret or is it on it's way out?

Big rant. I advertised my 2 remaining lab pups on Gumtree, the ad was removed after 1 hr, because it breached their ad rules, NO WORKING DOGS. The same ad went on Prelove at the same time, 1 pup sold in less than an hr. So, with a bit of a fib, my reply to Gumtree is as follows :- "I presume my ad was removed because it mentioned that the pups parents were working dogs. This did not apply to the pups, as per your biased, anti fieldsport rules. Again, some narrow minded people make up the rules, that affect one of the major participation sports in our country. It doesn't matter anyway, because they were sold with 2 hrs on Preloved, so you can stick Gumtree where it will really get stuck. Prelove rocks, Gumtree sucks!" Working dogs, firearms, basically, anything to do with fieldsports, is not allowed, so take note. Be interesting to see if I get a reply. Feel better now, rant over

In Scotland, they now have 28 days after the season ends, to catch up, ie 28th Feb. It is generally accepted/said, in England, that, at the end of the season, you cannot catch up, but 99.9% of keepers still wait until the season has ended (Scolopax, you must know the only one ) This subject has been discussed on many forums, including PW before. As far as I know, no keeper, anywhere, has been penalised for catching up after 1st Feb. I have been searching, out of curiosity, for a definitive answer to the "English" question on catching up, but cannot find any Maybe Dave BASC my be able to enlighten us, on where the exact law states this ruling?

Just out of interest, how many keepers do you know and who catch up during the season? I think I can guess the answer to both!
