Spoke to to a farmer last monday,They are planting beans in the next 2 weeks weather permiting,.......... I cant wait, they must be sick of bloody beechmast now!

Can anyone legally act against them, and if so how can enough pressure be brought to encorage them to react. Dosent anyone know any pro hunting media people, theres got to be some somewhere. maybe the way to challange the lacs is to prove they know ****** all about wildlife managment/conservation.

The one on guntrader is in bucks, its a bit of a trek,was hoping to find one closer to my neck of the woods.

Never seen a sabre tooth bunny before,must be a throwback.

Was driving in the scottish borders today and happened to look to my right as I passed a beech wood, it was full of bloody pigeons on the ground among the leaves, I hate beech mast!

If the government can intervene on the highland estates and send in the cullers why can they not do so in a area where the deer are in poor condition due to excessivly high numbers, and have been for 2 YEARS... Am I being cynical in thinking that they dont want to upset the lacs so close to the hunt ban/general election.

Hi there, I am looking for a 20 bore E Rizzini m/c sideplate with 28in barrels 14 1/2 stock and single selective trigger, dont suppose anybody has one gathering dust somewhere? My father bought a 20 bore silver pigeon to repace the above and cant get used to it,so he wants another of what he has. Hopefully.................David.

I spent a wonderful afternoon in feb 1998 in scotland bolting rabbits to the shotgun,It was some of the best sport I have ever had, Went with a keeper friend who kept ferrets,was never keen on them before,but am now a convert, amazing little ******* .

Went roost shooting today with the local wildfowling club in the scottish borders,ended up with 250ish birds from 18 guns in 3 hours, Everyone was commenting on the large amount of birds in the woods,also it was very windy,and everyone fired a large amount of shots for said result. It looks like the pigeons have arived in this area,best of luck to everyone, regards David.

Have got one on my .22 air rifle and it is spot on, Dont know if it is suitable for a full bore ,but would have no hesitation on puting it on a rimmy.

I have a friend who is looking for a english side by side ejector ,webly & scott, bsa or similar must be 12 bore 14 1/2 inch stock right handed, max budget of 500, can anyone help out?................Thanks for looking.

I was out and about yesterday didnt see a thing in my area,Drove to st andrews to visit a friend in the afternoon, saw hundreds,The Fife lads must be loving it.

Sorry I didnt put enough info on my first post, she is my first gundog but my father has had gundogs fo the last 28 years, so it doesnt feel like my first, she is from working lines but I have no intention of trailing her,she is first and foremost my shooting companion (or will be)I hope,as long as she is steady and obediant I can live with most of the other faults, she is not gunshy,or hardmouthed so hopefully the trainer can help me with the rest, I will keep posting with progress,setbacks etc Hopefully, Dave

Hi there M Robson, Paul from north lincs is right they are garfish or needlefish to use another name,I lived in the Cayman Islands for 5 years {not far from cuba} and we used to catch them from the jettys when fishing for livebait, Hope you had a good holiday.

Hope that the gales subside before the weekend or your pop up hide could the uk's largest windsock, best of luck, Dave

I am looking for pigeon shooting land in the scottish borders ,north northumberland area near the east coast,SGL holder for 15 years Basc member for 10 years,references provided on request,

She is from sealpin and turramurra lines, We got her from a chap in the scottish borders who my father has already had a ess bitch from,ex keeper who still has an interest in working dogs.

She is 9 months and has just went away to be trained this week,It has broke my wifes heart,but I would much rather someone who knows what there doing trains her than ********* it up myself, and then having to send her to someone to be sorted out.

Have got a black lab now, many thanks to those who passed on advice. best wishes David

I was shooting on the blind side of a hill from a wood overlooking a rape field a couple of years ago,I was setting up all the{full bodied plastic} decoys and was in a hurry to set up the last couple,and had used a broken hacksaw blade that I found in the car to hold it in the ground. After about a hour I saw a buzzard a couple of times,and it dissapeared again after about another 10 mins I noticed movement and turned just in time to see the buzzard about 300mm above the ground coming over the brow of the hill, it hit the first decoy it came to, which happened to be the one with the hacksaw blade, The decoy shot across the field like a cork from a bottle and the buzzard was left with a slightly ****** off look about it, it then procceeded to fly off.

My father uses a 20 bore after a lifetime of shooting and the 3 geese he got on this mornings flight are testament to the abilities of the gun. He uses a 20 to better effect than most people I know can use a 12 bore. My father is 74 and spends all his time either wildfowling or pigeon decoying, he has used a 20 for the past nine years and has never regreted giving up his 12, I myself use a 12 and am nowhere near as effective with it. I think that at the end of the day you should use whatever works for you and if the barrels are pointed at the right spot they should both kill the target just as effectively.
