  1. HP loads have to be marked on the box and cartridge. Shot size will be larger than #4 shot AND have a greater load than 32g.
  2. TO BE USED ONLY IN STEEL PROOF GUNS. So clearly not an HP Load
  3. Yes indeed.......we are very lucky to have them.
  4. But it's supposed to be flying of the selves and boat loads going to Europe.....was that not what the Game Dealers thing ma jig's point of the Shoot Assurance Gold Standard..... MORE SALES ! Same as Agricultures Red Tractor Scheme crock of Sh!t
  5. Which was ? Just looked on Waitrose Webpage no game, lots of venison
  6. Chatting to a guy on saturday who'd been shooting on two estates that had gone all steel this year. He reckoned one still had nearly 800 birds in the chiller uncollected, they're still shooting twice a week wondering what to do with them. The other basicly giving them away. I guess i started on a commercial shoot then, it is a family shoot, that sell a day or peg or two to ease the pain. As to killing BOP i think more are killed on roads, certainly one spot near me, a (Dual Carriageway with a good rabbit population), you can find plenty of BOP carcasses .
  7. Out of interest what is your definition of a "Commercial Shoot" ?
  8. And as i understand it they're not taking much steel shot game either, but we knew that....didn't we.
  9. I visit The Farming Forum now and again and there is a thread on there of a farmer losting several cow and calf's to lead poisoning. Post mortum confirmed lead poisoning with no explanation what so ever. the land never shot over, no lead pipes etc. all obvious causes looked at. Other cows and calf's sharing the same the field tested showed no trace. Science can prove absolutley nothing
  10. So then held to ransom for substandard food, very logical.
  11. But did absolutly nothing.....
  12. Similar things have and are happening in agriculture, Orgs like the NFU, DEFRA, Natural England Etc. all set up to help farmers promote agriculture end up profiteering from and turning against the very people paying there wages. Then when there is a cause for them to use there "Expertise" all they show just how out of touch they are with there membership and pretty much throw them under the bus
  13. If the BASC are going offer me advise on hunting ,then i'm out ! Looking at the people employed by them over the last 20+ years or so they are no more qualifed than i am. Some of the films they put on The Tube and on there own website shows just how incompetant most of them are
  14. Vote out the committee at the next AGM,.......surely the club has an AGM ? I believe it has to have one
  15. Won't be renewing at the end of this month utterley useless organisation. Plus Bird flu is back by all accounts so looks like shooting will be in for another tough season
  16. NOOOOOO.............not the NFU you'll have to sell a kidney
  17. Went to the Gamefair with a coach load of dad's shooting friends many moons ago, and they got into a conversation with him on the BASC stand about the time they were doing the wildfowling ban, god what an arrogant vile man i thought he was. Thought then why would anyone join the BASC if that man was in charge. Also recall I met Jack Chalton at the same Gamefair Chalk and Cheese characters, got his autogragh somewhere.
  18. Only way is up i'm affaid. It lasted less than 24 hours, who in there right mind will insure boats sailing in that region. Putin just messing with the European Harvests
  19. Yes ! I use one for pigeons,Crows,Rooks and Jackdaws you can get extensions for Rook and Crow wings to spread them slightly wider but a slow/low speed is more important iv'e the remote fob so can experiment without leaving the hide. I find Jackdaws fairly easy to decoy with just a few decoys anyway
  20. But doesn't a large amount of are elecricity come from France ? We are as nearly deep in the number 2's as they are
