  1. I'm amazed that your brother is a bunny hugger if he owns/ runs a farm!

    But your quite right, they suddenly change when it starts effecting them....

     

    Does anyone know how to put sound recordings up here on the I-phone?

    I had a funny incident the other day with my partner... She is not against shooting (else her horses would break legs in rabbit holes)

     

    But both her parents are bunny huggers. And are appalled that I hunt, shoot, fish ect. (So I bring it up as much as is humanly possible/ leave carts on the side/ turn up to say hi after hunting in full attire... You get the idea)

     

    If I could put this recording up you guys would find it very funny!

  2. Yes 9/10 was personal experience (but to be honest on reflection I would actually put the fiure at closer to 14/15)

     

    I am rather annoyed (to say the least) that it is the general leftist done thing to bee seen to be a bunny hugger!

    Which is why pepole who have no experince of it almost without fail 'form there own opinion' against hunting!

    This is the only side the media [feels safe] putting forward.

     

    I really think we must support one another as mark my words shooting, fishing ect. will be next!

  3. Twistedsanity... Your name certainly fits!

     

    You are missing something, as when hunts could hunt. The fox got away 9/10 and the ones that where caught where sick or injured.

     

    It also puts ALOT of money into the countryside. The number of nice little jobs (for local lads/ old chaps) that where lost was terrible. (I know of several such cases personally)

     

    May I add that if my claim to fame is marching into parliament square during a 'demonstration' in full hunting attire. Then I will be one very happy bunny!

     

    But I maintain my point that we must stand together. That's if we ever want our voice heard and not have lefty tree huggers wipe out ALL of our sports in good time!

  4. You would not change my mind, but that I because I have hunted my whole life and feel very strongly about it.

    I happen to know that Hidi does not have a strong opinion on the matter and Prier to the election had not expressed an opinion. (from a very nice local farmer who is a conservative member)

    I know it is slim but if I can do my bit and change her opinion... That's one good thing!

     

    Further to this, what about another march to parliament square in full hunting attire?!

  5. Recieved this from the local Conservarives MP:

     

    Dear Constituent,

    Thank you for your email.

    Although it is likely to be a free vote (should it be bought before Parliament), please be assured I would not vote to repeal the Hunting Act.

    I trust that puts your mind at rest.

    Member of Parliament for South Cambridgeshire

     

     

    Doesn't seem to have understood the question, thinks I'm an anti. Plus "bought" before?

     

    I had already sent an email before reading this post. But I recived exactly the same derogatory reply as above!

     

    Dear James,

    Thank you for your email.

    Although it is likely to be a free vote (should it be bought before Parliament), please be assured I would not vote to repeal the Hunting Act.

    I trust that puts your mind at rest.

     

    Heidi Allen MP

    Member of Parliament for South Cambridgeshire

     

    And my further reply:

    Dear Heidi,

     

    I'm afraid this does not put my mind at rest. I would urge you to reflect upon the largely rural demographic of your constituency, and vote to repeal the hunting act.

     

    I was aware that this matter would most likely come to a free vote, although I find this rather disappointing given the party's stance within its manifesto.

     

    Would it be possible for me to discuss this with you at your constituency office on Friday?

    (I understand you spend Fridays in South Cambs)

    If this is not possible, please propose another convenient time.

     

    Regards,

    James

     

    I pass her offices on a daily basis, so shall be 'popping in' untill I get a response!

     

    My I also mention SRS power's as allways brillant video on this matter: https://youtu.be/k9Uhuy2au3w

    As allways he has hit the nail on the head... If we want to get our generally quashed voice heard we must stand together on country issues!

    [by the way SRS if you are readin this it is James Baker from the comments]

     

    Where abouts in south cambs are you TriBSA?

     

    Opinions pepole?

     

    Many Thanks,

    James

  6. I'm also very glad to see you followed this up ;)

    Please do let us know the outcome.

     

    I personally have only ever experinced common sense with the police. (I'm supprised as well!)

     

    In fact I have on numerous occasions traveled across London on the trains with a SG in a gun bag (it was ovbious what it was). I consulted my FEO before the first time I ever did I case there was some kind of 'bylaw' for London public transport! He said "in a bag, no problem, I'd reccomend you take your ticket"

    I have never been stopped in London for it. The only time I have been asked is by the public. And they are normally just interested, or country folk themselves who see a common interest.

     

    But as stated above I would not think twice about correcting a miss informed copped on gun law. Because let's face it, I'm kosha, everything is in order and we know more about gun law than them!

  7. Thank you both, Spandit and welshworrior.

     

    I do have a dremmel, but I think I'll try the pin fial first, because I'll have more controll. And when I sanded the faces off the screws this evening to get the burrs off they seemed very soft!

     

    I do have a pair of electronic calipers at but not with me for a cupple of weeks (other house)

     

    I'll see how I get on tomorow, and post the result.

    It may well help opening them up, because the slots where far too thin for a normal screwdriver anyway.

  8. The only time I have shot foxes what's when my chickens where being taken.

     

    It was a vixen with two cubs. But it was safely and easily done. With her first and then her two cubs (I have been present on many occasion, and in my experience cubs will hang around for long enough if the vixen drops).

     

    There where several other foxes around my land/ house [i could tell you which ones would be where at what times. But they either where not coming out so early as to get my chickens before they went in or did not have cubs dependent so did not need to take chickens in an aria that they would have not felt comfortable in. (Due to dogs, humans ect.)... But it is also a risk for them as I have watched 4 cockerels see of a fox before!

  9. I am currently re- finishing the fore end of my gun. (Boiled linseed oil, and it is turning out a million times better than the spray on laquer it had before. I'll do the stock next.)

     

    But in thanking the mechanism out of the fire end (to re blue it) I have really knarled up the screws... (They where loctited in) Can anyone tell me what they are/ where I can get new ones (as I fear the state they are in, if I put them back in I'll never get them out again)

     

    Many Thanks,

    James

     

    [now that I have written all of this I can put the photos in... How do I do I add them?!]

  10. I'll ask someone in the know about this and get back to you...

    (My father owns an estate agency and lettings company) so should know if they are just money grabbing or have come under some kind of pressure from above themselves?!
