I use mail.com nowadays after I left my website fold. Seems very good aside from the odd advert.

They get frenzied and kill everything. Likely it was disturbed by someone or something. Also likely to be a vixen feeding a big litter of cubs. It is unfortunately how things. I would stay up and shoot her but that does leave dependent cubs if it is a vixen, I don't want to get into a moral debate over shooting vixens and leaving the cubs. Your problem now if you leave her is she knows how to get into the pen now and will come back and get in again.

Have a look on ebay you can pick up half a dozen pheasant eggs for about a tenner.

It's roasting in Shropshire. I've got varying degrees of farmers tan.

I haven't really got an issue with the price really I think it's fair, but £200 is a lot of money to me at the best of times. The dog running a squirrel up an oak tree a week ago and skinning herself has cost me £300 I didn't need to spend.

I'm not specifically after game cover but something like sunflower seed that I can have a bag in my pocket and chuck a few handfuls about when I'm out shooting and hopefully grow a little bit of wild bird feed. Ive got a few rough spots with decent cover but that could benefit from a little bit of something with feed value. Any ideas as to what would be best, sunflowers were an example but they do look nice. There won't be a prepared seed bed as such and I'm not after spending a lot of money.

I might actually. I'd have bought his ride one mower the other week if I lived in Norfolkbania.

I've got a John Deere R54RKB mower I inherited from my FIL and it is a beast, I love mowing the lawn with it it dies such a good job. However a little while back it stopped driving. A bloke in the village tarts mowers up and sells them on so I got him to have a look at it. The good news was the belt and chain drives were in great order. Bad news was the gearbox/transmission box needs replacing. The new part, next day delivery and fitting was going to be circa £200. I don't think he was trying to rip me off the part is around £125-£155 depending on where you look, plus the middle man will need to make a bit and the p&p and then he's got to fit it for me too. I was wondering if the PW mega minds know any really good mower spares people that might have a used part or a reconditioned part before I have to cry and buy a new one. It's a John Deere R54RKB and the part is SA34286 I think it's a 2008 model.

And me to @team tractor

Our last holiday in the UK was to just outside of Bath for a camping expedition. It was a really hot week and we had a great time. But it was quite expensive. We've been to Spain twice since and loved it. We're quite antisocial and fell very lucky, especially with the last place which was about 2 miles down a donkey track with its own private pool. It was a villa that belongs to someone I used to ride for so it was free. The downside was Mrs BTJ was quite heavy in calf so the heat was a bit much for her, it got to 38c some days. The following week when we went home it got into the high 40's! The food in France and Spain, especially in what looks a cheap place is generally very tasty whereas over here cheap food is usually a dirty fry up and a cup of milky tea.

I've no intention of buying a new gun browning or otherwise but you've got to love free tat 😂

Loads around South Shropshire which have tracked up from Welshpool.

Got mine Friday morning

Adams farm isn't real. I never watch it but for some reason it was on when they did a tour round the lambing shed. There's not another shed like his in the country unless it's at a college I can guarantee. If they showed the reality of sitting in a shed, in the rain, in February, bottle feeding a set of twins at 3am that you've had to wean because their mothers gone down with mastitis, whilst another ewe is trying to have a set of twins at the same time backwards then people might appreciate the effort put into getting meat on to their plates. Or the other reality of sitting in a shed all night whilst nothing happens 😂

I saw elvis waiting for a bus just outside of Loggerheads near Market Drayton a couple of years back.

And the whine of the gliders when they come over is surprisingly loud despite not having an engine.

Dodgy reporting again. The buzzard had a fractured wing and was full of shrapnel but they nursed it back to health and the kite had been shot 12 times. I'm not saying they weren't shot but the dodgy reporting makes me question what they were shot with. I'm not condoning it but legal shotgun licencees always get the blame when often it's a berk with an air gun.

I thought rooks and leather jackets to start with but being done over night I'd have to agree it's Billy bunter but he was probably after leather jackets. Unfortunately you can't shoot, trap, poison, karate chop, drop kick or poke them with spoons. Short of having a polite word or sending him an email you can't really stop the badgers. If it was leather jackets he was after though you can buy nematodes which target leather jackets.

In my cupboard of mystery I have come across a unopened tub of IMR 4895 and an unopened box of the above nosler bullets. Has anyone used this combo? I'm rapidly running out loaded ammo and if it is a good combination I'll load some up!

Could have been an air rifle and he could have gone to hospital for shock.

Wasp, they've been about a good few weeks now. As soon as it stopped raining it started warming up and the 20 degree temps are more than. Warm enough to get the stingy little blighters on the move. Treat with extreme prejudice.

On her own or with you 😉 Would love to go to NZ to live but the wife isn't too keen. She'd prefer a ranch in Texas, despite being of the ginger persuasion and getting burnt by daylight 😂 given ourselves 8 years to finish this place to a high spec and make it worth a small fortune and then the step daughter will be 21/22 and the baby will be 9/10 and finished primary school and then we'll look into going abroad.

Your budget is going to be your biggest constraint. If money is no object then the LAPS method sounds the best and would give you a niche. But if you're wanting to operate a small non bleed operation you're already quite niche anyway I'd imagine.

Shouldn't be too difficult depending on how your force operate and you're not trying to swap a slot for a 22rf for a 20mm cannon. Slight exaggeration perhaps but you get the idea. If you've got good reason for a deer calibre rifle there shouldn't be a problem changing between 243, 6.5x55, 270, 308 etc. Theyre all different but all deer calibre rifles. Trying to swap a 223 for a 243 would be a trickier swap and you'd have to show good reason for wanting to make the step up from a typical foxing calibre to the most readily available minimum deer legal calibre.

Poor lad....get him a glass for his beer 😂
