It means the horse is known to kick, and best to stay clear.
Figured it was a warning cheers

what does the red ribbon mean? I'd have liked it had the horse been ex police it probably would have jumped on him

Steve send green grass a msg, he obviously knows his stuff, his pictures in the picture section are outstanding.

She proper gave it to him and good on her, if a masked man grabbed me that would be my reaction beat the fatherless individual till they let go.

Interesting read, I've been on small diy shoots where every single thing was taken and your stood there hoping for a duck, and I've been on large days 250, I think of this as large, and seen birds being hung and everyone guns beaters etc takes a brace.
here is my idea, if the Estates can't sell their birds then they should advertise locally saying there will be birds available during the shooting season 50p a bird every Saturday dinner time, or Sunday say from such and such pub car park or the estate that way they aren't simply dumping birds, and they can't be accused of not trying to use the birds that have been shot, won't use up all the shot birds but better than what we have now, three hours maybe a week could just be different shoots doing it each week, can only be good PR.
the problem with game these days is people don't know it and an oven ready chicken probably costs the same as that strange pheasant thing.

the not leaving it to late really is sound advice, I'm sure with my old boy we could have waited but he was struggling to get up, quite a big lad and wasn't happy when you were helping him would grumble and try to get away which could mean him then falling over. As for food we had had him on biscuits and raw fed separately twice a day and he never missed a meal, on his final day he got breakfast as normal went for a walk just me and him, played around had a chat then the vets on the way home.
I'm bleeding blubbering in work now, damn dogs.

Cheers Stu, always interesting.
come on Dc what's your thoughts? You thinking of a fac in a different flavour?
-
Don't laugh, I got told last week when swimming to lick my goggles to stop them fogging up, it worked as well. Not sure how your gonna get your tongue in your scope and night vision tho, make sure no one is watching if you do.

The cross wind must have some effect otherwise you wouldn't need to aim off to allow for the wind?
-
I re read it a few weeks ago and thought everyone seems to say that .25 is less affected by wind than the .177, but that article says different??
it will niggle at you now so look forward to the results in a few weeks ??
-
You should have said, read all the other posts where you have already written this, I've read in a few places now of folk saying there using fac .177 air. Now just to make it interesting i said I would put this up and forgot, December 1992 Airgun World.
How is this for different thinking

Double wow, the nuthatch and great tit look as though there posing for you.

If you click on the pigeon watch logo, top centre of the page it takes you back to the full forum menu
Good man that's much better, thought it was just the logo, its like playing an escape room game, you have to touch everything ?
-
I'm using up my data allowance keep opening and refreshing pages, it would be better if the top left just took you straight back to the full menu rather than how it is, I also find i click on the wrong thing quite often, like I've just been on pork chops profile, I didn't want to but there you go.

Is there an area near where they park there cars? Try to put something really stinky there so dogs will roll in it then jump in the motors the'll soon stop going
that sounds good, maybe get a rotten dead sheep and put up a sign saying someone's dog did this!!
-
Your not actually going to snare, but would you let your dog run free if you were told there were snares in the field, this way your not telling people they can't let there dogs run loose, soon as you tell folk they can't do something they rebel, your giving them friendly advice to keep there dogs safe.

I have now gone over totally to shooting the 10.3s in my TX200 and they are super accurate and do the job. You can hear the THUNK at 30yrds on a hit on a barn pigeon.
At present killing must more effectively than the .22 VMX 14.66gr from the AA200.
cant fault accupells in my .22, never shot many pigeons but plenty of ferals, rabbits and squirrels body(20 mtr) and head at up to 35 mtr same with bisley superfield really good accurate and really hit things hard, just they didn't load well from the mag on my rapid.
-
Put up some signs stating snaring is taking place due to lambs/sheep being killed by foxes, ask people politely to keep there dogs on there leads as you wouldn't want them getting caught in the snares, they won't know you wouldn't snare around livestock.
-
I'm ordering a squirrel caller, there are a good few out there, given the numbers the yanks shoot there must be something about them, most get good reviews as well
-
Skinny male today, acting really strange as well, it was up above my bird feeders and looked like it was trying to catch a pigeon, 4 or 5 pigeons which flew away as it struggling up the skinny branches, came down onto the feeder, bang.
1536
It was in the branches up above the left spike on the conservatory.

How long are these pellets to get the weight up to that? I can imagine them not fitting in some magazines
-
I had a webley tracker a million years ago, put a Niko Stirling 8*56 on it, nothing but trouble, sent it back as kept loosing zero, they tested it and said its fine, that was on a .308 put it on an air rifle says I, new scope sent out which I promptly took back to the shop, full refund and bought a tasco, that's why I was wondering about second hand, but folk seem happy with them so worth a punt. Optics warehouse has also been recommended by a few folk getting new scopes at bargain prices.

Disgusting
in General Shooting Matters
Posted
I really like reading about shooting in the USA they may do driven shoots I'm not sure, but they seem to be more small scale, hunting rather than big bags.
I realise that shooting in this country is big big business but picture this for worst case scenario, Labour get into power and decide that only toffs shoot pheasants, they won't care less about the jobs that are involved, if its proved that hundreds of birds are simply being shot for sport nothing else how long before they ban it? This for me is why there needs to be a very public effort to be using the birds shot on shoot days in the food chain, its insurance for the future of shooting.
They tried to have a go at fishing then realised that was a mistake, millions of folk fish and most put the fish back, game shooting can't say that when there are 200 plus birds on the ground at who knows how many places around the country 4 & 5 days a week.
here is another idea, these big shoots have already charged £30 a bird? If they process these and freeze them then donate to charity either in this country or abroad could this then be claimed back against there tax bill? It would certainly look better than what may be happening now and help safe guard shooting for future generations.
