Just googled recipes for game terrine, all pretty similar. Does anybody have any tips to make it special?

I feel for you, the good times you had with him with will always stay with you.

Down to earth people really relaxed. note its very basic a few traps laid out just walk round you shoot whatever traps you want. Bloke just takes money and sells carts from back of his car. Not snobby whatsoever

Went here the other week, not far for me in North Sheffield. Its nothing fancy, worth a go if you want a change. http://www.claypigeonshooters.co.uk/index.php/prices-and-membership/

I don't know anything about the lines for Labradors, I just remember having a video when I trained my first spaniel over 35 + years ago and it was John and Sandra Halstead (drakeshead) training labs, probably one of the first videos at the time. I don't have it now, think I loaned to to someone and it was never returned.

how much is it a sycamore for the 50 Sunday shoot?

My mate has just had a massages from Christian, Sandy Boar is closed permanently.

Thanks for that, probably why I cant find anything about it. There was one opened up at Tankersley a couple of years ago, similar thing kept getting vandalised, plus complaints from locals and planning issues. It was a pity because it was only 2mins away from me.

We go there quite often its a good set up and very relaxed. We live in North Sheffield so pre Covid we used to go out there and call for a Sunday lunch at the Mustered Pot on the way back. I heard there is a clay shoot at Thurgoland, but cant find anything about it, any body heard of it?

He's put Castleford in the advert if you read it.

I will have it, will PM you for details of collection.

My dog has just turned 2, but when she was the same age (6 months or so) I was in the car on my way back from shooting and the wife called saying she was running around the garden with a live magpie. The wife couldn't get it from her, she was 1/2hr chasing her around the garden before cornering her and the magpie flew off. At the time I thought this event was the end of the world. However, when I eventually brought her onto cold game and subsequently taken her on shoots she's been fine and wasn't effected at all by the event that day. So I would suggest you are worrying for nothing.

Thanks for the Info, think I will get one.

What would the maximum range be for rabbits?

Would anybody recommend a Yukon Photon RT 6x50 for ratting/rabbits?

I have had notification that one of the shoots I had paid a deposit for (in Jan) has been made insolvent....so the deposit is lost, unfortunately. A terrible state of affair. Roll on normality!

OK mate will do.

Never been worn New with tags Tweed Waistcoat Size Large £30 including shipping (UK Only) Sorry I don't know how to turn the pictures round I'm only selling because it too big for me.

All depends how much you want to pay, you can still get a new bench top Myford, but will set you back £2.5K. https://www.rdgtools.co.uk/ You do get what you pay for, agree Warco are a better than the really cheap Chinese stuff, depends what you need it for and how accurate you need to be.

Although they have a legal and moral responsibility to continue to feed the birds, the current situation is unprecedented and an incredible amount of birds will be left over. As JDog says a lot shoots wont throw more money at feeding the birds after the massive losses they have experienced. I have 3 let days in January where I've paid 50% deposit (this is the norm), I've offered to leave my deposit for days next season to help, just hope they survive. Will miss out on 2 syndicate days and 2/3 rough shooting days, all paid for in full, but not a lot of money. I wouldn't like to be running a big shoot this season, lots of sleepless night I guess.

You should be proud of what you have achieved with Ted. I think with any dog and owner, its the pleasure you get working together and not what other people think about your dog or you that matters, if you are both not perfect as long as the people who you are shooting with are happy with you and your dog being there its fine. Far too much criticism and snobbery in the gundog world and I've heard lots of stories about dodgy trialing judges. I love watching Spaniels hunt cover, watched clips of trial championships and those dogs are real hunting machines, but no dog could keep that pace up all day on a rough shoot or beating. Its about getting pleasure working with your dog whether that's trialing, rough shooting, beating or your dog sitting with you on your peg. I have get in few days formal driven shooting each season, but don't take my spaniel, not enough for her to do and she would get frustrated sat at the peg, plus all the waiting around. We have a small walk one stand one syndicate plus a small rough shoot/flight pond, this is where I love working her and we both enjoy a relaxed atmosphere where bird count at the end of the day is secondary.

I implore everyone to get out and support the shoots, we can travel in all tiers to shoot (in England anyway). If the shoot has followed the guidelines set out, there is more risk catching the virus visiting your local supermarket than out in the open countryside with a dozen or so people.

Mrs roasted one for me the other week, she put in the oven with a chicken as she wont eat anything I've shot. Anyway it was like bloody rubber, fed most of it to the dog..... next time I will cook myself, slow cooker I think.

Are you sure its not M25 x 1.5mm this is metric fine (fairly standard) 25 x 1 is extra fine think you will struggle to get this thread.

Birds will be stronger and fly better, I always change from No6 to No5 shot in Jan.
