  1. So I am getting an itch for a 4x4 again. The last two years I have run a van and been very happy, particularly as I get nearly 55 mpg. I have only once had a problem on a shoot but have had to rely on others for some of my adventures. So thinking of a 4x4 in addition! Whilst not a lover of land rovers for comfort I have seen some good Defender 90s about at 20 years old. Alternatively an older Isuzu is a possibility and will offer greater comfort. Assuming I buy a vehicle in good condition what are the members views on longevity of Defender/pickup? This isn’t my principal vehicle and I will keep the van too. thanks!
  2. Hi , Pal of mine has one he has been thinking of selling for sometime. I have no idea what it is but could ask. Not sure if he would want to ship it mind you. they do come up for dale over here from time to time.
  3. I have an unopened box in 10 bore and a part box for a 2 5/8” hammergun I bought. I fired a few then held them back, loading my own. The smell of a fired case would make you high 😂😂
  4. Enjoy your time here and don’t be too serious!
  5. My son was until recently an area manager at Poundland. He said the problem is the associated violence. His attitude was items can be replaced but his staff can’t. He would sooner somebody walked out with stuff than a member chased them out of the shop to be stabbed! He was constantly dealing with staff being threatened or worse
  6. Contact William Wykes at Wigtown Wildfowlers he is a punt gunner and has a lot of knowledge incl steel.
  7. Yep get to a rental place or a place that specialises in vintage clothing. The Ballroom Emporium Oxford would be worth a try near you.
  8. A pal of mine breeds and works them. He is a seasoned dog man and was A Panel spaniel judge. He always describes them as a handful so……..up to you! I know people love the minor breeds thankfully but there is a reason most fowlers use labradors!
  9. Ever thought of taking up fly tying if you don’t do it already? Wets the appetite for the coming season when hopefully the weather will be better for a fly rod!
  10. That is fantastic . If we hadn’t been away I would have come over for a look. Hope it goes well!
  11. Occasionally had crossbills on my shoot in Oxfordshire.
  12. Love the lambs foot knives
