Like most folks I’d imagine , I’ve been having a clear out, i have found a few bottles of sloe gin I made back in 2009, they look ok, some sediment on the bottom though , would these still be drinkable or not? is it worth trying to filter the sediment out ? ive also found two bottles of sloe whisky! I vaguely remember using up some cheap whisky to do this as it was unpalatable to drink (Christmas presents from distant relatives 😭)

It is however unfortunate as the term Asian covers a huge group of people, I have an Indian heritage Sikh friend who is incensed by the use of the term Asian to describe these offenders.

It was a fairly obvious observation about laws not being enforced because the perpetrators come largely from minority ethnic groups surely ?

Anyone else watched this ? Highlighted the numerical connection between traveller sites and crime rates. Including the observation by a police officer that ‘95% of hare coursing’ is done by travellers. not a surprise to many I’m sure, but really shines a light on the problem.

I’d also agree they will trash garden, it’s worthwhile building a large run and putting straw down for them to scratch around in and perhaps letting them free range in the garden acouple of times a week, just don’t forget or lock them back in when they roost in the evening 😉

I brought 6 ex battery hens last year, they were approx 10 months old at this point when they were due to be slaughtered for pet food. They were in a right state, looked half plucked, large combs . After just a couple of months they feathered out, settled in and have been laying very well since, getting an egg a day per bird for the last month as the days get longer. keep food contained and don’t leave scraps around and they shouldn’t draw the rats in 👍 Totally agree with this 👍

I’d second that ref the dedicated lure rod. You’ll quickly get bored of using a carp rod casting every few minutes 👍

SOLD, thanks Jono, nice to meet you 👍

They’re too big to post without spending a fortune, sorry gents! Couple of pics, wife’s been whinging they’re cluttering up the greenhouse (been in there 5 years and she’s just noticed 🙄)

Two metal professionally made Larsen traps, need a clean but working, £30 the pair, collection from ng14

Still looking if anyone has anything 👍

Cheers 👍

Hi all, just putting the feelers out, is there any roost shooting available within 50 miles of Nottinghamshire ? (Saturdays in Feb)

They’re spot on, I’ve got a new shape hilux, great , been to the south of France a couple of time’s i it . Yes it’s bulky to park in tight spaces and thirsty but I can’t fault it, loads of room to Chuck all manner of kids things in.

Yeah I’m feeling that too, there’s just not enough time in the week with work and family commitments , I shoot and fish, the last year has been a stuggle time wise for various reasons. I’m hoping 2020 will be better. I don’t want to stop doing either!

Hi Ben , you’ve got second dibs if the other buyer doesn’t confirm, cheers, Glyn

Kids Jack pyke field jacket, size Xs , fits 5-7 year olds approx (my lad wore it until he was nearly 9 but he’s skinny lad, unlike me) advertised elsewhere .. EDIT: on hold for Lukepulford, £5 collected from ng14

This made me chuckle ( from viz)

Just watched it, absolutely bonkers 😳

I would find a local haulier / courier company and see if they’ll do a day rate on a 7.5t box with driver 👍

I could understand it if they kids themselves could demonstrate they had a balanced understanding - they dont! A girl was being interviewed and the said “it’s about time the government starting taking action and taxing c02”!!!!! Whatever they are being brainwashed with is very one sided .

It’s a very worrying picture I think gents, I’m personally gutted by it, used to have some great sport from a seemingly endless supply of rabbits and now it’s like a tap being turned off 😞

I’d be happy to even see signs of them right now! A large bank once littered with warrens and rabbit activity over 600 yards is devoid of any sign, it’s been a total collapse of rabbit populations that I am seeing!

Hi all, the rabbit numbers near me have collapsed over the last couple of years, warrens empty and no sign - I could regularly lamp 50+ and the last few outings I’ve not even seen one! this is the notts / Leics border area, what is it like where you are ?
