A friend died earlier this year and I am helping his wife clear things out. There are a number of knives and here is the first, second post for the other. “The Buck 105 Pathfinder has a fixed blade that has a shape of a clip point. The blade is made of 420HC steel and is 5 inches long. Overall, the entire knife has a length of 9.2 inches. The knife has a sturdy handle that is made of phenolic and has a well-fitting and nicely designed black leather carrying system.” used in good condition but needs sharpening - £45 posted UK Mainland

Buck and doe captured on trail camera,

This Past Friday I worked a half day and planned to do a few hours pigeon & crow shooting on my landlord’s farm. Walking out to where I was to set-up the hide and decoys – a hare jumped out of the grass and ran for it. Amazingly, as he zigged and zagged, my shot made contact. As I walked toward the hare to put him in the bag, a Roe Buck jumped out of a nearby hedge and ran toward a small wood at the bottom of the farm. Over the wall and into the wood he went. As it was very warm and flies started to collect on the Hare - I walked the two miles back to the house to gut and chill the hare. After taking care of the hare, I thought the Buck was probably still in the wood. It's not a very big wood, a couple acres surrounded by open fields. My guess was he'll be there till dark before moving out. A game cam I set up in the wood a few months ago caught a doe and buck bedding down in there during the day. Grabbing my rifle I stalked down to the wood, the wind was perfectly in my face - and I quietly made it to the edge of the wood. And there he was, browsing, about fifty yards away. Now I just had to wait for a safe shot. There is lots of cover in the wood and it was difficult to see what was beyond the buck. He finally walked into a small "tunnel" of openness where between me, the deer, and high ground beyond, there was a clear view. The shot rang out and his hind legs gave a good kick. Down he went. The bullet entry was little more left of the shoulder than I wanted, but as the deer was not 100% broadside to me, it traveled at an angle through the deer - piercing shredding its heart. There was divine intervention with that shot. It was a good day - though the pigeons or crows were safe.

Any one got an FAC pump with a big magazine going spare? I'm running a Winchester 1300 5+1, but extending the tube would cost more than I paid for the gun and I am loathe to do that. Don't fancy the complexity of a semi-auto. Looking for 10+1 (or better) Magazine fed or tube, but must be pump 12 and slug and buck friendly (3" chamber). £300 tops, because I can work the Winchester, just never going to win anything. Maybe you have a tube extension that might fit and never got round to using? Thanks, RS
