. I don't think there is any hatred, towards Martin or anyone else here, it's just nice to get other people's idea,s and experiences before parting with your hard earned wedge, that's what the forum is for surely, I doubt I will ever be buying anyone's gear really unless it's in a trade as I like making my own to much, there is something really special about natty,s, I may make 5-6 before I find the one that fits like a glove and hits everything I point at, and you just can't buy that feeling

she still has everything going for her this is totally human error and know fault of the dog, why get rid of a dog because of your mistake?

i have one right outside my French doors I don't even have to leave my chair to watch them coming and going, only downside the sparrow hawk is now making almost dailly raids in the garden, it took a nesting hedge sparrow last year about six inch,s above the brother in laws head and sadly the nest and eggs failed

What a f***ing contradiction... exactly mate some people in city,s now even feed dogs on a veggie diet, but they would still get an on the spot fine from some little jumped up park warden if it shat in the streets, horses are just dog food waiting to happen, don't get me started on horses

i have,nt long netted for around 30 years, but when I did all our poles were just cut from hazel, one tree will provide years worth also used the off cuts for snare pegs, I guess things move on

. My son has just returned from a nights fishing in Gloucestershire, and he saw lots of house and sand martins, also spoke to the local twitcher that told him there have been swallows there since March, he stops by every time we fish up there and is a mine of birdy info so I would have know reason to doubt him

. There are several people, in this country that have just taken ideals from bill Hayes, and put there own little spin on them, one or two have even gone on to make quite a name for themselves, I won't name names or point fingers, I did,nt think you could improve on your ppsg, but if you want something a little bit special, I would be looking at bills site as not only is he an unbelievable catty shot but he is also responsible for most of the better designs on the market today, and he's a very honest and helpful person to do business with, I,m a staunch homemade catty fan but if I were to ever

back in the days when all hunting was ok I had a little whippet cross that I got from the local dogs home, and a harder runner I,ve never met she would go to ground, and I spent many afternoons digging her out, but her one big hate that I could never break was cats, she once knocked herself out on the car window because she saw one on the pavement, and one day she actually climbed a tree after one that had gone up to escape her, about 15 foot up she fell and landed on her ass which snapped her tail, from that day until she went on, her tail had a ninety degree bend in it about half way along,

Going to give this a bump, because I,m hoping for a happy ending, any news?

it ain't the poachers round here it's the Badgers, the rabbits seem to be clinging on in small pockets, but I found another set yesterday, dug out and occupied by a young pig with the remains of the previous occupants left outside in the spoil of the dug out set, the over protection of the badger population is having a massive negative effect on rabbits and hares, maybe Brian the poodle may should come and explain why we need an alpha predator,s population spiralling out of control at the cost of everything else, I now see more deer than bunnys on my normal walks, good to hear you still have a

What Do You Get Out Of Hunting / Shooting
Greyman replied to vizlauk's topic in General Airgun Discussion
Sorry I have,nt read the full thread,but to me my hunting is just a massive urge to be away from the shite of the modern world, I still go and spend a few nights just sleeping outdoors every year, and even though I,ve clocked up a few years on my life clock I,m still quite happy that I could survive comfortably without to many of the things most people have become reliant on in today's fake world, it's my basic animal instinct, that I,m proud is still alive and kicking -
absolutely love those bullfinch pics,I only ever see one or two in a year usually if I'm lucky

My first week back to work after Christmas, and I took a bit of a fall, resulting in a fractured ankle, torn ligaments and a couple of chipped bones,which left me in plaster on crutch,s, never really got to grips with the crutch,s so I started chopping them about a bit and today whilst being bored due to the crap weather, put the bits together to make a starship catty,, have,nt had a lot of chance to shoot it but the first few shots are pretty promising, it seems very powerful due to the extended draw length and hits were you point it, will take it out in the week for a proper go, but here it

i made some slider for Christmas and rather potent it was to, it's made by keeping the sloes from my sloe gin and sloe vodka, when bottling it up,then put all the fruit in a large sealable container and pour a gallon of scrumpy over it, you can drink it within a week and it tastes lovely and knocks your socks off, I left one a bit too long and it started fermenting and blew the tub up but I recon if you put one of those bubble valve thingys in the top it would just get stronger and stronger, that's for the next lot I do

in my youth there was a company in Cornwall called cobbledicks, and they used to buy everything, fox pelts were just laid out flat on a bin bag wet and rolled up into a sausage with an elastic band round and struck in the freezer, when the freezer was full it was just packed in a cardboard box and posted off, he would grade them and send you a cheque, fox pelts were between £15/25 squirrel tails 50p hares masks, jays wings and just about everything else all had value we even used to get bags of shells from the beach and he would pay you for them by weight, the Chinese chip shop used to buy all

I was about 30ft up a tree on hampool in cerney, watching a group of carp and deciding were to lay my traps, when the branch snapped and on my way crashing down through the branch I snagged my leg on another branch that went into my thigh just above my knee and stopped just below my waist, I then hit the deck, seven days and two ops later I arrived back home, I'd only gone out for a short evening stalking

. I got stopped some years back, driving an old motor home that had been off the road for years,dvla attempted to recover back tax for quite a few years, but after a few visits in front of the local beak, and much manipulation of the truth by said dvla, they were awarded one days back tax, which at the time was about £8 with costs,as they could only prove it was on the road for one day, it was worth the three days of work I missed just to see there main prosecutors face as she grabbed her folders and left the court rather hastily amid howls of laughter from the public gallery, Haymin if you do

They are gorgeous, lovely to see such skills still alive in the throw away world we now live in, top marks

cant really tell from your piccys, but looking at the quarter bumpers and the cheese grater air filter, I,m guessing it may be a gt model if so the value is much higher, and even higher again if it's a two door model, if it's a basic four door, it will be hard to restore to a decent level, without spending more than it's worth, if you have found a 2door gt it's worth a fortune as it stands it's a 2 door pal Gt 1500 nice one mate not quite a lotus but not to many rungs down the ladder, you have hit the jackpot
