    nice gesture, good to get lads started

    I would say yes to that mate,for thirty years that's all I ever used, never had the Internet, catty,s were all home made and ammo was whatever you could find,

    my terriers caught one in the garden a few year ago, sadly the patterdale tore chunks out of it, but I took it in and put honey on the wounds as they are a bit prickly to treat, ended up living in my kitchen all winter as it was to small to hibernate it got quite tame but a bit smelly then in the spring I pass it on to some hedgehog charity ready for release, used to see them every year in my garden but not in the last five years

    used to do this a lot in my youth, great fun, the pigeons stand out like a sheet of white paper and allow you a couple of shots if you get it wrong, if you have a dog with a good nose take him with you as finding them in the undergrowth at night is not easy even when you saw them drop, the worse part of it when I was a young un, was carrying the huge car battery we used to use for our lamp, but with the modern Cree type torch,s you will have a great time, go for it and enjoy, a most effective way of culling pigeons both feral and wood

    one of my best spots and I would imagine it's the same everywhere is a log across a brook, as it seems nothing likes to get its feet wet, I have one such spot and at night it's like a motorway, it's in a thick hedge as well so you have to crawl in to a sort of natural tunnel and place the cameras, but it's none stop busy once darkness falls

    I would be surprised at that price, I have several with red ir illumination and was worried about theft as you say, but in the six months I have been setting them, dozens of people have walked past them and not one has even looked toward the camera, it's not really a flash more a dull glow, I also make sure that when I set my cameras, each one is watching the next one so if any were stolen I should have a piccy of the thief unless they managed to find them all which is very doubtful, I have been trying to capture some otters I found last year so I set cams on both sides of the river so unless

    I,m the moaniest old b*****d you will ever meet, and I am talking from personal experience vets like doctors and dentists all have an unwritten rule of closing ranks and will not testify against one another, I did not say don't complain, I said sort your dog out then speak to a proper solicitor and not an armchair legal expert on here, as there are far to many of you, giving both false hope and useless advice, and right on que you arrive, anyway. Hope the dog recovers I,ll get my coat now,

    Others may disagree, and admittedly there are lots of better catty,s around but as a starter catty the old wrist rocket type design is a good choice, because it's ambidextrous, and those tubes will last a lot longer than some of the thinner Chinese tubes and much longer than flatlands, you can trim them down to length but do it little at a time as you can always cut more but can't put any back on, I would say have a play with it as it is for a while, and if you like it you can either make or buy one that suits your style, and if it just gets thrown to the back of the cupboard you have,nt lost

    Sorry I have know photos, but thought I'd share, on Monday I was working in a nice big house on the outskirts of Bristol , and fancying a break walked to the little shop up the road,on route I passed a row of big old oaks, and saw a couple of little shapes darting round the trunk, thinking I may have spotted a tree creeper I got close and watched, really chuffed when a pair of nuthatch came round the corner, have,nt seen one in years

    Reminded me of when I grew a naga chilli plant, and half way through picking the chilli,s and putting them in olive oil, after trimming a few bad bits and getting the juice on me mitts, I needed a pee, the result was much the same, good story though made me and mine laugh,

    I felt my freedom at 5am on the morning of the referendum, as I have been a staunch opponent of the eu, since the Blair/brown traitor alliances signed the maestrict, Lisbon treaty,s and gave a raft of our rights over to the eu without a care for anyone's opinions other than there own, the ratchet clause they signed would have eventually seen us drawn closer and closer, until we were in the euro and totally governed by Brussels without ever having a say, this referendum started in 1993 for the likes of me, not six months ago, so another year or two to finalise a good exit is fine, i,m still fee

    fair play gruff did you make that yourself, ? I have been looking at getting one myself, but did,nt want to shell out the two or three hundred quid they sell for, it's known as an Alaskan saw mill I believe

    I know this is not an ideal thing to happen but hopefully she,s on the road to recovery, you will start getting people telling you to sue your vet yardy yah and all the other armchair legal advice that's free for a reason, you will really struggle to find one vet to state that another vet has fudged things up, they will willingly tell you verbally but none will come forward and testify on your behalf, so don't waste your time or money going down those roads just focus on sorting your dog, then if you do want revenge talk to a no win no fee brief, as they will not take your case unless they kno

    really easy to make your own mate,your get far more out of it plenty stuff to look up on here get you going I would second that, it's quite addictive as well, and lastly you will probably go through a fair few before you find what you want, I probably make around half a dozen before I make a keeper, then there is the choices of tubes V flats, ott v ttf, gangsta hold or hammer grip, left hand or right hand hold and wether you prefer tapers or straights, the list goes on and the only way is to try them all until you find out what suits you, good luck and let us know what you end up with

    Bullfighting

    Greyman replied to Bryan's topic in General Talk

    Unbelievable as it may seem in this mamby pamby world that we live in today, but I went to see a bull fight at the age of 12 on a school trip in the 1970s how mads that, regarding the morals of it, I always say if a man can sleep at night with a clear conscience then let him do as he wish,s, I've not lived a pure enough life to judge others

    I skin all birds, except ducks or geese, as it's so much quicker and easier

    did you ever get round to filling them with lead? If so how did they perform

    That's a bit of a how long is a piece of string question, to one man it's hardcore to another a lovely piece, and don't for one minute look at reclamation yard prices and think that's what you will get, they pay very little and sell very high, as they have the capacity to display things for years, your biggest problem is the size and weight of them as transport costs could be more than the value of the items, look up that salvage bloke drew Pritchard, he would probably value them from a photo and quite possibly make you an offer and has the means to collect, goodluck

    or use a longer piece of grass, the longer the blade, the lower the wollap, I used to have one of those mains ones around a lake I used to run, it was to keep otters out, sent a few people flying, but if you had a foot long blade of grass it was just a gentle bump, shorter one would give a bigger buzz, simples

    I disagree, the working immigrants in the UK are contributing to our nation. Why the fcuk should they be punished?? Obviously our own people should be given first dibs on jobs but we all know how lazy a lot of Brits are when it comes to work. My best friend is Hungarian - been here 10 years, worked from day 1, paid his taxes, never claimed a penny back and has done well for himself. Why should he be penalised in any way ? That is the kind of ethic we should be trying to instill in our youngsters ! why will he be punished, your just making stupid leftie statements, England is an island of

    What ever happens in the coming weeks days and months, falls into insignificance against the fact we have just saved ourself,s from a dictatorship superstate, and returned to a small democracy, there are sixteen million losers in this fight so there is bound to be an ocean of tears, but hey democracy has one the day so get over it,

    I have been using tbg for the last year or so, but get a bit fed up changing them as they don't last long, so I have bought some 4mm natural latex tube from China, and am really happy with it, I have a few set ups and find the bigger the loops the bigger the ammo it will throw, I find a loop of one third is ideal for 10mm steel normal everyday use, were as a two thirds loop chucks 12mm leads nicely for hunting, also find it easier tying them than flats as I just put a 10mm peace of tube over long nose pliers and poke the tubing through round and back remove the pliers and it's done have starte
