Hi all, My current situation is that I am thinking about applying for my shotgun licence again. I have had some issues in the past that make me worry a bit. I am an ex gamekeeper and about 4 years ago I surrendered my licence as I had developed an addiction to a variety of substances. I went to residential treatment for 6 months and have remained clean and sober since. I now run a detox facility and help other people get their lives back on track. I am a country lad and really miss shooting, I have no criminal convictions but am fully aware that my past issues won't be looked on favou

Hand feeding V Hoppers
ad22 replied to Holland's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
I Hand feed twice a day, like everyone has said getting the pheasants to stick around is all about giving them just the right amount, too little they wander too much they wander. If your full time and have to shoot a good percentage dont have thousands and thousands of acres and arent surrounded by big neighbouring shoots i think you need to hand feed prodimently. -
How to become a gamekeeper
ad22 replied to millytheterrier's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
I think college is a good route in even at 21 i went at 22 and its a good stepping stone even if you dont learn much its a good reason to get a work placement and hopefully you will get in that way, i did, although there wasnt a job for me at the end of my placement the headkeeper wanted to take me on but upper managament wouldnt have it but he got me a job elsewhere single handed position with nice house, big yard, 3 vehicles etc. and great beat that is mine, far better than i could have hoped for. Has been a steep learning curve but its great, if you want it enough you go get it, just dont -
Hi all, Im looking for a towable spinner was wondering if anyone knew of any shoots that may have packed up and are selling one or have a good working second hand one as they are very expensive new, needs to be the rugged game feeding sort.

you say he is hard but i bet its a pet thats never seen a thing If you say so whoever you are?? I dont need to justify it to you but the dog is known in the right circles.

F****ing hell, W*nkers!! Just saw this and im fuming! Let me know how you get on mate, hope you get her back and the thieving sod that has taken her deserves whats coming to them. Not on at all!! I agree probbaly someone that knows the score here, start thinking who knows and who might have been blabber mouth!
-
Nice looking pup there, let me know how you get on.
-
Ill look at having her free to a very good home with a keeper, not far from you youd be welcome to come see her and come on a few nights out, Dont have £200 to spend though. So if you get stuck let me know.

Nice one for that mate, PM sent to luke, i think he is fairly close to me aswell looking at it nice one!!.

Hi all, I Have been wanting a true 1st cross bull x, I know of a leggy irish type staff that is very hard that I think would make a good stud dog for some true bull X pups, does anyone know of a pure whippet or greyhound that they would be interested in having bull X pups with? Also what do people think of 1st cross bull X whippets? Are they any good or a greyhound a better option? Many thanks

Yeah i have been told that they dont like to grant a .243 just for foxes. I think a .222,.223 or 22-250 would be the best option as a foxing gun, however as my first rifle i know they are all powerful rounds as was thinking about maybe a .22 hornet, but do you guys consider a .22 WMR and hornet in the same sort of leauge? I know the hornet is a bit more powerful but if i could get a wmr in semi auto then i would pick that instead. At the moment im thinking .22lr (for bunnys) 22wmr semi auto(for walk around vermin gun and lamping gun to start with) .222 for shooting foxes from the high s

The shoot is fairly small, 1200 acres, it was 30,000 acres were i was a trainee, admidtley my beat was only 1100 however. My house is in a good location, on the boundary and located on the track which is the main way in and out for the wood so can see anyone coming or going. Hopefully picking up an adult springer tommorw that is hard mouthed but still good on the whistle for dogging, I have a young cocker also and will be getting a ex-army german shephard in the near future to. So why dont people like semi autos?? I've used bolt actions ,22 and 17 alot and more than once ive wished for

Both beautiful dogs mate, I like that saluki very very much, if only it was a couple of months later than now, I already have 2 dogs i need to get this month for work really nice dog though, if you still have her next month when i have some money id have her in a flash Sure she will go very quickly though hope you find her a good home!

There are lots of deer a deer park is part of my beat, but the stalking rights are let out to deer stalkers so apparently they dont like you (me) to have a .243. I want to get a semi auto .22 rimmy for my walkabouts, figure if i see a fox i can pop a couple into in quick sucsession to make up for the lack of power, and a .22 hornet or .222 for sitting up the high seats and night time lamping. I like the .17hmr as a long range crow gun, bit violent on bunnys to sell them i have found, not sure i would bother with the .17hmr if they would be happy to give me a centrefire .22, although maybe

Hi all, I have been a trainee keeper and due to circumstance (living at my moms) haven't been able to apply for my shotgun or firearms licence. I now have a full time job with my own house as a single handed keeper and will be moving in next month, I was wondering what rifles i should apply for on my FAC since i havent held a shotgun or firearms licence before, I have used shotguns and rimfire rifles under supervision since my early teens and understand gun safety and am very resposible with guns. What i would ideally like to apply for is a .22 rimfire and .222 centrefire.. but sinc
