Weather update for Stockton-on-Tees, still sh*t and stav’s getting cabin fever ?️
-
Couple of good size hoppers there, there’s a lot about at the minute, fingers crossed for some good nights out after combining ?
-
No foxy action but a couple of hoppers bbq so definitely a worthwhile outing ?
-
Good mod, just a little bit expensive for a rimfire
-
I use a dpt on my .243 and one of my .17hmr’s they weigh nothing and been a stack mod you can customise it to your own requirements, definitely worth a look ?
-
You should put these pictures in the photography section mate, there’s a good few chaps there that really know there stuff ?
-
It certainly has the look of a female reed bunting but I’m no Chris packham ( thank fu*k ? )
-
I’ve used them in .243, they say that the coating on the tip slows the expanding down, all I found was they killed sh*t like the rest of them ?

3 lovely photos Bernie Sausage, good effort keeping them crows away from them ?

I know this happens year in year out and everything has its place in the food chain but it definitely seems to me that without any control this year it’s seems to have been a very tough time for the birds and fowl, I also understand that many of us didn’t follow the GL correctly but from what I’ve seen over the past weeks we were doing more good than harm, some sensible clear guidelines wouldn’t go amiss

I was back in the village earlier today, as I passed the duck pond I could see a large amount of crows around the edge with 20 or so mallard on the water, I stopped for a moment and couldn’t see one duckling, very sad ?

Well as the weather has put a stop to my night out foxing and I’m now half way through a bottle of jd I thought I’d share with you something that saddened me today, this morning before work I thought I’d treat myself to a sausage sandwich for a posh butchers in my local village, as I was in there waiting to be served I was looking out the window at the duck pond, I noticed a few duckling that were been bothered by crows, now the owner of the butchers seen me watching them and said to me them b*****ds have just about wiped them out, he said as soon as they come off the water they are at them, h

Nice work, just looks like foxy dreams for me as the weather has buggered my night up, still nice to read about other people’s adventures ?

All of my rifles are light and plastic, from the .22 to the .243, I had a heavy barrel.243 and would never have another one unless it was mounted on the truck, when out and about like Deker says you don’t want to be dragging a big lump across a field, there is endless choices from different manufacturers but almost all of them do the same job and are all very accurate, if you just want something functional and classic then it would be the cz for me every time, I also have a Browning T bolt in .17hmr and although it is no better than the cz it does have some nice little touches, straight pull,

Which caliber would you pick ?

This is turning into a horror show ? -
If it’s the right price and hasn’t been hammered they are a lovely little rimmy

I have a 455 and I’ve found that all cz’s are very similar ?

I go for the head shot rabbits with the .243, still good eating and you just need to tip them upside to gut them ?? -

Stavross replied to shovel leaner's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
As most of my rifle shooting is pest control and it’s my favourite round I’d go .243 ? -
You will never buy a better rimfire than a cz ?
-
Nice one, welcome to the club ?

I’ve got a 10lt safe for all my extra ammo that doesn’t fit in the gun cabinet , I think it was 25 quid off eBay and firearms are more than happy with it as it’s bolted to the shotgun cabinet

I feel like chicken tonight !!!!

A job well done and another cracking write up, you should write your memoirs of a fox controller, you tell a story very well ? -
It’s getting expensive ☹️
Stavross replied to Stavross's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Yep, you are not wrong, the other lad that runs the shoot could of sold a day for £2000, he already had a team of guns lined up for it with a cap on numbers they could shoot, we could of put another 500 birds down and with the extra £50 we are paying per gun I think we could of given the members 7 days shooting for about £55 a day, I don’t know anywhere you could get shooting like this for that money, but each to there own, it’s a private syndicate so we all have to agree on how the season is going to be run, I think if we let the day we would of struggled for beaters with the miserable old bu -
It seems to be a fine day for an early evening wonder ?I’m not jealous at all ? I think I’ll just stay at work for the next 7 hours, my boss looks like he needs the money
