  1. Guess ya need a .50 cal Sharps for those Buffs Nice countryside
  2. Is that the old MK1 Vulcan Geordie?Had the MK2,loads of gear with it,duck,pheasant,Pigeon(feral and woodies)collared dove,Rabbit,rat,few hares,even had a woodcock once
  3. Good job I moved down to Surrey then isnt it Gin
  4. Has he ever covered a bitch JD?What were the progeny like :ok:
  5. Amen to that Geordie(geordie and a mackem agreeing? )had 8 in the last two weeks along fences and every one was stone dead due to wrapping themselves round any snag within reach
  6. 100 fox loops,thats some trap-line mate,wish I had the time to work that number,nothing quite like the anticipation of checking a snare line
  7. Park in Sunderland,then get the bus down
  8. 30 in two weeks?f**k me(no,its NOT an invitation,more like an exclamation of surprise),thats impressive!How many wires you had out to bump up that total?I thought I was doing well,8 in 2 weeks,but never having more than 5 loops set at one time,and all within a mile of my house,your score is very,very decent
  9. Nothing really mate,just that the standard AAs410 is very,very easy to power-up to 20+ft lbs with a simple little modification,but it would FAC the gun and we wouldnt want to encourage that to anyone without the proper certification
  10. I wonder if its as easy to "Beef-up" as the standard AAs410 :whistle:
  11. What is it Thurso?A take-down AAs410?
  12. Dont forget the Pro Bass shops bullet would any of you guys be interested in a trip stateside next year sometime?Going alone is no problem to me,but its always nicer to share the experiences with likeminded folk Shouldnt cost us more than £3500-£4000 for a guided bear or cougar trip including flights from the UK,anyone interested?
  13. Thanks Leeview Been to Dubai before,fishing ok but your right..............No rabbits
  14. Wonder what happened to Howard.G.Glynn?Used to write ferreting articles for "Shooting News" then just faded from the scene :search:
  15. Burnie,the shops over there are my wet dream wandered round one for hours in a daze Best known bowhunter alongside Ted Nugent is Chuck Adams Reflex Bows advertising pro-hunter,the guy is amazing . Seen bowhunters on DVD take polar bears Rhino,elephant,grizzly,hippo etc.Had a few deer myself over the years,nothing quite like taking one with a bow(ranks alongside taking them with a dog). Was going to book a cougar or bear hunt over there at the end of this year,and the wife was in total agreement :realmad: :realmad: :realmad: so using the money to install a new kitchen and bathroom .
  16. I was a kid when I first saw those pic's in Walsh's book,but remember thinking even then what powerfull dogs they looked,had a 26 inch D/hound/G/hound then with a massively deep chest but the dogs stateside had a deeper keel wonder if a couple could handle an elk?
  17. My grandad was Spartacus NO . my grandad was spartacus NO............Mines Spartacus
  18. Are they the same stamp of dog featured in the American section of EG Walsh's "lurchers and Longdogs"?Huge,well muscled deepchested types like the Nebraskar hound pictured in the book?
  19. Got Jockish blood,way back in the midst of time Burke & Hare featured in my lineage,must have had a threesome with great-great-great grandma She always was a brazen hussy :kiss: :kiss:
  20. Told ya !I actually put on your original post that the dog was probably kipping in its kennel as everyone was mourning its death Some people aint got a sense of humour PS,nice looking pup
  21. Theoben Fenman, surely? Shooting foxes with an air rifle is a stupid idea. Point blank to one in a snare it would kill it, if it was in the right place, but its a shite idea. Back on topic; BSA Superten's are great guns. When they were first brought out (about 9 years ago I think), I dismissed them as a poor mans Rapid. Shortly after the MkII was released, a mate picked up a MkI second hand. They are probably the ugliest air rifles ever produced, and a tad heavy, but they shoot like a dream. Absolutely superb rifles. Thanks Woody,feel a bit dumb now of course the Fenman is

    Read it when I was a kid,excellent book,gave me the idea of flight netting duck in the local wildfowl refuge used to work fine till they fitted an electric wire along the top of the fence

Only registered on here to buy some fox snares,but saw this thread a few weeks back Excellent treed pictures Bullet,got a PSE Scorpion myself,got a whitetail doe in '94 hunting my cousins place in Minnesota,actually e-mailed a few hunting guides in Canada as I would love to try for Cats or Bear.Broadheads come in a range of sizes,shapes and weights Cupid,from fixed blades and replacement blades through to expandables,would have shot a few fallow down in essex with mine if it was still legal here in the UK...............
