    A lot of my shooting pals are going for 20 bore shotguns they say that they are a lot lighter to carry when you'r out rough shooting all day and because they are lighter you can still swing through your quary when you are tired at the end of a day walking about, is this the case or is it because me and pals are getting on a bit. I still use s/s 12 bore but must admit when i borrowed a 20 bore for an hours walkabout in the summer i did like it and i had a few kleen kills with it. So do i get myself a 20 bore or not .Any comments an 12 20 or even 16 bores for rough shooting.

    ONE OF THE REASONS FOR HAVING AGOOD DOG ON A ROUGH SHOOT IS TO BE ABLE TO COLLECT ANY RUNNERS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DISPATCH.AS ALIMAC SAYS THE TYPE OF REFLEX SHOOTING MOST OF US DO MEANS THE BIRDS ARE SHOT IN NONE FATAL AREAS . BUT IF YOU'V GOT A GOOD GUN LINE THEN WITH EXPERIENCE MOST WHO HAVE BIRD FLUSHED IN FRONT WILL LET A GUN FURTHER DOWN THE LINETAKE IT AS A CROSSER AND HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF A CLEAN KILL.I use 6s 28/30 gms shot but sometimes we use 6s 32 gms or 5s on the rabbits if they have developed very thick fur .A lot of my pals are useing 20 bores because they are lig

    goats milk best for pups but you can use powderd stuff the shepherds use for the lambs you can get it from agricutural merchants and its a fraction of the prise you pay for the stuff thats sold for dogs used it on two litters of pups and know lots of others who have used it with now problems at all .

    Riohog. i don't use that many but its a thought . thinks if anyone is reloading in my area i would be willing to supply spent ammo cases and to pay for reloads if theres no law against it.

    dog thinks its pack leader they must know there place in the family all must work together to give dog manners start by stopping it from getting on setee ignore dog and turn your back on it untill it loses interest as soon as it does call it to you then you a calling the shots and thats a start yes it's the owner not the dog thats to blame if you don't check it you and your dog will have an awfull time together kindness is good firmness is better if you keep being daft and soft with it i bet you end up getting rid our even having dog put to sleep . sorry i mean your mate will not you smarty.

    have comfort in the fact that your dog had a proper life lived to the full and that like a true friend you didn't let her suffer .every time i've lost a dog i vow never to get another but i do.

    Hi longrange just got back from borders been feeding ponds and burns and topping up feeders in the woods came back early as the forecast wasn't good so did'nt take dogs or guns kinda wished we had now as weather not that bad . some would say a walk out with the dog and gun and only bagging 1 bird ain't worth it but i think thats real hunting working the dog and taking your chance when it comes, woodcock are a special little bird and to bag them is a thrill not many get and its a bigger thrill to get some thing you and your dog have worked at, its these types of days when the size of the bag

    My dogs arn't gunshy but don't like the screaming noises that some fireworks make i keep the dogs in there box in the back of the landy until 9ish then feed them and bed them down in there sleeping box outside in the run i have a door on the sleeping box and this is the only time of year i close it i think it gives the dogs a sense of security because they soon settle down (this may be that the sounds are muffled and that they cannot see any flashes) don't know but it works. ps it seems to me that the explosion noises are exagerated with double glazing .because i used to try and settle dogs
