    in all fairness what pratty said could be thought provoking ! they are hit from all sides now, and more and more people are coming into the sport they are most peoples introduction to field sports being relatively cheap and easy to accsess plus all the environmental pressures man made and otherwise it aint good for them and us !!

    same here ,i do see way more hares, roe "and foxes"than rabbits ! this is on shooting land and i know for a fact other than the foxes nowt ground game wise has really been touched other than by vehicles for over 20 years ,its common to see 8+ hares on a lot of fields at night and during the day ! buzzards have gone up probably 10 fold over the last few years and used to see brock once or twice a year now its almost a twice nightly occurrence

    i wouldnt mind using my gwp for a bit of mooching and maybe my gwp x lab in a pack given the chance,the gwps done most bits and pieces but the cross has been mainly a stalking dog ,quite a few years back i had a couple of labs and a couple of borders and we had some great fun doing "or trying to do" mink on a couple of rivers along with other things that cropped up, then we moved and i sort of went sideways with my sport more towards shooting and being honest i enjoyed it at the time and it did what was needed for a keeper but deep down its watching the dogs work thats at the heart of it for

    So you having had both would you say that the howa is as accurate with home loads as the tikka with factory or are they both as good with factory the caliber I will be getting is 22-250 by the way first my tikka was a 25-06 and i put a boyds thumbhole stock on it and glass and pillar bedded it ,my howa is a 223 in a boyds thumbhole stock glass and pillar bedded ,so other than caliber the same ,the tikka shot 3/4" at 100 with ppu in either its plastic bendy stock in the boyds tweaked stock it shot under 1/2" with ppu the howa shot the same groups with the boyds stock and some old 223 ammo

    I wonder how many good dogs get passed on as no good? My mate got a dog that was "no good" turned out to be 100% bitch, we dug to it for years, never saw her quit anything, just needed time. recon your spot on there truther ,folks are in too much rush these days to give dogs a chance to mature "to much of an instant world now , or is it just me getting to be an old git !"

    had a tikka it shot faultlessly with factory and home loads but if the howa means home loading go with the howa ,you then have the option of tweaking the load to suit .i also shoot a howa now

    about £640 i think from the sportsman at exeter "we used to live down there" but were going back possibly 7-8 years now ,mines the 3.5" and camo i think it a 28" barrel ,its used for wildfowl and general foxing,pigeons rough shooting and general pesting and the odd clays "generally used and abused" ! but its worn very well and still no major signs of ware on the coating

    cheers rabid ,i fancied growing a few turkeys on for xmas but because were limited with land and i keep fowl ive put it off ! do you free range them together , what area of land are they on, how many of each, are they cooped together and are the fowl on the same ground permanently ? sorry for a million questions but theres a chance i could be getting a bit extra land and this would be good to try
  24. devon flighter
