Cracking fish that, well done.

Had a pair of Hoggs moleskins for 10 years now-bought another pair a couple of weeks ago as well as a pair of breeks for game shooting in, they always wash and wear well, but I always seem to need a size bigger than stated on the label to make them fit properly.

Absolutely cracking gun, tried it out after I bought it on the local clay ground, faultless--- edbadger--top guy to deal with.

Absolutely cracking pups there,The pup on the left is the spitting image of the dog we got just before xmas, he is now 12 weeks old, just checking through his pedigree and he has wernffrwd, timsgarry.cadboll,mallowdale,and quite few welsh names that i can't pronounce never mind spell. His parents are both working dogs, the Sire was brought from wales, and the Dam is very lean and small, she came from Bawtry S.Yorks, if ours turns out anything like my son in laws 2, i will be well pleased.

If any one comes across a ferret in the Bawtry, Ranskill, Torworh area (Notts) could you send me a pm. My mate had some break out last night, 2 of them were found this morning, but he is devastated that his favourite is no where to be seen. We have done the normal things like ask the neighbours and their kids to keep an eye out for him, his ferret box is near his hutch with bedding and dry food. So if any one finds him can you send me a pm. Much appreciated, thanks for looking. Andy

I like the sound of that recipe with the bacon, my misses likes pigeon as much as i do but she prefers hers done as a stew in a slow cooker, served with herby dumplings done in an oven, and nice fresh crusty bread for any gravy left on the plate.

I know what you mean, i have seen hundreds of the dark coloured variety dead on the roads around here over the past few years, even spotted a couple of feral ferrets running in and out of rabbit holes last year, but this is the first time i have ever seen a "non polecat " type. When we checked it there was no ticks or fleas on it, it seemed a good old age as its teeth were opaque with some tartar on them, but by god it smelled, but that could have been where it skunked when it was bitten.

God I would pay good money to see that !!!!!!! :boogy:

Was he fishing on the largest pit ? ( No 6) I was talking to a guy on one of my training courses last week and he and his mate caught 30+ carp in a weekend a couple of weeks ago, he said it was fishing its head off. I must admit i prefer pit 4, never caught a Bream out of there less than 10lb in weight, and when you catch 30 of them you know you've had your strings pulled.

Has any one lost a ferret in the Bawtry area?. My next door neighbours dog grabbed hold of one today when it shot out in front of them while she was walking down a bridle path, she was absolutely devastated to see the poor thing on the ground so she brought it round to me as she knows we keep them to see if there was anything that could be done,the poor thing was in shock so it was given some water, and wrapped it one of my T shirts,it seemed to liven up for a while, then it went downhill very quickly and went into a coma, and quickly passed away, unfortunately it was just too late.

Back out with the remington 1100 the other day, 3 geese 5 shots, and last night on the ducks (and crows on the way back) 2 for one on the ducks, 3 for 3 on the crows, god i love this gun. In fact my misses has just shouted the goose is ready.

My mate Mally offered to take me out for my 1st ever Goose shoot today, i arrived at his house just before 5.30am, we had a quick cuppa and set off, we arrived at about 6.10am just as it started to get light, we could hear the geese calling in the distance and it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. We saw the 1st skein appear out of the gloom but they were to far away for us, so he made the decision to move nearer the flight line, as we approached the corner of the field we noticed 4 nice Grey lags sat in the middle, they were to far away to shoot but they made excellent decoys
