My initial shotgun cert took 2 weeks in total from posting the forms to receiving the licence in the post. My renewal and application for a .22 and.243 also took around 2 weeks both of these were with lothian and borders police. Had nothing but good things to say about them and most people I know have had good service from them. I think it just depends were about in the country you are how busy and efficient the firearms licensing departments are. I have to deal with other government and council departments on a regular basis and some of them need to remember that they are public servants

I think we used getting on for a ton per hundred birds for the whole year. We were starting a new shoot on an a farm that hadn't been shot for at least 10 years so have fed the woods from releasing the birds in summer 2008 right through to this year. hopefully it has kept the birds that weren't shot last season in good condition for breeding this year. might have stopped them wandering as much.

can take them anytime they are available. I am just south of edinburgh but can travel 60-100miles if need be to pick them up

Just wondered if anybody has had prices for ex layer pheasants yet. Looking for 5-600 if anybody knows of a good source in the south of scotland. Picking them up and returning crates is not a problem. Thanks
