Air Arms S400 range are very accurate, fit most well, very easy to use (ie smooth and simple action), asthetically very pleasing to the eye and imo good value for money. As you can probably guess, i have one, lol.

meindl are always a safe bet, but i think most of their boots are over 100. well worth the extra though.

I swear by deerhunter ram trousers, waterproof, windproof, insulated and tough as f**k! They will keep you warm and dry in just about any weather you are likely to encounter while hunting in the uk. Its the windproofing thats needed, you can have numerous layers on but unless you have a windproof outer the wind will cut straight through them all. As for footwear my new meindl Lhotse boots are great, well worth the money, stand up to brambles and other tough undergrowth well.

Ian, if you are surprised by how much support you have got then you dont understand how much your site has benefitted us all. Through running this site you really have done so much for the hunting community and at times even extensions of that community (charity events, members personal problems). For me, i have learnt a wealth of knowledge from this site and when i think about it, to have access to that amount of knowledge and experience would be impossible any other way. Do what you have to Ian, we are all behind you!

The Rabbit.....So Many Uses
Born Hunter replied to Rolfe's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
I beleive rabbit is around 30% protein, so a good meat for part of your body building diet especialy as us lot can usually get sacks of rabbits for nothing. But dont quote me on that percentage becuase im not sure, there are nutritional analysis websites out there that give you the full analyisis of all kinds of meat and foods. -
a letter in my local paper saying ban airguns
Born Hunter replied to celticwar's topic in Airgun Hunting
Well had a bash and sent it, adrenaline pumping and hand shaking throughout, lol. Good job these people arnt spouting this shit infront of me becuase i really dont think i would be able to just sit there and listen to it, makes my fukin blood boil! Anyway heres what i sent, "Letters like that of Joan McDaniel make my blood boil! Complete and utter ignorance written with no logical thought just an emotional response from hearing of a pet cat being shot. One of my strongest passions in life is shooting, particularly air rifle shooting although I also use shotguns I prefer the skill of us -

Cant beleive i missed that in the journal, thanks for pointing it out, ill try my best at a response to that arsehole of a letter! -
Im with you on this one millet, unless the bird somehow managed to earth itself when hitting the power line i doubt it got any shock at all, other than that to its neck when suddenly crashing into a cable out of nowhere. Ive seen swans aswell dead under power lines, took me a while to figure what had happened as the bird was just laying there dead on the side of a footpath at least 500 yards from the river, then i looked up and i realised

Its just a hormonal thing as far as im aware, 'breeding season alapecia(sp)'. My 2 jills get it, one worse than the other. Both of them loose almost all of it on their tails ('rat tail') and one looses quite abit on her flanks. But its nothing to worry about, now their new coats are coming through real dense on their bodies, just their tails that havnt come good yet, but they will. Ill try and find a link to explain it........

A very pissed off moggy, beating last year 2 terriers knocked f**k out of this farm feral that was in a bramble thicket on the first drive. I got in there and managed to scruff the cat and get the terrier off that had hold, the cat was in a bad way but still spitting and hissing like hell, anyway i tried to get a better grip with my other hand and the bugger managed to get hold of the end of my thumb! Canin teeth went straight through gloves and my nail straight into the bone, swelled like f**k and was a bit of a joke for the rest of the day, lol.

I think the whole 'pet/worker' divide is alot to do with the fact that in the hands of 'pet only' owners the ferret would soon become a non working animal. I havnt a problem with showing the stinkers afection and enjoying their personalities while watching them play etc, but...... they are workers first and foremost and any decisions about breeding / feeding etc are based on that fact and so keeping the working ferret at a good working standard. If people doubt what ive said, just look at alot of todays dog breeds, they became 'pet only' breeds and have suffered for it. Just like to s

agree with ya mate............ But, i changed to 177 about 4 months ago and now have even more confidence in my kit than ever before. I used to shoot 22 AA S410 and now shoot 177 AA S410 (slightly different model, thumbhole stock and full length not carbine) so its a fair comparison. Try not to worry too much about 'stopping power' becuase a head shot is a head shot and if you cant manage a head shot on a rabbit dont shoot regardless of calibre.

Had my AA S410 .22 for over 3 years now and taken plenty with it but all i really do now is rabbit shooting so i feel i would benefit more from a .177. Question is do i go for a pcp (probably a new S410 in .177) or do i take a risk and go for a theoben evolution with thumbhole stock? Sounds a daft question..........obviously as a 'tool' the S410 seems the choice not to mention i have used one for the past 3 years and am confident with them, but i really like the look of the evo and love the self contained no running out of air due to the gas ram. I am pretty much decided that i will go wit

suitable calibre for cat control
Born Hunter replied to woz's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
At the end of the day its up to the person pulling the trigger to judge weather the situation is deemed as 'legal'. -
Just a guess, In theory (as we all know not so simple in reality), you could fire 1 shot at a target at your prefered zero range (for example 100 meters), then by measuring the verticle displacement and the horizontal displacement, make the correction on your scope knowing that 1/4 m.o.a is 1 click which moves the cross hairs buy 1/4 of an inch at 100 meters. So if you were zeroing at 100 meters and your shot was 2inches low and 3 inches to the right, then you would make a correction of 8 clicks up and 12 clicks to the left.

For those of you wanting to feed raw, i recomend 'The Barf Diet' by Ian Billinghurst. Theres alot of info in that book on balancing the diet right and overcoming problems (down to not beeing balanced). Great book, with all you need to know in it

Just out of interest (and appreciating that any dog can get in a scrap, given the right circumstances) would you say in general that they are given to fighting easily? Just wondering, iv'e never had a grey but have been told by peolpe who do, that they are very laid back in their ways. In racing kennels are they usually kept singly or in with others? I would consider taking one on in the fututre and would be interested in your opinions. Cheers. very laid back dogs, aggression rarely shows in them but they can be deamons if they are pushed into a fight. But i also agree that they ca
