  1. What was the accommodation like usually that's a good indication of the people you are working for,presumably on all those days shooting you saw a share of the tips?
  2. Fixed that for you fella lol
  3. Would it it be fair to say that the best is not always the immediate choice with the mod
  4. It would interest me to know what you lads think a keeper should be paid
  5. Just been picky but it's wildcat not wildfire. Ohh and the connoisseur's choice would definitely be 408 cheytac for well everything really
  6. Shortly after they had picked up a .25 lol
  7. I'm sure deker will correct me if I'm wrong but you can't use any gun with a mv of over 3280ft/s at bisley or any other mod range So it would surely rule out the 204
  8. In London since 2005 168 teenagers have been stabbed to death yet only 32 have been shot ( with illegally held firearms) therefore it stands to reason that banning guns fails to work and truth be told every knife should be banned and we should all eat out food with plastic sporks
  9. Perhaps I have pushed the point and please don't take it personally CC it is not my intention to single you out but in my defence as a keeper we are consistently accused of breaking the law (not suggesting you guys have though)very often by the wider shooting community yet when push comes to shove they are ignorant to the very laws that allow there sport so if possible please excuse me for having the proverbial "bee in my bonnet" with regards the law and shooting
  10. Does it not though imply that you have limited knowledge of the general licence? I do not profess to know everything BUT I take keeping appraised of the very legislation that allows us shoot very seriously as should all who partake in our sport.
  11. I pointed it out simply because as seems to oft be the case people who shoot have very little idea of the legislation covering their sport
  12. First hand feeding Birds are fed twice a day morning feed takes birds to covert evening feed pulls birds back to roost Second hoppers Hopper fed birds can be a bit more trouble some but as Bernie says leap frog hoppers from roost to covert then dog covert back to roost in a evening All the above is massively simplified and assumes the drives and position of pens has been considered young and old roost identified leak points attended to and about a thousand other things I can't be bothered to type Belgianhunter if you are in the uk and fancy a day looking at a shoot
  13. You still miss the point what has the general licence to do with game shooting his question was quite simple Do I need a licence to shoot pheasant or hare the answer is no you do not and since neither hare nor game birds are covered by the General licence its mention is purely irrelevant
  14. Why mention the general licence it has no relevance to game birds at all?
  15. Not at all The game licence used to cost £6 or £4 if you where a keeper It was dropped in 2007 still have my last one somewhere
  16. That's dear the game dealers are only paying 20 pence a brace the minute
  17. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/547642/School-Shooting-Closed-Shutdown-Highcliffe-School-Dorset-Bournemouth Yet one more reason why air guns should be licenced
  18. Teagues is at tortworth junction 14 m5 give Ivan a call true gent of a bloke
  19. Try searching for mtm range box on eBay
  20. Mate you said you left in May since when did that become the end of season? You may think your been hassled but look at the posts there all by those that worked through the crap and didn't buckle
  21. well i never knew that, ill be checking all the footpaths now lol Check all you like in England no such rule exists I had the council out last year to upgrade the footpath and bridle way signs we have barb fenced out all of the prow's yet they where not mentioned once was however pulled up on encroaching vegetation and on styles/ gates
  22. That's harsh I suspect though you are spot on lol
  23. Mate it won't matter where you go as a keeper the idea of being appreciated be it by the head keeper or your employer is a non starter getting bollocked for f**k all is just how it goes if there is one thing I have learnt from all these years the rain of shite is like drizzle some days and a monsoon the next the further up the ladder you get the shite just rains in bigger lumps
  24. Cheeky b###### lol Besides the reason I have to work is cause I don't have any under keepers now to do all the shite jobs for me lol
  25. Oh I understand mate after many years commercial I was pleased to go single handed on a private estate only thing is I work harder now than ever lol
