  1. I find the high pheasant 28 grn 5 ‘s very good I have tried the hushpower gamebore, but the high pheasant , are my preferred shell at the moment,
  2. Just got mine It is heavy to walk with, but good in the hide, it’s the sight picture that I need to get used to,
  3. It’s funny there seems no one really cleans them, i was capped how much old blood came off the stalking rifle, I just used a bit of soapy water in the end, weak mix of star drops, I was wondering if they were any products out there,
  4. I used one in Scotland, and trust me when they are bad up there, there bad, and it worked very well, I will agree though that skin so soft is also very good, as for ticks I never got one when I used it, if that is anything to go by, if the dog is sat in close it makes a big difference to him too,
  5. Yes, but not cheap to run daft money for refil pads and gas, but they do work,
  6. Nowt wrong with a teckle mate, good to see one being used over here,
  7. Good cull buck, ours are mostly boned up on the antlers, up here and have been for a while, very early this yr to be fare dispite the shit weather,
  8. Thankyou for that, it’s good to learn, that makes sense,
  9. How does that stand with the firearms ticket being black powder and ball then, is it on ticket or not being smooth bore, sorry for sounding thick, I know the shotgun would be ok, just the ticket for black powder required, the one I fired with ball belonged a friend, who had firearms ticket, so always assumed it would be required,
  10. Underdog it’s good you do these posts, I have always had a fascination, with black powder guns, and did once try one which my brother still has I believe, I also tried a Kentucky style long rifle, owned by a friend back in the late 80’s I must say I could not hit a bloody thing with ball, beyond 20 paces, and that was a 45 gallon drum, but the shotgun I enjoyed, it’s good to see someone hunting with them,
  11. Spot on ianm, DSC1 or 2 is not a need to have at all, book some dates in a diary for stalking, with the wife’s uncle, it’s a little more tang able then,
  12. Can I ask what products people use to clean there synthetic gun stocks, I usually just give mine a wipe, but was wondering what other people use,
  13. I am sure he can’t hold 5 bags of sugar, on the end on that stick, with one hand so easily, it has to be crap,
  14. Cheers this is second hand Mossberg 500 20 hushpower, as I say I havnt yet seen it, as the dealer is a fare distance from me , I know it’s in good condition,
  15. Thanks for that I will give them a try, don’t know what choke it is yet
  16. What shot size do the eley do, I got two boxes of gamebore no 5’s super comp hushpower, to try I put two through my side by side, and they certainly kill well, there 30 grm, I won’t pick the gun up for a couple of wk,
  17. I am just about to buy one in twenty bore, same as yours, can I ask what cartridges you use through it,
  18. I think sometimes we stereotype dogs by breed, no two dogs are the same even from the same breed, I have to be careful here as I know someone will pick me up on this, my experience is mainly around gun dogs, dispite my farther being a very active terrier man when I grew up, when it comes to training, basic stuff as lead training and sitting, is all apart of instilling boundaries, and that starts very early in my opinion, but most gun dogs really are 18 month to two yr old before they are ready, the thing with a gun dog is you see, or are able to recognise when the dog is ready to move to the n
  19. A lot of dogs have been screwed up, for the sake of a bit of patience , that’s true with most breeds of working dogs,
  20. It all boils down to worm counts, if you have a poor worm count, you tend to have more digging, at the end of the day they are trying to fill there bellies, if you have a lot of digging, in a field that is rich in worms, then you can expect a reasonably high Catch number, I get asked regularly by customers, how many moles do you think there is, well there’s no accurate way of knowing, I have gone to jobs that look horrendous, and caught no way near what I expected, and jobs that don’t particularly look bad, and caught far more than I expected, it’s a lottery really, I have done this for yrs an
  21. Yes I wouldn’t mind giving one ago, I met bob Merrin, last yr and never thought to ask him to make me one, I like trying different traps,
