  1. Was a good mag back then. Used to love looking at the adverts of stuff that I struggled to afford. Remember the old net making kit off kp and s I think. That lovely smell of hemp nets hanging off the caravan door. Ordered a blue eye off there to and my ferret finders. The local terrier man simpson I think used to write good stuff. Then there was that dodgy fella used to write the lurcher articles ah great days
  2. Good luck with it I can't imagine it being easy as the weather is going to play a big part. But it will sure beat the daily trudge of your previous job.
  3. Really glad I bought a 410 over and under last year
  4. 9.5 steel and after recommendations off here using precise. The lighter bands are paying off and also a nice short draw length to avoid pulling back past my nose seems to help. I am finding it a bit like my shotgun shooting though the more thought I put in the worse my accuracy. Also trying to be consistent with every thing is tricky. But getting there. Gave that plastic bottle in the stream a right pasting last night lol
  5. Yea I like him. Them collies make me chuckle sat in the landy all high and mighty while there distant relatives cop a dose of lead lol
  6. That the guy with collies that traps dogs?
  7. Definite theme here with the old terriers coming up trumps.
  8. Be better off with few fenns in tunnels unless his going to be on sentry duty all night every night. Unless he just wants bit fun

  10. I got one on my wish list this year and I see you can get them for about 500. I was thinking they would be really handy for night time netting with the gate and long nets. Also finding shot ducks in the winter that giving it the disappearing act. I just got get around to breaking it to the mrs
  11. So true bloody heros at least the good ones. They don't care how tight it is upside down sideways bloody backwards if that is what it takes lol
  12. How big are the basements over there they seem to hold a lot people. Its like that school or church that got hit it must been football pitch under it by the amount of people that were reported
  13. Any alternatives to basc ? I am tempted to cancel I went with them for the insurance and add a number to them. But it seems every one just rolls over. They should be fighting tooth and nail to batter back this stupid general licence but seem to just roll with it
  14. Bet it won't be long before lead weights in fishing comes into the mix water pollution blah blah just absurd. I have few old side by sides. I will just whack standard steel through them. Won't lose any sleep over chokes. Air rifles never occurred to me.
  15. Nice thread with 3 pages drivel at the end to wade through
  16. True all the shooting folks keep banging on about pest control I assume to make out they are complying with the general licence rubbish but unless your getting paid your doing it because you enjoy it. Nothing wrong with that though now a days your meant to hang you head in shame. But just because you enjoy it don't mean to say you don't care. Was out practising with the catty last week and passed a hare squatting less then 6 yards away. Would made perfect headshot and the next day a nice duck. Neither were touched just because of the time of year. My choice. September there might been steel ba
  17. A JR I had as a young fella. His qualities were endless Would track a rabbit like a hound and he would spend as long as it took working the scent out and would not quit. Once he hit a line it pretty much game over if I did my bit once it went to ground. If a rabbit bolted and slipped the nets he would follow it to ground then turn round and come back and help out until it was clear then take me where he had marked. If a rabbit bolted through sheep he would run wide so as to go around the sheep rather the storm through them if he could. 110% with sheep I could literally bet an arm on

    Pups

    They should be good I love a terrier. Just wouldn't be practical around here. That lakeland looks the spit of one I had a kid though they all look same. What a tit he was lol. Good luck with them I reckon they will be ideal
  19. So ridiculous and all that money spent looking into it. Should just lobbed him couple a cage traps and jar peanut butter or some thing. Plus the idiot that reported him when they heard a twang not like he was letting rip with shotgun. Just a joke. Still remember as a kid the old boy walking down the main road in winter shooting pigeons on the edge of the forestry and walking through the village gun over his arm. He was great angler too and out on the stream after any rain whipping out little trout. Made it look so easy
  20. Very interesting to see peoples experiences as my next pup was hopefully sired couple of weeks ago. She is a half cross collie greyhound , he is a half cross kelpie /welsh collie x greyhound. All I want is a nice little rabbit dog that will potter about fishing and with the gun and maybe find me any shot ducks that when wounded are sneakiest little sods going. I want a step back from the present bull cross attitude of lets pummel any thing that moves. For the first time in my life I am in no rush to work the dog but looking forward to training and just mooching about. The mum retrieves a ball
  21. Old Putin was giving it some cobblers this morning making out his all concerned about lives. When his just throwing his folks into the firing line with out a thought. Like they are just expendable
  22. Seems ok only used it once but seems solid enough. Works fine and does the job. Makes a fair old whack sound though depending where you plan to use it
  23. Neither have I jok I can't hit a barn but slowly getting to grips with it. Only ten yards or so at moment. But it is surprising what chances you get out and about. I often spy the odd rabbit in a hedge row squatting tight only yards away or the odd squirrel
