    God damn that's pretty

    Yes. Gravity is a constant force. I should have worded that differently. A larger projectile will carry more energy but also have a greater surface area available to resistance from the air. This is minimal by comparison to the effective loss of energy by disturbing the matter that the bullet has come into contact with. I know what I am trying to say but I cant get it into words... Anyway its not important. I agree with you 100%. I wish it were possible to see the effect of impact of every bullet on the ground, my feeling is that the vast majority (certainly not all)of bullets,

    This is totally true. Having spent many thousand rimfire and many thousand centrefire rounds I know which one I would be worried about most often when it came to ricochet. It is correct that bullet composition will play a part, but so does the theory of relativity. Kinetic energy lost to the ground by digging in or breaking or moving large debris is massive, as is the resistance from gravity and air of the larger projectile versus the smaller. It doesn't necessarily follow that after striking the ground a larger or heavier projectile will travel further than a smaller one. As for

    In theory yes. But the greater the velocity and the more energy, the greater the potential for a ricochet off something hard in the backstop and the further it will travel if it does. If it made no difference, the police wouldn't issue guidelines and we'd all be shooting 50 BMG against foxes and rabbits.......well those of us that could afford the ammo would! No. That's not true. .22 rimfire is far more prone to ricochet than any fullbore rifle round.

    I hate people like you!! I think some people like me are just tick magnets while others can go through the same bit of ground and pick up home.

    Yeah, I have left the heads in before more than once, you can sometimes see them in your skin, they usually just go a bit pussy like a blackthorn thorn and come out. Compared to lymes that's nothing. You are far better off to remove the tick quickly and without squeezing the body than you are to leave it in because you are worried about pulling the head off, you have 12-24 hours from when the tick first latches on before it starts regurgitating, this is what gives you lymes. Although it should be said that not all ticks carry lymes, different areas of the country are worse. Just in from w

    Don't worry, you wont get lymes from leaving a tick head in. In fact you are better to get the tick out and leave the head in rather than leave the tick foe long enough to begin regurgitating. Ad long as when you remove the tick you don't squeeze the body or do anything else to cause it to regurgitate. I pick up ticks daily. 365 days of the year, granted most days in the winter I only find single figures, but this time of year it can be endless, I have had 9 dug in today. Catch them early, remove them properly and you have no worries from lymes. This powassan thing, I don't know.

    To get an effective dose of quinine from tonic water you need to drink an Olympic swimming pool full.

    On the subject of testing deer dogs, I don't know. I haven't heard anything about making it compulsory to have a deer dog. As far as I am concerned a deer dog is a dog that is trained to find wounded deer. I have never in my life laid a trail for mine, he stalks at heel with me and is on to deer within 15 mins of shot. What I mean by a deer dog is not your mates dog that has never seen a deer before in its life but "had a good nose" or your wife's spaniel that comes beating now and then. If your dog can trail wounded deer, that is the majority of its work and you can hand on heart
  10. Hydropotesinermis
    Thanks. I wont argue my point any more, I see no point. Enjoy your stalking too.
  11. Hydropotesinermis
    Great. Obviously your wife's spaniel doesn't just get the odd day's beating. It is clearly an excellent deer dog with the added bonus of being able to find high seats and blue roll as well.
  12. Hydropotesinermis
    So applying that logic, are you saying we should all have animal specific dogs? Or are you suggesting that deer are far more important than any other mammal we may hunt/shoot, calling people arseholes because they dont have a dog for deer, is just typical modern day arrogant BDS bullsh*t, sorry mate but get your head out from your arse. Ffs. This is stupid. You don't have to own a dog to have access to one. A deer dog will be better for finding wounded deer. A lurcher will be better for coursing rabbits. A retriever will be better at picking up. Pointers are better at pointin

    Very odd to have that happen. Husky and Stihl are market leaders. I bought a husky 346xp on my 18th birthday after passing my tickets through college. Still got it 12 years on, by Christ that saw has had some abuse, never even had to replace the clutch, been through countless bars and chains as you would expect dlfrom a saw that has done a lot of work, a few air filters and I changed the fuel filter not too long ago.Parts fail. But that's the beauty of a pro range. You can get the bits and fix them. Nothing will last forever. Sooner or later your going to be into a carb kit or piston and bar

    Well yeah! That's my point!! All you have to do is pick up the phone.

    This is awesome mate. Long may it continue.

    The stalker. Just to calrify I am not saying it should be made compulsory. Really speaking it shouldn't have to be, it's just being responsible. EVERYONE who stalks has access to a deer dog!! I keep banging on about the UKSHA and the UKDTR. They will come and trail your deer. It's what the do, for enjoyment. Often for free. You just have to take the leap and phone them. http://www.ukdeertrackandrecovery.co.uk/ http://uksha.co.uk/

    A deer dog won't always follow a blood trail, often there won't be one. In the example that started this whole debate off a head shot was taken which resulted in a miss. if you head or neck shoot and f**k up there will almost certainly be no blood trail. what your dog is following then is the pheromones released by the inter digital scent glands because the deer is under stress, this differentiates it from live deer's foot scent. An experienced dog will pick this scent up amongst live deer scent. even in a park. It is impressive stuff. I would imagine Darren that if your Teckel

    I don't disagree with you there. I don't want to make anything compulsory. My original post was inflammatory but It is my opinion. If you stalk deer without access to an adequate deer dog you are an arsehole. I don't mean you necessarily have to own one, several of my mates call me out if they have an issue (I bring my dog.) If you don't know anybody who has a deer dog then there are organisations who will help. Darren, you have a deer dog, that must be because you realise their value, if one of the people who you have mentored phoned you up and asked for help findi

    I have nothing against running dogs, and actually that comment was aimed at born hunter who had previously joked about needing a different dog for every sport. The reason I mentioned running dogs is because his avatar has a picture of one. It was an example of my point, that's all, no prejudice involved. Actually I don necessarily agree with the European style of dog tracking but that is by the by. My point is that if you wound a deer there are people you can call. This service is in use on the continent, government sanctioned and free of charge. I see no reason why it would be

    I don't know about the forestry commission, I don't care. I never stalk without a dog, i shoot my fair share of deer and unfortunately i have the occasional f**k up. Some i wouldn't have been able to un f**k without a dog. My point was this. At present if you don't have access to a proper, well trained deer dog there are people who will track wounded deer fo free, you just have to call them. I don't understand what is so hard about that. If you don't have access to a proper deer dog or you are too pig headed to phone someone who has in the event of something going wrong then
