Totally different but there was a documentary on BBC ages ago about Britain's whaling fleet, we were commercially whaling until about 1963 I think. It was f***ing fascinating, I couldn't believe the scale of it especially in its peak after WW2. Almost made me want to give it a go.

As moxy said, big engine, short bar. You can do most work with a 13 inch bar, when I did my test felling large trees was 2 1/2 times guidebar length, so with a 13 inch bar you can fell a 32.5 inch diameter tree... That's big. A longer bar would make that job easier but when balancing the advantages of the faster rpm of turning a shorter chain, quicker sharpening and better handling for things like snedding and cross cutting I would go shorter any day over longer. I am a Husqvarna man myself so cant comment on Stihl saws but with any saw if you value your muscles especially those in your ba

They're good to teach safety. How old are your kids? I think I'd still go for at least a .410 if you are looking for something small for ratting. It will have a bit more longevity and be more generally useful. You have to balance the size of the gun with the likelihood of them getting a kill, my old man started me on a single barrelled 12g when I was 8. Had the stock cut down and the barrel shortened so it fit a bit better. Then just used light cartridges. Shot my first widgeon with it the next season.

What do you think was the cause of these injuries?

Do what Sussex says, Glyphosate based weedkillers (Roundup) need to be put on the green part of a plant, they are then carried down to the roots where they eventually kill the root. You won't get an instant result either so. Let it grow back, mix some roundup and spray the plant early morning on a clear day so that photosynthesis is taking place and the stoma are open but its not so hot that the chemical evaporates. Leave it a week and reapply. Any new shoots that come through, reapply. You will kill it. It just takes patience.

What have the Forestry Commission got to do with anything? A deer dog. A dog that is dedicated for following up wounded deer, its not rocket science. It should be able to at least track hot foot scent of wounded deer. Like I said in my original post, not a bird or rabbit dog that just has a good nose, this could find dead deer I am sure but not trail wounded deer. It's not complicating anything for anybody ffs the UKSHA is an organisation of deer dog handlers who will, if phoned use their dogs to help you find your injured deer. They are voluteers. They don't charge and they

My first deer dog was a Patterdale, from a keeper I knew, both parents were working dogs. I never encouraged him to go to earth and he never did. Made a cracking deer dog only his legs were a little short for really heavy cover. Personally I wouldn't have a dog for deer that did anything else. So my big dog doesn't do any work on birds or retrieving, just deer. And my terrier is just used for rabbiting. I know people have some dogs that are "all round" but in my experience they just tend to do a couple of jobs to a mediocre standard rather than one job really well. Terriers have

I understand that not everyone can own a deer dog. I put that in my original reply, but if you go stalking you should absolutely have access to a proper deer dog. Its not hard. That's why I mentioned the UKSHA, I can't believe there aren't any members on here. There is also another similar organisation that does the same job... Tracking wounded deer, usually free of charge.

Haha. I don't care if you think I am arrogant. I don't care if you think I am a c**t. I hope you dont care that i called you an arsehole I have my opinion and you have yours. I don't understand why people let themselves get offended so easily. Its the internet ffs. Good luck to you and anyone else.

Great pictures mate. Also, very entertaining thread.

The only person that can decide on the appropriate shot at any time is the guy looking down the scope. He may not be right of course but that is up to him. It is also up to him to be as well informed as possible and honest enough with himself to know his capabilities and limitations, and be calm enough to remember that at the right moment. In my opinion head and neck shots are the same. Small target, alright, a low neck shot is less mobile but the results of a botched job is just as difficult to follow up as a botched headshot. You are talking an inch of play between dead deer and

I don't work Springers so this is just an observation but I would suggest that depending where in the country your wildfowling is, (if it is coastal) you might find a lab to be a more powerful swimmer in stronger tides, also, I have never seen a Springer do a water retrieve on something like a Greylag or Canada goose, would you say they are strong enough for that? Because I know a lab is. Just thinking outside the box and I would love some input from other members but have you considered a German Wireheaired Pointer? Very strong, hard dogs. Take some seriously firm training techniques but

If it breaks your heart so much why don't you have one?What kind of stupid question is that? I have no use for a nsdtr or a chessie, because I don't do wildfowl over salt water. Labrador retriever is best suited for my needs.Haha. Easy mate. Where did you hear chessies and rollers are the best for wildfowling then? Its bullshit, if that were the case the breed would be more popular over here. Those breeds have never had a big following in the UK, or even a particularly great following in the states where they originated from certainly I would say that before the move to labs more flat

Does it matter? You won't know until you are pushing up daisies anyway. I have written my own bible. It's very simple and is summarised below. Just be nice to everybody.
