I would use them for a time,then one of the manufacturers would bring out a new model,so i would sell mine while it was still almost new,then buy another and so on.I enjoyed it immensely as i was shooting FT at the time.Then i got to the lighthunter and all the others i had shot palled into insignificance,it suited me down to the ground.Of all them the only one apart from the lighthunter that i could get comfortable with and shoot five pence size groups with at forty metres was the ripley.Now and again a pellet through the same hole as one of those previous as the pellet tray would verify.

First i would cut the boards for two canoes with a router using mdf templates lofted from the plans.(eight sheets 4mm ply ) then using tying wire stitch them together(the fabrication was done in a 20ft tunnel tent during the summer because the epoxy resin needs heat to cure.)I would go into the tent in the early morning,lay up two seams on each canoe,zip the tent up and go to work.the temperature would get up to around 100 degrees in tent, curing the epoxy resin.then in the evening when i come home i would fix inwales,outwales and gunwhales,then seats,yoke and thwart.I would get two canoes don

When i made them in 2006 to 2007, the ones i had to charge for, because the circle of my friends friends was getting decidedly distant.I had used all available timber that i had left over from other projects and had to source more timber,resin,vanish and paint as well as sundries.So when costed they went for around the £300 mark.They could carry 850lbs in weight, were 16ft long, with 3ft beam, weighed around 70lbs.

Amazing it has still not moved,must be dead

We must do our best for our hunting allies if we expect them to do their best for us.

Great, a situation viewed from another perspective,this is what makes it so diverse .Different methods and applications.

Some off my past pcp's B.S.A Camo Superten Ripley AR5 Logun s16 B.S.A. hornet B.S.A Bullbarrel Superten Falcon Lighthunter which is the only one i kept. I have lost pics of the theoben pcp's and gas rams,so could not have been impressed. Same for the daystates i have owned. But because they did not impress me does not mean that they will not impress someone else,each to his own i believe is the term

a few projects i have done for different hobbies i have,apart from the sledge,i enjoyed steaming and bending the timber and of course to see if i could do it. originally built two canoes,one for me,one for a friend,who had friends, which then turned into twenty,i kid you not By now you can guess what happened with the paddles,yes i lost count. but all in all it was most enjoyable. Of course being a carpenter gave me a slight edge.

I would do the blocking a week in advance and go and drop somewhere else (thats the advantage of having more than one piece of ground scoped out"options")this will give them time to get accustomed to going through the 6yd gap and if possible go a least a couple times in that week to fill and block any digs they may have started now their runs are blocked.Do not forget to take the wind direction into account and pick a night when its blowing the same way you want them to bolt,so they do not get your scent when you are setting or you will be trying to spook an empty field.Because they would have

It keeps them busy and gives them exercise to build stamina.I do not think it fair to keep ferrets in a small hutch,then take them out and expect them to work all morning

why do you not drop Rob58 a pm,he is very good judging by his drink squirrel mount.

i bought all the 4 jills from one litter and my two hobs each from a different litter.I have kept ferrets from when i was a lad, at one stage i had forty kept in round brick enclosures with a elevated tiled roof,the same as Abbott brothers of Norfolk did,but due to my bereavement eight years ago i decided to find all my stock new homes and take to the road as a form of therapy to handle the loss,traveled a lot of the country ,took various jobs but none that i could not just walk away from (great therapy),I hunted with a long net and trout fished when i could.So now it is good to get back to no

Yes, i have always caught a few using a drop net while i have been fishing from the bank

Unless of course man in his ignorance then goes down the pathogenic path again as in 1953,by 1955 95% of the rabbit population was decimated,from a hunting point of view we are lucky the rabbits fecundity is what it is,amazing.there are now three times as many as what there was then.Which to some degree is worrying,for if it is decided at government level to be a pest threat who knows what they will now unleash upon the humble bunny.

Thank you

Yes the hunting learning curve like lifes is never ending,if we take notice of it,it can make us more understanding as hunters and more understanding as people.Evolution never stops.
-
Masterfull,that one word says it all,well done
-
thanks very much.

All worth entering in one's hunting knowledge base.There's that learning curve again.

How expensive are they?
