    Yeah in devon prodominantly red and roe but maybe a few small pockets of fallow escaped from the parks

    A lot of drives have a game crop like maize where that holds the birds along with the hoppers

    Because I'd only use over trousers or chaps a couple times a year and I wanted the warmth and comfort of the moleskins but waterproof
  4. CharlieSlade
    I bought a pair of £15 moleskins a month or two ago for beating and shooting and I was wondering if I could waterproof them at home (or at least stop them soaking up the water) with some Nikwax fabric and leather proof? Rather than buying a pair of over trousers which I wouldn't wear all that often. Also it is applied with the sponge on type of dabber thing. Cheers in advance

    Holly or hawthorn is supposed to be really good if you can find a long enough straight piece, I usually just use hazel because I can't be arsed scanning the hedgerows for the really tough but usually quite crooked lengths of wood

    I not completely sure but on the estuaries and lakes and rivers they sometimes use large mesh cylinders with one end blocked (a bit like a waste paper bin) and it is anchored but floats which then has reeds or straw and stuff in for them to lay in ect

    Mora are made of carbon steel and I've found to keep their edge really well

    I find that the majority of farms have pheasant shoots taking place on their land and if you also offer to beat for them as well and help keep on top of pests it works well

    I think that ladds would be the best much more personal service, and if there's any problems or issues afterwards then they'll try their hardest to correct it.

    I saw probably about a dozen in a holly bush recently, there's loads of them red berries about now

    Maybe ruger .204?

    What was the weather like when you were beating? I was out on Thursday beating and we were going round with our checked shirts and sleeves rolled up, so warm!

    It is predominantly done for reduction of foxes, rabbits, squirrels, rats, hares and mice but with the rabbits and hares it is also done for the meat

    I've shot one like this before but it was an old male so I think it was fighting with the other rabbits

    I usually do a little slice along the belly horizontally then stick the end of blade and push up, I did have problems with fur and stuff being stuck in the mechanism of my lock knife but since I changed to mora it's so sharp and easy

    Horses for courses

    This is an email I got today, they have no new powers of entry

    Do you think it might be a second litter because of the abundance of food about, no doubt the pheasants
  19. CharlieSlade
    Yeah I saw it advertised in shooting times with the left hand action, looks good
  20. CharlieSlade
    I've heard they leave a horrible mess in your barrel afterwards, I'd get rid of them and use an air rifle instead for rats
  21. CharlieSlade
    Yeah, if i could I'd let mine go because they've stopped laying because of the nights drawing in. Looks more like they'll be going for a visit to the butchers, anyone know how much you can get for a brace of quail?

    Generally bipods make it worse for accuracy than better with spring air rifles, the motion and strange recoil from the spring make it unsuitable for being shot without being gripped. I'd buy a lightweight little bag to use filled with polystyrene balls so I could rest my hand on that and still grip the air rifle but at the moment I put my left elbow on the ground and then hold the forfend with that hand which I find stable enough

    About 8'o'clock in morning and half 5 to 6'o'clock in evening
  24. CharlieSlade
