    Good watch that Stav. Had a good boxing day shoot birds which considering we only had half our normal beating team is a great result.

    Ahh Tall trees! That brings back some memories young farmers used to organise bus trips there from my area of Northumberland we never used to get home before daybreak, usually in some inebriated state!!!

    I feel sorry for Baldcoot! I sometimes forget to count my blessings, i have a rough shoot just out side the village and the more formal driven shoot I'm in is 7 miles away.

    Hi Stavross Just come back from my hols in North york moors. For a change i drove down through Stokesley into Rosedale Abbey. I assume your syndicate land is around the Stokesley area? Looks a lovely spot for a pheasant shoot. Master tech.

    Hi Guys I am thinking of buying a semi auto for using around pheasant pens,dairy farms and for night time rabbit control. I am going to get an atec moderator for it and there will be times when i will want to use subsonic cartridges as well. Has anyone had any experience with this. Would i be better of with inertia or a gas action or should i just opt for a pump? Regards, Mastertech

    I know what you mean pirate 9000 its all biased towards the urban majority.

    I dont condone wild life crime but why do the BBC insist on trying to tar everyone with the same brush. Why are the RSPB given so much air time compared to BASC?
