Simoman 110 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Same dogs and the same lamps/boots/clothes and everything else The only new bit of new equipment i fancy is the u caller, not for dogs as thats illegal, but for the gun....... Already had 3/4 outings to get the lay of the land, get the dogs eased back into it, see whats been cut, what hasn't and see what quarry numbers are around, where they run etc etc etc.........

fcuktheban 140 Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'm always shopping for the latest gadgets until I see the price, then I either make it myself or decide I don't need it. The basics are the most important, a good pair of shoes, waterproof clothes with big pockets and my dugs. Quote Link to post
