Crank up the big diesel server, Steve. This bandwidth’s about to get busy.

I didn't ask tonight, just got a beer in any glass as it was so busy! I'm not a glass snob but would accept a new glass if that is what they have to use!

I would worry if my saw was blowing out sparks like that! Unless it was a cutoff saw or a customs or pol8ce saw gaining entry.....

We (the syndicate that I beat for, 2-5 birds per gun, per day usually) don't have a keeper per se. They have work parties and a feeding rota and one of them is the farmer. I'm starting to help out a bit. Gleaning what I can. I should broaden my horizons to some other shoots really. Was asking one of the busier beaters last weekend about the local scene. He suggested Sailor might remain restrained on some of them, depending on my appetite for admonishment.

And they made 17 mill in copyright infringements 😂

Stihl put up a competition for best tattoo incorporating their saws, I don't know whether that was the winner but I reckon he was in with a pretty good chance. first prize was 17 thousand dollars.

Still a lot of work and money goes in to get 10 birds a gun. im no expert Alex but most I ever picked up was chatting to keepers in the pub afterwards, one of them ray was an absolute legend , quiet composed man who had been a marine In the Korean War then came to the estate I lived on at the time, he had personally planted and looked over the woods since then .. taught me more than any book Ive picked up since.

Honey rum here. Kids left it out for father Christmas. Excellent choice on their part. 😃

I'm finding an Outmeal Stout quite nice and warming at the moment. Now that it's been mentioned I think I'll avail myself to a cheeky rum before bed as well.

Really helpful Thanks guys. Makes sense. If weather is fine I will start to disassemble before going to Christmas lunch hosted for a change by offspring! Results to follow

I orderd a 15 in K041 format, I received a K095 Mount. The seller is sending me out the proper bar and a return label. Am telling you, Ireland is no joke, just about everything goes wrong.

A few mate, but it’s pre-WW1 stuff. Killing little owls etc. Prehistocic. Very interesting history, but that’s it.

Anything more like a keepering manual? How to arrange vegetation to hold birds, when to feed, wtf does dogging-in mean anyway, where to put your guns and beaters etc.

I’ve got a few books you can borrow mate, but they nearly all pertain to the big commercial shoots which I have come to detest. 10 well-shot driven birds in a day is fine for a single gun. 200 is why people are trying to ban it.

I only ever shot 1 (not that it is a competition). I was so taken aback by the beauty of the bird when i picked it up, I swore there and then to never shoot another - haven't and won't and that was 1981 !!!!!

I have been using my RRP for months so I climbed on BDB yesterday and it reminded me how bloody brilliant it is!

Is your surname "Goebbels"?

Ridgeline smock is designed for hunters and fishers. Brilliant! Anything designed for Arb is poor quality and very expensive.

Times is still left. Even more since the overton window has moved.
