  1. If that was my deer I would have shot the dog. It is funny though
  2. Ahh ok, cheers.
  3. Who was he?

  6. Saved me hundreds because I only go to the pub about half as much.

  8. :lol:
  9. Not at all. Well, a bit. I wish my desk had pebbles on it.

  11. Home made chocolate chip-cookies, kneeded by a buxom wench...
  12. Stand corrected.

  17. 28s are a good gun for walked up grouse and ptarmigan when one is doing more walking than shooting, to be honest I have only shot driven partridge but they will kill most anything you can with a 12. I shot one for years and it killed everything, pheasant, partridges, ducks and geese on stubble. I was loading on a shoot Devon that was putting out the highest pheasants last year.The chap was shooting with a rather lovely pair of 28b David McKay-Browns. He had a 1/3 kill ratio. Your either being sarcastic or you know SFA about shooting!
  18. Sorry, I was in a rush and found what I was basically going to say so quoted it - I dont know anything about the infection so its out of my park. I think we need more willow, poplar and larches. Coppice needs to be investigated on a more mechanised level, rather than in this whole "keeping ancient skills alive" swollocks, and we need to be turning agric land into forests if we are serious about woodfuels as a country.
  19. So how the foof are they knocking it all over then?
  20. I've had DS2 people out with me I wouldn't give a pop gun to, they gralloch about as well as a teckel! Something should compulsory, but it should not be 1&2 - they are about lining the pockets of certain organisations I am afraid.
  21. This is true. However it is the only paper qual I have and it shows I am competent (arguable I know) when it comes to culling. I'm 2 deer out of the 3 for L2. My management knowledge comes from the apprenticeship I served with an estate stalker, of course I could brag about how many deer I have shot, and how far away they were I suppose, but that really isn't my style.
